ADDING PROBIOTICS TO YOUR BEAUTY REGIME
I wish I had more time to use facial masques because my skin always feels so fresh and alive after an evening masqueing session. But since time is precious, I need to make sure that when I do set aside time for a little beauty treatment, it’s got to be worth while.
Enter the new Odacité Synergie[4] Immediate Skin Perfecting Beauty Masque. This is a masque unlike any other you’ve tried. First of all it comes in a powder form that needs to be activated by water to get all the ingredients going. You’ve no doubt heard all about the benefits of taking probiotics internally, but have you heard of a probiotic face masque that delivers detox, peel, brightening and collagen boosting actions? The probiotics stay potent because the moisture has been removed, and all the ingredients such as Clay, Activated Charcoal, Papaya, Vitamin C (just to name a few) work together to produce the skin perfecting results.
In order to active the product even further, Odacité encourages becoming your own skin chef by supercharging the results of the masque by adding ingredients from your own pantry or fridge. This is what initially caught my attention, because who doesn’t want to use all-natural ingredients in their skincare routine when they can? (I was that girl who washed my hair with eggs and beer as a kid to boost the shine). We always have freshly squeezed juice in our house (may or may not be squeezed by me), so I immediately knew I wanted to add some OJ to boost the vitamin power in the masque. Next time I’m going to attempt adding is a bit of mashed raspberries for the antioxidant benefits, as well as on another occasion try adding in a small amount of mashed avocado for its abundant nutrients.
A little goes a long way when using this product (which is good to know given the price tag). You start by mixing 1.5tsp of powder with 1tsp of water. Then you can add your own natural ingredient or an additional boost of your favorite Odacite Serum Concentrate. At first I found that the mixture was very liquidy, but when I used the application brush included in the package, it immediately went on my skin smoothly and provided a thick layer of complete coverage. After about 15 minutes it had completely dried and I washed it away with warm water.
After washing off the masque I finished my beauty treatment with a few drop of the Odacite Wild Carrot Serum Concentrate. This is by far my favorite of their serums for it’s brightening results, and a just a couple drops added to your moisturizer or on its own really kickstart your skin’s glowing potential. You can read more about my love of Odacite here.
The overall results were smooth, bright and clear looking skin. I have to admit I do have problem-free skin to start with, but my face certainly felt refreshed and full of life. Anything to erase signs of exhaustion, stress and tired skin, is all good in my books!
The majority of masques out there usually have one goal or benefit that it sets out to accomplish. I love how the Odacite Syngergie[4] Immediate Skin Perfecting Masque delivers multiple results with just one use. For me this means: one masque, better use of my precious time, greater results and one happy mama!
