As we are approaching party time, it’s vital to schedule in some party prep now that will work wonders for the skin and have you looking your best, full of glow and radiance. Check out the award-winning Seoulista Mask range. My favourite is the Hydration Mask, perfect to combat tired skin and a great treat for dull, dry skin. Seoulista’s latest addition to the range is the Gold Glow Instant Facial, infused with active Botanicals and Bulgarian Rose to firm, hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Another new arrival is the Diamond Radiance Instant Facial to exfoliate, brighten and hydrate the complexion for a luminous glow.
