Face Oils


Aside from a sealant, look for an oil that meets your specific skin concerns. This is kind of the 'Should I brush my teeth before bed?' of skincare.  It’s definitely better if you do but...it’s not the world if you don’t.


Our recs:


  • Savey option with lots of benefits and good for clogged pores and acne prone skin


  • Zoe Foster-Blake’s best-selling cult hero.


Face Masks


Confession: I am a bit of a masking freak – I think they work wonders in between your daily routine. Here are a few of my go-to’s:

  • These are those mud/gel masks

  • You paint them on, wear for 10 mins until dry and wash off

  • They have absolutely transformed my skin!

There are a few colours that do diff things, my faves are:

  • Blue – has hyaluronic acid and is hydrating

  • Pink – really good for pigmentation

  • Yellow – great for brightening

  • This is the brand I used to work on, but I use them because they are still the best. I recommend:

For Face:

  • Charcoal Peel Off Mask (to purify)

  • Any of the hydrogel masks (but particularly the 24K gold and retinol)

  • Brightening sheet mask

  • Hyaluronic boost foil mask


For Eyes:

(I wear these the day of an event while I’m getting ready to look super fresh)

  • Fast Fix 5 Minute Under Eye Mask

  • Collagen Hydrogel Under Eye Patch

  • Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patch

If you don’t buy these, try to get anything from Korea, basically the forefront of skincare technology.


  • You can actually use this two ways, either sleep with it on overnight and wash off in the morning, or you can wear for 10 mins and wash off

  • This is how Mecca describes it:  A skin-smoothing, glow-boosting treatment infused with watermelon, AHA's and Hyaluronic acid that gently exfoliates and refines pores, in a super versatile formula that can be used as an overnight or wash-off mask.


And don't forget:


Spot Treatments

This is where you pop on your Clearasil spot treatment. I mean, it's not your first rodeo.
