#2 - Tony Moly Red Wine Mask 

Replenish your skin with the I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet. This mask's three‐layer pulp sheet is formulated with red wine extract, which helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, while tightening and purifying skin. For a healthier looking complexion, apply the mask onto a clean, dry face and leave on for 20-30 minutes. When removed, pat any excess into your skin until fully absorbed.

#3 - Mudmasky Blue Light Protection Mask 

Spending too much time in front of your digital devices? If so, this Blue Light Protection Mask is for you. Protecting your skin like a shield, this mask prevents premature skin-ageing caused by the HEV-light that's emitted off smartphones and laptops. The perfect replacement for your usual day cream - apply a thin layer to your face and leave on during the day. 

How Does HEV Light Damage Skin? 

HEV light reaches the hypodermis and makes it potentially more damaging to the skin than ultraviolet rays! HEV light exposure can lead to dry and sensitive skin, which speeds up the process of skin aging. 

Which Ingredients Help? 

Mudmasky’s easy formula blocks HEV Light up to 94% from digital devices, and includes ingredients such as: 

• Carnosine - boosts your skin’s natural defence against daylight and radiations whilst firming, and smoothing the skin. 
• Tocopheryl Acetate - a strong antioxidant that helps to protect cell components from premature changes and supports the formation of new cells. 
• Natural Calendula - reduces inflammation for the preventive care of normal, sensitive and dry skin. 
• Moroccan Lava Clay - an extraordinary mineral-rich clay that helps in the treatment of dehydrated, sensitive skin, and enlarged pores, and also builds and strengthens the elasticity of the skin. 

#4 - Q&A Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum 

Hyaluronic Acid is a super hydrator. Therefore, enriched with this natural ingredient (plus many more!), this Q+A facial serum will quench even the thirstiest skin. Calming, soothing, firming and anti-ageing, this product is suitable for all skin types in need of a hydration boost! For best results, apply the serum to clean skin, prior to moisturising, both morning and night. 

Key Ingredients In The Q&A Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum: 

• Hyaluronic Acid - rejuvenates, hydrates, and promotes healthy skin. Renowned for its anti-ageing properties, making it a key ingredient for mature skin. 
• Biosaccharide Gum - provides intense moisturisation whilst helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Leaves skin velvety soft and feeling fresher than ever.  
• Betaine - helps to balance moisture levels and prevents products from feeling sticky. 

#5 - Gosh Copenhagen Gosh Catchy Eyes Drama Mascara 

Give your lashes the dramatic volume they deserve with just one coat of Catchy Eyes Drama Mascara! This mascara lasts up to 24 hours and catches even the tiniest of lashes with its unique, curved brush. 

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Mascara 

If mascara is one of the few makeup products you’re wearing during lockdown, you want to make the most out of it! Here are our top expert tips! 

1. Curl your lashes first - curling lashes makes them look even longer. Not sure how to use one? Follow our guide on how to use an eyelash curler to make things simple! 
2. Precision placement - place your wand at the root of your lashes, then wriggle the wand through your lashes in a zig-zag motion, working upwards from the root all the way to the tip.  
3. Be gentle on the bottom - start by holding your wand horizontally and applying a couple of coats, then turn the brush vertically and coat each lash individually.
