This year winter seem to be longer and colder than usual which is not very helpful for those with dry skin. I have extremely dry skin, which was peeling and flaking, moisturizer alone was just simply not cutting it this year. That’s why I have been in a search for a good hydrating mask.

I came across the “Drink up Intensive” overnight mask by Origins and I absolutely love it! I have been using it as my daily night moisturizer and it’s been amazing. My skin absorbs it right up, I wake up to soft and supple skin.  I am surprised I haven’t tried it before. I do have to say it may be a little greasy for some people, try the ” Drink up 10 minute mask” instead, so you can get the same benefits without it being too oily.

There’s another little trick I do to boost hydration once a week that I will share with you guys. After washing my face I apply this mask as a layer and massage it in  After leaving it on for a few minutes, I take steam by draping a towel over my head on and a pan of warm water. I do this for 3-5 minutes and then just wash off the mask. I follow with rose water spray and a light moisturizer.

Steam helps to increase the blood circulation, gets rid of dead cells and will add a glow to the skin. By adding a hydrating mask, it helps to intensify the hydration process.
