DIY an At-Home Facial with NUDESKIN’s Tight & Bright Face Mask

Self-care has been on everyone’s mind for the past two years — and for good reason. Daily life was flipped on its head and there were more than a few stressors added to it. It was more important than ever to take a few minutes to yourself every day to take a bath, a walk or try a new face mask. We’re partial to all three, which can take less than an hour out of your day. Because self-care isn’t about completely changing your routine or who you are as a person. It’s about adding a few things to your day that allow you to focus on the most important person in your life — yourself. 

With NUDESKIN, it’s easy to DIY a facial right in the comfort of your own bathroom. The star of the show is the TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK. “We created the TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK to make your skin feel exactly that...soft, firm and glowy using proven effective ingredients,” says NUDESTIX founder Jenny Frankel. “After exfoliating, I love applying this multi-tasking mask that works its magic while relaxing either in the bath, watching my favorite TV series or reading a book. I love the way my skin feels smooth, plump and clear after using this mask. The best part? People stop to tell me how amazing my skin looks all the time.”

So, bust out the bubble bath and let’s get started. 

WHAT IT IS

First, here’s why your skin is going to love TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK. The vegan-powered gel mask clarifies, softens and brightens skin all in just 10 minutes. We told you it wouldn’t take long to treat yourself! This is thanks to 10 percent mandelic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates dead skin cells, making the skin feel fresher, smoother and firmer. Mandelic acid also helps clarify pores and reduce the appearance of blemishes to reveal healthy-looking skin that glows. 

TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK also features 10 percent niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that helps strengthen the lipid barrier, locking in moisture. It helps reduce redness and signs of aging all at the same time. To improves skin texture and tone, there’s also 2 percent betaine salicylate, a keratolytic beta hydroxy acid (BHA). 

In addition to skin-brightening and smoothing AHAs and BHAs, vegan ingredients such as green tea leaf, Aloe Barbadensis leaf and cucumber fruit extracts work to reduce the signs of aging, calm, soothe and hydrate skin. All of this is done without sulfates, phthalates, gluten, parabens or synthetic fragrances. TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK is also vegan and cruelty-free. 

HOW TO USE

Remove all traces of makeup and sunscreen with NUDESKIN CITRUS CLEAN BALM & MAKEUP MELT. The gentle, olive oil-based cleanser gently deep cleans without stripping the skin. Follow it out with NUDESKIN GENTLE HYDRA-GEL FACE CLEANSER, a vegan, non-foaming, clean water-based gel cleanser. Once your face is smooth and clean, apply TIGHT + BRIGHT FACE MASK to the face, neck and chest. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes. For pesky blemishes, apply as a spot treatment to leave on overnight. Sit in the bathtub and take some deep breaths, enjoying some much-needed me time. When you’re ready to get back to the real world, rinse your face and neck with cool water and pat dry. Finish with CITRUS-C MASK & DAILY MOISTURIZER for brightening hydration and, if using during the day, your favorite SPF. Don’t forget the skin on your lips with HYDRA-PEPTIDE LIP BUTTER.

Now, you’re ready to take on whatever the day throws at you. Hey, at least you’ll do it with great skin.
