Happy Halloween, my interwebs friends!

What are we dressing as? Yours truly was going to go as a dead cheerleader (I have a skirt from years ago that I revive every once in a while when I don’t feel like coming up with a new costume) but this flash blizzard has me changing my tune, sadly. But for all of you who are going out, I want to share a little post-All Hallow’s Eve skin care tip. Slathering a ton of pore-clogging face paint onto your mug is the textbook definition of festivity, but it wreaks crazy damage to your visage if you don’t remove it properly and give your pores a little purging once the makeup is off. Whether your painting your entire face like the nefarious Cobra Kai did in Karate Kid or just putting on a little more makeup than usual, I recommend a little sesh with Repechage Hydra Medic Sea Mud Mask ($29). Read on…

It contains Ichthammol, a mineral derived mixture mined from the Tyrolean Alps in Central Europe. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. I’ve used it straight up to coax out blisters from skin that were deeply impacted, so you can imagine its utility in a skin care capacity. Here, it absorbs excess sebum and help cleanse the skin from bacteria. Eucalyptus Oil heals and boasts antiseptic qualities. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes to absorb impurities, reduce oiliness and help shrink pores and get back to living your lifestyle. It is truly the crane technique of skin care–you bust it out only when you need to bust out the big guns and it delivers as the technique did for Daniel-san Larusso.
