All about: Manuka Doctor ApiRefine Illusionist Rapid Lift Mask

At this time of year it’s all about having a gay ol’ time… and then putting on a brave face the day after. Too many late nights, too much of the good stuff and waaaay too much champagne make me a dull girl, and so I reach for a number of great quick fixes to keep me looking at very least above par when the Christmas calendar is fit to burst.

One I’ve tried of late already has two awards under its belt, and comes in the form of Manuka Doctor’s new ApiRefine Illusionist Rapid Lift Mask. The company call it “an instant facelift in a jar”, which has been designed to have skin photo-ready in just minutes.

Included in the fast acting, skin-plumping mask is a unique combination of Manuka Doctor’s clinically proven Purified Bee Venom (PBVTM), Certified UMF 18+ Manuka Honey (can’t get enough of that stuff), Shea Butter, natural waxes and Vitamin E to deeply nourish the skin, stimulate collagen growth and renew damaged skin cells. Add to that Chicory Root and Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum to provide skin with instant and medium-term tightening effects while promoting collagen synthesis and you have one hell of a cocktail. A skin-loving cocktail that is!

It also works in about ten minutes’, so is the perfect pick for throwing on before yet another big night. Apply it to clean, dry skin and then wipe off excess with a clean cloth just ten minutes’ later… the end result? Tired skin that looks and feels a whole lot better, and is plump in all the right places.

If you don’t know the brand then get this: Manuka Doctor was honoured in 2012, 2013 and 2014 within the beauty industry internationally, winning ‘Best New Brand’ at the annual beauty awards hosted by Cosmetic Executive Women UK (CEW UK). They know their stuff and this little jar of magic dust is the stuff and so much more.

Manuka Doctor ApiRefine Illusionist Rapid Lift Face Mask has an RRP of $59.95 for a 40ml jar and is great for all skin types, apart from people allergic to bee stings.
