Antipodes week: Buzz buzz...a sweet treat for your cheeks

Whinge whinge, moan moan...it’s hard to keep skin happy and hydrated in winter (gosh I can’t wait ‘til we can turn the heating off in the office!) My skin is in a perpetual state of dry and dull, which doesn’t look or feel very nice. I have been using the Aura Manuka Honey Mask two or three times a week and it has made a huge difference.

It’s the easiest mask in the world to use:

1. wash your face as you normally would before bed
2. squeeze some mask out of the tube and onto your face
3. enjoy the faint smell of honey; resist the urge to lick your face
4. read a magazine for 10 minutes
5. wash the excess off with warm water
6. apply your night cream
7. crawl into bed knowing your skin loves you.

I occasionally substitute a book for a magazine in step 4, but essentially the routine is the same.

My skin? Feels softer and more hydrated. It’s not some sort of miracle cure, but it’s definitely a little luxury to do a simple mask a few times a week.
