Unmasked . . . it’s Trinny’s secret to turning back time
AS SOMETHING of a fashion guru, you might have thought Trinny Woodall would steer clear of wearing rubber – or, for that matter, masks.
But that’s just what the 53-year-old has recommended to her 300,000 followers online, with a beauty mask from South Korea.
The television presenter credited the rubber mask with boosting the skin’s hydration and tightening its appearance.
While the £10 masks have been popular in East Asia for 18 months, they have only recently been brought to the UK. The Dr Jart masks, which are available in highend stores including Selfridges and Harrods, are far more expensive than other one-use face masks, which Boots sell for between £1 and £2.
Mother-of-two Miss Woodall left on a mask for 40 minutes then posted a video on social media site Instagram. She told her followers: ‘You all know how much I love a mask. I tried this one after being given the blue one from a friend who had been to Korea, and I saw they had this – it is [called] the Firm Lover.
‘So, after rubbing on the last of the product, let’s see what I think of my face now… does it feel firm?
‘It feels like I can’t bloody move it but that’s no different from normal. Anyway, that’s it: A good mask. Will see how it feels later.’
Before the mask is put on, a serum containing powerful antioxidants lipophilic and hydrophilic is rubbed into the face.
Then the algae-based rubber mask – rich in vitamin C and minerals – wraps around the skin, with the rubber sealing in moisture. It is said to make fine lines and pores less visible, while the skin looks more supple and dewy.
In a caption with her video, Miss Woodall wrote: ‘If you have money to burn consider the new rubber masks from Korea.
‘My skin does feel very good – perhaps worth having for that very special occasion.’
