Dingy skin? It’s a thing, at this time of year, as tans (real, fake, incidentally acquired) have properly begun to ebb away. Dead skin cells sit on the surface, giving a dusty effect, while colouration can be patchy. And when we’re feeling a bit flat – which so many of us are – then skin reflects that, too.

What we all need, then, is a good mask. So we’ve a recommendation for you, here, from Alya, an Aussie cult brand available here at Superdrug, whose signatures are pretty pink packaging and Australian botanicals.

Working overnight, and with a truly luscious texture, is Alya Skin Pink Marine Collagen Sleep Mask/£29.95 for 100ml, with a luscious, bouncy, intensely hydrating texture,  powered by marine collagen, strawberry gum and red algae. (NB They promise a ‘non-stick pillow-proof formula’ – first time we’ve seen that claim, which it lives up to.) Skin is brighter and plumper by morning, dewy and fresh-looking.  

And just like that, it’s ‘bye, bye, dinge…’
