Magic Mask


Lady Gaga loves a good mask.
Can a mask be magical? When it comes to skincare, I have always believed they can make a transformative difference.

The idea of gently massaging a mask or scrub onto my skin every day seems like a good one. Sometimes though, over-zealousness has led to very dry and even irritated skin. To combat this, when I used a strong exfoliating mask or scrub, I would often follow it up with a calming moisture mask. 

My new favorite mask and scrub are both from Luzern Laboratories. They each combine effective exfoliation with hydrating ingredients and have the added benefit of being free of chemical preservatives and other toxic chemicals.

Luzern's Hydra-Enzyme Mask 
Since I discovered the mask a few months ago, it has steadily taken over as my favorite. I use it 2-3 times each week after cleansing and leave it on for up to 30 minutes. A few hours after using it, I am always pleasantly surprised by how bright and smooth my skin looks.


Luzern's Micro-Exfoliant is gentle enough to use every day, which I have been doing each morning. The bottle size meant I didn't bring it on a recent trip and since resuming the daily scrub, my skin feels better and is noticeably brighter. 

I have Ayla, a fantastic curated skincare online store with a charming micro shop in San Francisco, to thank for the introduction to Luzern. Ayla has an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff, who have led me to several new products that I love. They also offer sizeable samples of all products.
