Baobab - tree ingredient to help provide moist skin.

Lime - ingredient to help provide vitality to skin.

Honey - ingredient to help provide nutrition to skin.

Broccoli - for sleek skin without flaw.

Sea Buckthorn - for bright skin without darkness.

Olive - for strong skin with healthy radiance

I have tried out Rose, Honey, Olive and now, Broccoli. Containing 6000ppm Broccoli extract, A'Pieu My Skin-Fit Sheet Mask ( Broccoli ) is said to improve the skin condition from the environmental aggressors. The scent reminds me of slathering my face with vegetables and its so funny!

I like the thin and sheer material which makes adhering to skin pretty snug and fit although the cutting in this series of sheet mask is not an exact fit to my face shape. The nose flap is slightly shorter while the large cutout eye area meant that my undereye area is not covered and the mask sheet for the upper lip area is narrower.

The masking experience has been good. Cooling and refreshing, the 20 minute mask treatment left my skin visibly brighter and clearer. Great to be used if you have an event coming up and you don't want to appear tired and haggard.  

Check out my reviews for Rose, Honey and Olive.

Thin and sheer, the mask sheet adheres to skin pretty well, except with a shorter nose flap, larger eye cut-out area and a gap between the nose and cheek. The fragrance smells good too.

After a 20 minute mask treatment, my skin was calmer, looked less red and more rested. A value for money decent mask for daily maintenance.

Cindy Crawford’s Best Beauty Secrets at 50

At 51, Cindy Crawford still looks so good. So whats her tip?

1) She keeps her complexion fresh by spraying her face with a mist of whole milk and mineral water. This creates a dewy, fresh-faced effect that lasts all day long!

2) "You can get any plastic surgery in the world, but hair color is what enables women to look younger longer. I've also become more aware of hair health...I give myself a hair treatment when I'm in my sauna to keep it conditioned."

I’m a huge fan of double-duty beauty—because good things take time, and none of us have enough of it! I try to include beauty treatments into my workouts. For instance, since I know I’ll be washing my hair right after I exercise, I put a pre-wash conditioner in my hair—especially on my ends. A greasy ponytail during a workout never hurt anyone. 

3) Working out, getting enough sleep, not smoking—all of these things are cumulative. You may not see those results in a week or even a month, but in a year, and with consistency, you will. It’s about maintenance. 

4) Wear Sunscreen everyday.

5) Over 20 years ago, I saw a woman doing exercises for her neck. She explained that if you keep those muscles toned, it helps preserve the line of your jaw. You can do these exercises anywhere, but I usually do them as part of my workout. They’re simple to do—just lay flat on your back with your chin pointed up, and lift your whole head about an inch off the ground. Without putting your head back down on the floor, bring your chin to your chest. I do three sets of 10 repetitions, but you can build up to that! I alternate the chin-to-chest one with a side-to-side movement. Start the same way—flat on your back with your head lifted one inch off the ground. Without putting your head back down on floor, turn your head to the right, back to the center, and then to the left. I also do three sets of 10 of these.

6) I love using a dry brush before I bathe or shower. On dry skin, I use the brush all over my body, always brushing toward my heart. Not only do you brush off dead skin, you invigorate your body, stimulate your lymphatic system, reduce cellulite, and decongest your skin.
