Can you believe it’s September already? The weather is still warm outside, your flip-flops remain on your feet and you’re meeting your buddies for a beer on a pub’s patio after work. In fact, if your face didn’t look so red, dull, flaky, tight and well, weatherworn, you’d still think it was the beginning of summer not the end.
You’ve got summer skin—dehydrated from the sunshine and excessive sweating, irritated from salt and chlorine water, and tight, scaly and possibly even spotted courtesy of too many nachos and pints. But you’re not alone, most men experience this to one degree or another and it’s predominantly reversible (because we know you layered on the SPF all season long), with the right skin care products like Rodan + Fields SOOTHE Rescue Mask.
Replete with moisture-attracting glycerine to draw water into your skin and keep it there, along with ultra calming calamine to neutralize and relieve your irritated skin, this green-coloured face mask will soothe and soften your dermis. Additional benefits include reduced redness, blackheads and pimples and an increased smooth, plump and even-looking texture. Plus, it’s safe for all skin types, even if you have super sensitive skin. All you have to do is cleanse your face and then swipe a thick layer of the mask all over and leave it there for ten minutes before washing it off. The mask is best applied before bed to also eliminate the day’s gunk and grime, along with your summer conundrums.
You’ll see what we mean in morning when you next look at yourself in the mirror, because the only remnant of summer you’ll see is the smile on your face.
