Bento Spa: Oxygenate, Hydrate & Rejuvenate with Water, Sea Minerals & an Aqua Mask

H2O Plus Aqua Mask
One of the many luxuries I’m glad I own is the H2O Plus Aqua Mask. As much as I love the idea of spending loads of time in the spa, I simply don’t have the time or the money to do it as frequently as I can. I’ve found this mask useful esp on sick days, like a couple of days ago when the extreme humid heat caused a major migraine. It helped me sleep cuz, yea, it my head was throbbing so hard I found it difficult to sleep. Anyway, the mask can also help relieve the following symptoms: tired eyes, puffiness, eye strain and eye irritation. This gel-filled vinyl mask with Velcro enclosure also alleviates muscle tension, allergy discomfort, nasal congestion and sinus pressure. It can be used hot or cold, though, I like using it cold.

To continue the spa daydream, I’ve found a few more items to maximise the experience and help you do it at home.

H2O Plus Oasis24® Hydrating Booster

This hydrating skin saver amplifies the performance of any moisturizer by effectively priming the skin for maximum moisture absorption while preserving skin’s natural moisture barrier and smoothing fine lines. Our exclusive Sea Mineral Complex ® and phospholipids deliver Omegaplankton and hydrating marine extracts of wakame, sea fennel and sea lettuce to deliver moisture retention for up to 24 hours.

Boosters are good. Esp for skins like mine that usually exposed to makeup, impurities caused by the mixture of dirt and perspiration, late nights and a bad habit. My skin is grossly dehydrated but thankfully not that dry yet. Moisture supplements that are oil-free are great skin care options.

H2O Plus Night Oasis® Oxygenating Rejuvenator

Not only does it accelerate cellular respiration by eliminating impurities that slow down cell metabolism, but it also improves moisture retention, reduces signs of aging and repairs free radical damage. By stimulating the protective barrier, it amplifies hydration production. Crithmum Maritumum, a marine botanical, supplies oxygen rich nourishment to refresh tired, dull complexions.

I have to admit that it’s only during at night or when it’s time to sleep do I find find time to unwind a bit and relax. This oxygenating rejuvenator will help in repair and revitalise my tired and somewhat abused skin. I admit I have a bad habit — smoking — that abuses my skin’s health. I know I can’t rely on products like this to alleviate the state even when it can, it’s just a patch up solution. However, for now, it will help until I fully drop the nasty habit. Best bit, it’s oil-free, too.

H2O Plus Face Oasis® Hydrating Treatment

A penetrating liposome delivery system and Sea Mineral Complex® help attract, transport and distribute moisture equivalent to eight glasses of water. Marine extracts of wakame, sea lettuce, and sea fennel, provide vitamins A, C, E and Provitamin B nourish and protect the skin.

Water is one important ingredient in keeping the skin looking healthy. I’m guilty of consuming less than 8 glasses each day (much to teh boyfriend’s dismay) but I am trying. Though, this moisture-intensive gel will aid in hydrating my parched skin and it doesn’t hurt one bit that it says it will help in firming and diminishing fine lines — a sign of aging. Gah.

Quick Tip: After cleansing, massage gently into damp face and neck. For dryer skin, spread a thin layer over face, like a mask, and allow 5 minutes to absorb. Massage in excess.

I’m sure you saw the bottomline, yeah? What I’m simply pointing out is the importance of moisture, hydration and oxygenation for the skin.
