When an invite to the Colbert MD Illumino Mask launch arrived via Instagram a couple of weeks ago, I blinked a few times to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Immediately, I thought, where do I sign? Truly impressed by the luminizing magic of Dr David Colbert’s Tone Control Facial Discs and a fan of both Illumino Oil formulas, I actually wondered why his remarkable skincare range did not include a face mask. Guest what? Some of the best things in life really are worth waiting for.
Known to work magic during his transformative facials, Dr Colbert developed a product line for at-home treatment to achieve and maintain the very best skin possible. Perfectly timed, the new Illumino Anti-Aging Brightening Mask is a multi-tasking express solution that will keep you looking rested, radiant, and alert this holiday season. Fingers crossed, it is also helping me pull off the ‘happy to be here’ look. Yay.
Driven by the brand’s patented QuSome® technology, each Colbert MD formula ensures that active ingredients penetrate deep within the skin, utilizing a time released delivery system. What this really means is that you get optimal results with absolutely no irritation. Having gotten the scoop from Dr Colbert himself, the new Illumino Mask is your quick fix with long term benefits to brighten and firm complexions in need of a boost. In other words: you want to try it.
On-trend and user friendly, the Illumino newness is a bio-cellulose sheet mask made from the highest quality coconut fiber. A travel essential by default, this portable sachet is a must after a flight or before a special event as its intensely hydrating properties plump and smooth out dull, dehydrated skin in only fifteen minutes. The single use treatment is hugged by a sheet of paper and mesh. Peel the paper part off first, apply the mask to cleansed skin, and gently remove the mesh layer. With a ‘second skin’ effect, it feels cooling, soothing, and comfortable. One word of caution: you may also look like Buffalo Bill. Or Hannibal Lecter.
Because the fibrous texture holds and consequently transfers ingredients into the skin, you will notice the mask transition from wet to damp to barely moist as you wear it. While the directions suggest fifteen minutes, treat yourself to double that or more, if possible. Lay low and relax, watch an episode of Ladies of London, and after discarding the mask, pat the remaining liquid in prior to applying your moisturizer. Flexible enough to be used day or night and up to twice a week, this unique formula is fueled by skin brightening Niacinamide, cell regenerating Swiftlet Nest Extract, gently exfoliating Lactic Acid, moisture locking Hyaluronic Acid, and redness reducing Symcalmin®.
Focused on luxury, innovation, and efficacy, the Colbert MD Illumino Mask is a spa experience that delivers clinical results. While I may be partial to words like ‘dermatologist’ or ‘Fifth Avenue’ (especially if used in the same sentence), after two treatments in the same week, glow is the only shade I’m throwing.
$110 (5 masks) available at colbertmd.com, SpaceNK.com and barneys.com.
I really want to try Colbert MD. This reminds me of the La Mer brightening mask I reviewed a while go. 🙂
