Think spots are something just teenagers get? Think again. Around 20 per cent of women suffer from acne well into their 20s and 30s, which can be caused by anything from stress to hormone fluctuations and more.

This hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested Face Mask was designed to specifically target irritated skin suffering from acne, blemishes, redness and excess oil secretion. Containing Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, Centella Asiatica and Witch Hazel, this Face Mask is one of the most effective treatments for controlling problem skin.
We often go into the festive season with loads of good intentions. The party where you swore you’d only have one or two drinks. The lunch that went so well… until the desserts came out. And the snacks you only ate because they were, well… there! All the festivities of Christmas, the celebrations over the New Year and the overindulgence associated with both, can take its toll on the health and beauty of our skin, especially the delicate skin on the face. Whether skin looks dull, tired and lifeless and in need of a boost of vitality, or the toxic overload has resulted in breakouts, it’s the time of year when salons often see an influx of clients seeking solutions to their skin care problems or wishing to embark on a detox programme.
The Skin Republic Spots & Blemish Face Mask is a saviour after the festive binge. It helps cleanse the skin’s pores. Clears spots and aids in preventing breakouts with tea tree extract and salicylic properties. Witch hazel helps tighten pores and stabilises the barrier function of the skin. These ingredients remove pore-clogging oil, control shine and reduce redness without over drying, helping to maintain a healthy and clear complexion.
Salicylic Acid is a highly effective and gentle pore cleanser. It works by causing the cells of the epidermis to slough off more rapidly encouraging new, healthy skin to regenerate. Salicylic Acid is ideal for people with sensitive skin who are prone to breakouts as it gently cleanses the pores without irritating the skin.
Tea Tree Oil is widely known for its enormous skin benefits with antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, and germicidal properties. In addition Tea Tree Oil contains anti-inflammatory properties helping to soothe the skin and reduce redness.
Centella Asiatica has several skin care benefits such as boosting circulation, improving the collagen foundation of the skin, fighting oxidation and improving the skin firmness and elasticity. In addition, Centella Asiatica is believed to be the primary stimulate in the production of collagen and speeds up the skin’s healing process of spots and blemishes.
Witch Hazel helps with controlling water loss ensuring skin remains hydrated. It is also a highly effective astringent visibly reducing the size of the skin’s pores. Witch Hazel helps to stabilise the barrier function of the skin, reducing skin redness and has antioxidant properties.
