The Body Shop in Sri Lanka added five expert facial masks to its range, promising skin that glows from within. Bursting to the brim with natural ingredients, these face masks are made with 100% vegetarian superfoods and have been specially formulated by experts for the unique needs of every skin type. Packed, crushed and drizzled with natural ingredients, each one has been expertly formulated with individual skin’s needs in mind.

Beauty superfoods Himalayan Charcoal, British Rose, Amazonian Acai, Chinese Ginseng and Ethiopian Honey are the starring ingredients in the recipes inspired by traditional beauty remedies from around the world. Three face masks – Himalayan Charcoal, British Rose and Amazonian Acai – are 100% vegan while the other two-Ethiopian Honey and Chinese Ginseng - are 100% vegetarian. They’ve also been formulated without harmful parabens, silicone, mineral oils and paraffin in keeping with The Body Shop promise of beauty products that are good for your body, soul and the planet.

“Superfoods are on everybody’s lips right now,” shared The Body Shop’s Facialist and Body Care expert Vanda Serrador. “As part of your diet they bring immense health benefits. We’ve utilised our expert skills to formulate these superfoods as facial masks that you can use anywhere, anytime for skin that looks and feels amazing.”

Take for example the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, formulated for skin that needs to release impurities and toxins to help reveal a healthy, youthful glow. The beauty mask is driven by Bamboo charcoal from the Himalayan foothills, energised by green tea leaves from Japan and mellowed by Community Trade organic tea tree oil from Kenya.

The British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask is for skin that needs to be quenched and re-plumped with moisture for a dewy glow. Inspired by ancient European bathing rituals, this refreshing gel mask is infused with real rose petals and the essence of hand-picked roses from Britain, Rosehip oil from Chile and Community Trade Aloe Vera from Mexico. The Amazonian Acai Energising Radiance Mask is for skin that needs a quick recharge from signs of fatigue and stress. This juicy, fresh mask draws from Amazonian tribal beauty rituals utilising Acai berry and Guarana seed extract and Community Trade organic babassu oil from Brazil.

Then there’s the Ethiopian Honey Deep Nourishing Mask for skin that needs an intense dose of replenishment on a deadline. This face mask inspired by African healing and soothing rituals is fortified by Community Trade honey from Ethiopia, Community Trade marula oil from Namibia, and Community Trade organic olive oil from Italy for skin that feels deeply nourished, replenished, supple and rested instantly. The Chinese Ginseng and Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask is for skin that feels dull and uneven-Ginseng and rice extract from China and Community Trade organic sesame seed oil will add a bounce to your skin’s step, making it look brighter and velvety smooth.
