October's Beauty Products

Over our lifetime, face masks have climbed the skincare ladder. They’ve lifted themselves from sludge-y banana-scented concoctions (the kind we’d cake our faces in at sleepovers in the early Noughties), to a high-tech and ultra-effective way to dispense our skin with an instant hit of gratification. Chuck one on and put your feet up, and you could be letting yourself in for a boost of luminosity, hydration and pore-refining, with very little input.
