THE BENEFITS OF MULTI-MASKING WITH L’OCCITANE

L'Occitane peony mask

MULTI-MASKING WITH L'OCCITANE peony mask

I’ve been on seven flights in the past four weeks and my skin is feeling it right now!  Once I had a chance to touch down at home and have a day to myself–I decided it was time for some relaxation and a bit of pampering for my skin.

I just got back from a video shoot in Los Angeles and the makeup artist I was working with (she’s amazing, currently working on Shonda Rhimes shows!) commented on how my skin was a combination of dry and oily.  I always knew I had combination skin but I think my exposure to dry airplane air has put my skin into overdrive lately.  During the shoot she was applying moisturizing products to my dry spots and oil fighting products in different areas to keep my skin balanced and she got me thinking I was due for some multi-masking to help rebalance my skin.

I especially like mini or travel size products because as a beauty blogger I’m constantly trying new things, handing out samples to friends, etc so I like to have smaller versions of products to tote along in my carry on.  I gave the new L’Occitane Peony Mask Collection a try my for seriously needy skin and loved this ritual to bring my skin back.

I practice multi-masking at home but I don’t believe I’ve ever covered it on my blog before.  Multi-masking is using various types of face masks based on the different needs of our different parts of our face.  I generally have larger pores and oil congestion on my nose and cheeks, dryness on my hairline and perimeter of my face, and everywhere else just need a good dose of hydration.

L’OCCITANE PEONY FLASK MOISTURE MASK

I started with the L’Occitane Peony Flask Moisture Mask (these all smell amazing BTW…who doesn’t love the scent of peonies?!) and used a fan brush to apply it to my jaw line and neck for intense moisture that I could instantly feel absorbing into my skin.  I think my jaw line needs extra moisture because I can subconsciously rest my chin on my hand when I’m sitting at my laptop for hours on end.  The mask texture is creamy and rich and I love the velvety texture it instantly gives my skin.  These types of plumping and hydrating masks are my new favorites!

L’OCCITANE PEONY OVERNIGHT PERFECTING MASK

For my next step I grabbed another brush (my favorite way to apply masks, it makes me feel like I’m at a spa!) and opened up the L’Occitane Peony Overnight Perfecting Mask.  This mask is perfect for applying right before bedtime and letting it absorb into your skin overnight while your skin is most receptive to skincare and self-repair.  I knew I wanted to try this overnight mask on my forehead and hairline to help counteract my dryness.  The texture is gel-like and hydrating but not oily–so I could get it into my hairline without making my hair greasy, perfect for overnight wear and you can touch up your hair with dry shampoo in the morning.

L’OCCITANE PEONY PURIFYING MINUTE MASK

And the last mask I applied you only need to wear for three minutes–I’m going to be saving this one especially for spot treatments when I need to de-slick my skin before makeup application!  The L’Occitane Purifying Minute Mask specifically targets the oil shine and larger pores I have on my nose and cheeks to absorb and eliminate impurities.  As the mask dries, pores appear smaller (perfect for the perfect no-makeup day) and a more matte appearance.  I even had Matt asking to use the remaining purifying mask on his nose and cheeks too!

Once I had all of my masks applied, I popped a bottle of sparkling water, turned on a relaxing playlist and caught up on a few pages of a new book that I’m trying out.

L’OCCITANE PEONY PETAL CLEANSING OIL

Once I’m ready to remove my masks, I used the L’Occitane Peony Petal Cleansing Oil to remove the masks and also cleanse my skin for one final smoothing and glowing wash of peony.  I love the dried peony petals in the bottle–the flowers are from Provence!

Have you tried multi-masking? I’d love to hear about your experience trying different masks in different areas for your perfectly custom results!

    L’Occitane is one of my favorite brands and I haven’t tried the mask yet. I’ve been traveling so much that I feel like I can use some pampering.

    I have never tried multi-maski, but it makes sense. Different parts of your face need different kinds of attention.

#ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down th #ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down their kitchen?!? 😅 I might as well keep a cleaner in my hand at all times since cleaning up after my toddler and baby is a full-time job! I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.

I was so nervous packing  for two kids on this trip (6 suitcases later…) so I leaned in on @walmart to help me out by ordering our baby essentials to the house in advance. We arrived to our stock of diapers, pull ups, wipes, formula, apple sauce pouches, etc…everything we needed! I also ordered the boys some cute outfits, OBSESSED with these hoodie sets and love the colors, and my maxi dress too!

Amazon Subscribe and Save is my best bud for ordering our essentials to the house and we just swapped our laundry detergent to @botanicalorigin. This stuff smells so fresh, (I order the orange blossom & citrus leaves scent) but the best part about it is it removes tough the toughest stains like: wine 🍷, spaghetti sauce 🍝 (my stain nemesis!!!), chocolate 🍫, mustard 🌭, makeup foundation 💋(OMG!!!!!!), ink 🖊, oil and bacon grease 🥓… basically everything that ruins our family’s clothes. It’s plant based (67% USDA Biobased), for sensitive skin and is also aesthetically pleasing 🥰 , which is perfect as I’m trying to make this corner of our garage more organized. Peep my stories to see more about our new laundry detergent but also the rest of the garage 😂😬🤪 #BotanicalOriginPartner #ElevateYourClean  @botanicalorigin

It’s been a total labor of love and that includes finding last minutes deals online for things that are backordered, not arriving in time, or that just didn’t work out! Thankfully I’m shopping the @retailmenot Daylight Savings event (now through 3/20) to save extra on my purchases from favorite retailers like @homedepot and @michaelscraftstore! Swipe through the carousel to see some of our progress this weekend including our @samsung appliances we saved 10% on! 👉🏻🌊☀️ad
