As one of our iconic brands, as featured in our incredible 10 Year Anniversary ICONS box, STARSKIN is the face mask authority you should be welcoming into your skincare routine. When we were first introduced to the brand, it was quite literally love at first mask. Bringing the best of K-beauty and Hollywood to the UK, STARSKIN reveals the secrets behind the treatment of dermatologists, aestheticians, and makeup artists-to-the-stars and introduces them to us via many of their innovative formulations. We’ve all wondered what the secret is behind the skin of Hollywood’s most elite, so we were honoured to catch up with STARSKIN co-founder Nicole Arnoldussen, who reveals all you need to know about luxe masking.
Oily/combination/acne prone skin: If your skin is oily and prone to breakouts, a skincare regime using the right products can work wonders to balance, purify, soothe, refine and control your skin.
AHAs - Regular exfoliation is key! Having said this, it’s also important to choose the right exfoliators that will not aggravate acne-prone skin. Glowstar™ Foaming Peeling Puff is a patented peeling and exfoliating puff that removes pore-clogging dead skin cells. A blend of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids, and Carrot and Broccoli extracts create a rich lather that effectively and safely slough away dead skin, purify the skin, boost radiance and improve overall tone and texture.
Vitamin C - One of the best skincare superfoods, Vitamin C is also one of the best ingredients to fight acne and blitz blemishes, calm and soothe irritated skin, and improve the appearance of acne scars. It helps to rejuvenate the skin by encouraging collagen and elastin production to promote skin repair and renewal. Our JuiceLab® Power C+ Booster Masks are embedded with pure 75% Vitamin C crystals that have been flash freeze-dried to maintain its original strength until ready for use. Plus, this is 5X more concentrated than most Vitamin C products on the market!
Coconut - Coconut is a key ingredient in our Bio-Cellulose face masks – which has a cooling and skin-soothing texture. Coconut also has potent anti-inflammatory and calming properties. Behind The Scenes™ has a non-water based serum that combines Gentian Root and our Meteobrite® complex to reveal balanced and soothed skin.
Sensitive Skin: For people with highly sensitive skin, I always recommend to first do a patch test because all-natural ingredients can also cause an allergic reaction. I’m proud to say that all STARSKIN products are non-comedogenic and do not contain harsh chemical preservatives - they are also free from parabens, silicone, mineral oils, sulphates and synthetic dyes, so they are gentle and suitable for most skin types.
