‘Thirsty’ doesn’t even begin to describe skin, right now. The central heating’s been on for a while and it’s been chilly outside (dry air also dehydrates). Open fire or wood burner, in your house, meanwhile? Those also desiccate skin, by creating such a parched environment. So, if skin feels tight and looks pretty flat – well, you’re not alone.

This mask, then, from Evolve Natural Beauty, has really come into its own, easing signs and sensations of dryness in just 10 minutes. Although more is more; we’ve also benefited from allowing Evolve Beauty Intense Hydrating Mask to sink in overnight. There’s nothing visible on the surface, next morning – but skin feels velvety, smooth, soothed…

The mask itself is luscious in texture, pale pink in colour and powered by natural bioactives to quench even the driest skin. A key, new-to-us ingredient is something by the name of ‘Resurrection Plant Molecule’, a particularly powerful hydrator which features alongside our old chum hyaluronic acid. 

For a quick fix or a deeper treat, we’re converts.
