Stay golden with latest product in Paris Hilton's scientific skincare collection, the Gold Peel-Off Face Mask by Pro D.N.A.
The new peel-off mask is a botanical- based treatment that refreshes and tones the skin by lifting away dead skin cells and impurities. As the mask dries, the company says it shrinks the appearance of pores while active ingredients like bilberry and willow bark invigorate the skin. As the mask is being removed, any dead skin cells, dirt and other pollutants that cause blackheads and acne are lifted away, revealing a radiant skin tone and silky-smooth texture.
Benefits:
AHAs provide gentle yet efficient exfoliation, removing dead skin cells by breaking down the substance that holds them to the surface
Hyaluronic Acid deeply moisturizes, giving the skin a supple and silky texture
Vitamin C targets dullness and uneven skin tone, leaving the complexion smooth, radiant and glowing
Purifies pores by removing acne-causing bacteria
Calms skin with a cooling sensation, eliminating redness and dry spots
Anti-inflammatory properties firm and brighten skin by facilitating healthy blood circulation
Key Active Ingredients:
Bilberry: Bilberry holds anti-inflammatory properties that calm swelling, keep skin clear and breakout-free by preventing infection and combat the sings of aging by facilitating healthy blood circulation.
Sugar Maple / Sugar Cane: As a natural Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), sugar cane helps minimize and repair cell damage by removing bacteria and dead skin buildup, preventing new blemishes and wrinkles from forming.
Willow Bark: This exfoliant reduces excess oil. This ingredient not only smooths wrinkles, but it can even help alleviate frustrating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E acts as an effective antioxidant that helps fight inflammation and reduce the appearance of scars, all while forming a barrier around cell membranes to keep them healthy and hydrated.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps defend against free radicals while acting as an antioxidant that minimizes visible damage, boosts collagen production and reduces brown spots.
Usage:
Using two to three fingers, liberally apply an even layer of product to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area, eyebrows, hairline and lips. Let the mask set for 10 – 15 minutes or until completely dry. Gently peel off the mask from the outer edges and rinse any residue with warm water if necessary. Use once or twice a week depending on your skin type.
