Thalgo Ultra Hydra-Marine Mask

A highlight of any facial, for us, is having a mask brushed soothingly onto skin by the therapist. At home, by contrast, we sort of smear and smoosh the product on with fingers and hope to have the whole fizzog covered.

So we’re just thrilled to discover this – which not only gives skin a massive surge of moisture and skin-energising marine elements (an ingredient glorying in the name of ‘sève blue des oceans’, together with two types of hyaluronic acid – ideal for quenching sun-parched skins, NB) – but it’s dispensed via… yes, a deliciously soft brush!

Not only does this ensure you access every nook and complexion cranny, but that stroking action ramps up the TLC factor no end. If there was a mask equivalent of a Linus blanket, Ultra Hydra-Marine Mask is it.
