[Review] Antipodes® Halo Skin-Brightening Facial Mud Mask

We have not been to New Zealand but we all know that it is a beautiful country with stunning and diverse natural beauty. New Zealand is also famous with the production of natural, organic skincare. One of the brand that we like is Antipodes, it is a Scientifically Validated Organic Beauty™ brand pioneering a new niche in skincare globally: certified organic and premium natural products with skin performance proven by science. Featuring revolutionary Vinanza antioxidants from New Zealand grown superfruit, nutrient-rich avocado oil, and anti-blemish manuka honey.

Antipodes® uses white volcanic mud sourced from central New Zealand’s dramatic central plateau in its new Halo Skin-Brightening Facial Mud Mask to help provide a high-performance detox for a luminous complexion. Blessed with minerals including sulphur, calcium, silicon and sodium, the mud binds to the skin’s oils and absorbs them, helping to carry away dirt and residue once rinsed off. It is completely free of beeswax and honey to ensure Halo’s certified vegan status, other key ingredients in its bioactive formulation include skin-brightening compounds to achieve your lightest, brightest skin quickly and effectively.

To achieve the best results, lavish a thick layer of this creamy mask over your cleansed face and neck, avoiding your eye area. Leave for 15 minutes, then rinse away thoroughly with warm water. Use twice a week religiously.

We like that Antipodes® Halo Skin-Brightening Facial Mud Mask is divinely scented with a pure plant fragrance of vanilla pod, raspberry seed and musk. It is an effective way to instantly freshen and illuminate your visage, just very relaxing and soothing. The mud mask is greenish in color and quite thick in consistency. It has an initial warming effect, but the warm disappear within minutes. It dries up quite fast (depending on the thickness of mask you put on), my skin started to feel tight after a few minutes. 15 minutes later, we washed off the mask with lukewarm water. I notice my pimple is gone, my pores are clean, my skin tone is more even and my skin is soft like a baby skin! Wow! This is really a great mask for me as it draws out impurities from skin and pops pimples too! I also noticed that my skin is lifted after the mask.

Then, I follow with the application of toner, serum and moisturiser after the mask. I noticed that my skin is glowing the next day and my makeup stays longer on my skin too.
