Containing a powerful combination of Hebridean sea water and granules of Ascophyllum nodosum (Knotted Wrack Seaweed), ishga’s Exfoliating Face Mask will leave your skin detoxified, smooth and glowing. Did you know this effective skincare product has more uses? Let's take a deeper look at one of our bestselling face products.
What are the benefits of using an Exfoliating Face Mask?
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin which also helps to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. It gives your skin a circulation boost and aids in lymphatic flow and drainage. It can also help with product absorption, to remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin which could prevent serums and moisturisers from penetrating the skin optimally.
How often should I exfoliate?
That depends on your skin type. If you exfoliate too much, you risk damaging the skin barrier. For our Exfoliating Face Mask, as a general guideline, we would recommend the following:
- Sensitive skin: Once a week
- Dry skin: 1 - 2 times a week
- Normal skin: Twice a week
- Oily skin: 2- 3 times a week
What makes the ishga Exfoliating Face Mask so effective?
It’s organic and contains three key active ingredients which each deliver their own benefits.
Hebridean seawater- The unpolluted, clean waters of the Outer Hebrides have a rich mineral content which purify and deliver nourishment to skin.
Ascophyllum nodosum (Seaweed)- Contains high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols which help to protect the skin. This seaweed is known for its exfoliating properties to smooth and brighten skin.
Rose Geranium - Can help to balance the skin's natural oil production while minimising the appearance of enlarged pores. It is an excellent ingredient for those with acne or oily prone skin too.
Tips for using your Face Mask
Other than using it as a weekly face mask, you can use it as a gentle daily exfoliator or to help heal acne scarring. To do so:
- Mix a few pumps of Active Cleansing Lotion with the Exfoliating Face Mask or add a small amount of warm water and gently massage into the skin to use as a gentle daily exfoliator. Use circular movements on the face for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly
- You could also apply a concentrated amount to acne scarring to heal damaged skin and reduce appearance.
