Multimasking with Caudalie Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel & Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

Combining face masks for a custom, at-home facial experience has been a popular skincare trend for a while now. The idea of this method, also known as multimasking, is simple: you use a specific formulation on targeted areas of the face for optimal results. Since each product has a particular purpose, such as purifying, hydrating, exfoliating, etc., applying it where it will serve most effective only seems like the logical thing to do. Still, it took me a long time to figure out my skin's exact needs... In today's post I'll talk about two of my favourite products for multimasking.

There are two ways I treat my skin to a little pampering session, usually depending on how much time I have. First of all, I cleanse my skin using a mild cream cleanser. Optionally I'll also use a mechanical exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. Then to let the masks work their magic! Most often I will do two masks in a row covering the entire face, the second being applied right after washing off the first. Other times I'll opt for a targeted application to target specific skin issues, such as clogged pores, dehydration, dullness, etc.



I have an array of facial treatments at home that each promise to tackle different skin concerns. Yet, as for my most-used/most-loved face masks, these two by Caudalie and Antipodes are without a doubt on top of the list. I've been staying true to this combo for over a year now, as they give the best results for my skin type.

Caudalie's Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel Mask was an unexpected skincare discovery, which I picked up in a deal with the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum a couple Christmasses ago. When I first gave Enzymatic Peel a go, I was amazed by its immediate results. While in the first place it is a moisturising mask, the ingredient glycolic acid helps (chemically) exfoliate the skin. Opposed to other exfoliating products I've tried, this mask doesn't cause irritation on my skin whatsoever. I leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off with (luke)warm water and am left with smooth skin and a radiant complexion. I also feel like the Enzymatic Peel mask helps with fading acne scars when used regularly. Winner!

Antipodes' Aura Manuka Honey Mask purifies and hydrates the skin. The manuka honey in this face mask is full of antibacterial qualities and soothes blemishes, while avocado oil, vitamin E and grape extract give the skin a hydration boost. Let me tell you, this is heavy-duty stuff! My skin often tends to feel dry or tight, but has none of those symptoms after I use the Aura Manuka Honey mask. Instead, it feels plump and nourished, plus any blemishes I might have are less red and painful.
