All about: Katherine Daniels' amazing Instant Effect Eye Masks

Whenever I travel – especially long haul, and when I’m heading somewhere with a major temperature difference to home – I start amassing a travel beauty arsenal of goodies to hopefully steer clear of having to deal with less-than-clear skin when I’m enjoying myself. One clever little product that I’ll now never travel without is the salon strength Katherine Daniels Instant Effect Eye Mask, which comes in a pack of four sets and is a real no-brainer if you’re a frequent flyer or gearing up for a big event.

With concentrated Sea Kelp and Mineral Complex and saturated with hydra-boosting Hyaluronic Acid, they recently won the award for ‘Best Eye Mask’ at the Beauty Shortlist Awards, which is no mean feat. Renowned for being the biggest, most independent, non-sponsored beauty awards in the UK and going onto their 8th year, the Beauty Shortlist Awards are recognised globally. The judging panel is comprised of 10 independent beauty experts from Australia, the UK and USA, and this year’s lineup included red carpet, cruelty free makeup artist Justine Jenkins, Beauty Heroes founder Jeannie Jarnot and eco-luxe beauty blogger Shahrzad of the Beauty Spot.

The Katherine Daniels Instant Effect Eye Masks were a clear winner in their category, with stats like a 70 per cent reduction in wrinkles and 85 per cent revitalised skin reported after just one use. Their power is partly down to the fact that each mask is activated right before you use it, which means the skin around the delicate eye area will get a powerhouse of fresh ingredients that helps it look visibly luminous, plumped and smooth and feeling hydrated, firm and revitalised. The superior anti-ageing eye mask delivers instant visible results after just one use, and sustained visible effectiveness if used two times per week. I took a pack to Japan recently and used them both during my flight and upon arrival at my destination, and will be taking some to Los Angeles as well when I travel there next month. They are super easy to use as well – just apply them to clean, dry skin as directed on the back of the eye mask pack, leave in place for at least 20 minutes, remove and gently press the remainder of the product into the skin around the eye area. Too easy and the results are INCREDIBLE.

At RRP $99.95 for a four pack the Katherine Daniels Instant Effect Eye Masks aren’t cheap, but if you can afford them then do splurge- they come highly recommended.
