Hydrating Treatment Mask

SKIN RECOVERY Hydrating Treatment Mask pairs some of the richest emollients with plant- and vitamin-based antioxidants to meet the thirsty needs of dehydrated, rough-textured, patchy skin. This exquisite moisturizing mask is like a big drink of water for skin, so you wake up with a renewed, younger-looking complexion.

Provides an outstanding combination of rich plant oils and essential lipids that dry, thirsty skin needs to replenish itself. Plant- and vitamin-based antioxidants visibly calm redness and signs of dehydration that can make skin look dull and uneven. The creamy formula instantly restores a look of radiance and banishes signs of dryness. Formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive skin, including skin prone to eczema.

Use on clean skin. Apply a generous layer all over the face and neck (if needed). Leave on for at least 20 minutes, or, if needed, overnight. Rinse thoroughly with tepid-to-warm water. May be used as often as needed.
