• Oatmeal extract is a finely milled form of this beneficial cereal. It is rich in anti-inflammatory beta-glucans, skin-nourishing lipids, and moisturizing carbohydrates. Hence, a true staple for dry, irritated, inflamed, or eczema-prone skin;
• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative. This means it maintains the stability of the formula while imparting the benefits of the component. Hence, it offers antioxidant protection from both UVB and UVA rays, increases collagen synthesis and it has a skin brightening effect by reducing melanogenesis (the multiplication of damaged skin cells) by more than 80%;
• Zinc Oxide is a very popular skin soothing component. Besides physical sunscreens and diaper rash barrier creams, it enrolls the ingredients of masks like this one due to its ability to minimize irritation and redness;
• Glycerin is a humectant that also happens to be present in the human body and keeps the lipids between our skin cells in a healthy state. Thus, it protects against irritation and keeps our natural barrier in its best condition at all times.

With a cleansed and dry skin, apply an adequate amount of Mario Badescu Brightening Mask with Vitamin C for covering the whole face. Avoid the periocular area. Let the product sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry. If it accidentally gets in the eye area, make sure to remove it immediately with abundant water. For optimal results, liberally spray the face before and after applying the mask with your Mario Badescu facial mist of choice to help soften the mask and ease the removal process.
