To Rehydrate The Skin

Just like us, our skin also needs a boost of water to stay hydrated and healthy. If the skin is dehydrated it becomes dull and the appearance of fine lines becomes even more prominent. Enriched with natural humectants including Hyaluronic Acid, organic Aloe Vera Gel and Vitamin E, the Forest Essentials Sundari Deep Hydration Ayurvedic Sheet Mask instantly rehydrates and plumps the skin, all while providing radiance. This potent serum infused sheet mask is the perfect choice for men who are always on the go as this Ayurvedic sheet mask shows visible results within 15 minutes of application. Apply it onto a clean face, leave on for 15 minutes, and after removing the sheet mask, massage in the excess serum for optimal results.

To Purify & Exfoliate The Skin

With a variety of face masks for men available to choose from, we recommend making a conscious choice by ensuring that the ingredients do not include harsh chemicals as these can worsen the skin’s texture and moisture balance, and moreover only bestow temporary results on the skin in the short term. May we recommend investing in face masks which are formulated using natural herbs and ingredients, as they do not strip off the skin’s natural oil content, are gentle on the skin, and treat your skin for the long haul. We recommend using the Forest Essentials Ubtans which are blended with sun-dried, hand pounded herbs, fresh fruit, barks and lentils to a finely powdered consistency, and are completely free of SLES/SLS. These traditional cleansers are known to deeply purify the skin while replenishing its moisture balance. When combined with the appropriate mixer, these Ayurvedic cleansers double up as exfoliating face masks as well, that help in stimulating blood circulation and restoring the skin’s natural glow.

To Deep Cleanse The Pores

The skin attracts dirt, grime and harmful pollutants from the air which accumulate on the surface of the skin and damage the skin cells. It is therefore important to deeply purify, cleanse and rejuvenate the skin for healthy looking skin. The Forest Essentials Facial Treatment Masque Sandalwood & Nagkesar is blended with the best masking ingredients for men including Nagkesar and Gotukola, pure Sandalwood and Rosewater, which are traditionally known to deeply nourish the skin and revive the skin cells. We recommend using this Ayurvedic face mask once a week, after gently exfoliating the skin with the Forest Essentials Revitalising Kashmiri Walnut Gel Scrub. Alternatively, at night, you may first massage the skin with the Advanced Soundarya Serum with 24 Karat Gold on a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes. Wipe excess with a hot towel. Apply the Sandalwood & Nagkesar Face Mask and leave for 10 minutes. Emulsify with a little warm water and rinse. Rinse well again with cold water. Apply a little Advanced Sanjeevani Elixir and pat into skin. Finish with a chilled facial spray.

Expert tips: Follow the masking ritual on trimmed beard or clean shaven, as the skin underneath the beard tends to get excessively dry. As far as possible, avoid masking on freshly shaved face to avoid irritation or stinging sensation. Opt for shaving essentials which are blended with natural, soothing ingredients.
