Face masks are one of my secrets for maintaining beautiful skin. They are great for correcting blemishes, evening skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and achieving softer, smoother skin- BUT it is important to remember that all face masks are not created the same.
Each mask is designed to target different skin needs whether it be to firm, tighten, detoxify, exfoliate or to treat acne, dryness, dullness or wrinkles.
The key is to use the RIGHT mask at the right time, for example just before an event you wouldn’t want to use a detoxifying mask and risk a breakout instead opt for a flash mask that will hydrate and plump!
Flash Masks are basically masks that deliver instant results in a short period of time, usually 5-10 minutes, leaving skin looking fresh in a flash.
My top pick for a pre-event flash facial is a brand new product from one of my favorite skincare lines Omorovicza, Gold Hydralifting Mask.
What is It: an anti-aging flash day-mask created specifically for tired, dry skin in need of an instant lift and long term strengthening.
What Does it Do: Lifts, blurs and hydrate. This no-rinse rose scented mask lifts, perfects, smooths and hydrates skin in just 10 minutes. The formula absorbs almost instantly to flash-boost your complexion. Great for all skin types – including delicate flowers – this potent treatment delivers immediate lifting and firming benefit thanks to wheat polysaccharides, while bio-polymers successfully blur imperfections to leave skin beautifully smooth and velvety.
How to use It: Apply a generous thick layer on cleansed face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes, then blot off excess with a tissue. No need to rinse- if you are like me and in a dry climate after 10 minuted there won’t be any excess to blot off!
Why I Love It: It is the perfect pick-me-up for dry tired skin. In just a few minutes it left my skin plump, soft, glowing and refreshed. The price tag it a bit expensive but the results make every dollar worth it. My biggest problem is restraining myself from using it everyday because it’s so fantastic!
Where to Buy It: Neiman Marcus and NeimanMarcus.com

Oh I Iove this post, have been thinking about a new amazing mask to buy. Thanks!
It is always hard to find the right mask. This is great! Thanks for posting about it. I can’t wait to try it out.
Hello, I’ve been very frightened to try this mask, because I have combination skin, the T spot is very bad and acne prone. Would you recommend I only use it on the dry spots, or is it safe to use all over the face, since it has the gold for anti-inflammation?
This mask is very gentle. You shouldn’t have any problems but you can spot try it. Stop by your local Omorovicza counter- if you are Las Vegas see Illona at Neiman Marcus.Start with a sample to try at home before investing in the full size product.
