Biotherm’s New Essence-in-Mask
Famous for its Life Plankton™ essence, Biotherm’s newest innovation combines this key ingredient with everybody’s latest obsession – sheet masks.
The Essence-in-Mask not only delivers 5% of the healing power of Life Plankton but it’s now in a format that makes it a lot easier to incorporate into a self-care regimen.
The sheet mask is heavily saturated in a gel-serum that is lightly fragranced with a fresh, marine-floral scent. The mask itself is plush and thick, made of 100% biodegradable organic cotton. Unlike many other sheet masks, this does not come with an oft-unnecessary plastic backing, keeping the packaging to a minimum and reducing excessive waste. Every pouch is generously filled with this highly nutritious elixir, so make sure to scoop up what’s left at the bottom and apply it to your neck, décolleté and hands.
Keep this on for eight minutes (never keep a sheet mask on so long that it starts to dry out), after which the results are pleasantly, immediately visible: plumper, smoother, healthier skin. At Life Plankton’s core is a micro-organism (originally discovered in the French Pyrenees) that contains 35 different proteins, vitamins and amino acids that collectively help nourish the skin and ultimately beautify it.
For jet setters, this is heavenly on stressed, dehydrated skin. Book-end your trip with this treatment before and after flights to ensure your skin has the best chance of staying strong, hydrated and comfortable.
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart, The Hudson’s Bay and online at biotherm.ca. $64 for a pack of six masks.
