How It Works

Skin dehydration and dryness can be caused by many different things: ageing, cold weather, travelling, hormonal changes, air conditioning, central heating: the list goes on. These changes can result in an increase of TEWL (transepidermal water loss), a process in which water rises to the skin surface and escapes, resulting in low moisture levels within the skin. H.E.O. Mask is designed to tackle the visible signs of dryness and dehydration, whilst supporting the natural skin barrier for improved long-term moisturisation.
  1. Humectants act as moisture magnets, drawing water in to rehydrate, smooth and plump the skin. H.E.O. Mask features humectant heroes multi-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin and Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) that replenish the skin with lost water by creating a reservoir of hydration in the upper layers of the skin.
  2. Glyceryl glucoside helps to stimulate moisture channels to increase water flow throughout the layers of the skin, while blue sea kale supports the natural production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, to help recharge the skin's hydration levels long term.
  3. Emollients squalane, ceramides and linoleic acid (vitamin F) use their skin-identical, oil-loving properties to effortlessly slip into the natural skin barrier, to fill any gaps where moisture can escape whilst deeply nourishing the skin.
  4. Occlusive dimethicone is made up of larger molecules than the other key ingredients, which means it works to form a breathable barrier over the skin surface to lock in the benefits of the humectants and emollients, while physically preventing TEWL.
 

Key Ingredients

Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000x its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the surrounding atmosphere into the skin, leaving the complexion both nourished and supple.
Natural Moisturising Factors
Found naturally in the upper layers of the skin, Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) work to attract and retain water. NMF levels in the skin decline as we age, therefore NMF components, including urea, amino acids and sodium PCA work to restore hydration within the complexion.
Ceramides
Naturally found in the skin barrier, ceramides help to replenish the skin, working to mimic the natural lipid barrier to intensely restore and nourish.
Squalane
An almost skin-identical lipid, squalane helps to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier and deeply moisturises the complexion.
Dimethicone
Made up of large molecules, dimethicone forms a breathable barrier over the skin’s surface which helps to lock in hydration and nourishment for prolonged results.

After cleansing and application of vitamin A, apply H.E.O Mask as the last step your evening routine.Smooth an almond-sized amount of Step 1 of H.E.O. Mask over face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area.Allow to absorb for a few minutes then gently massage another almond-sized amount of Step 2 of H.E.O. Mask into the same areas.Leave on overnight. Use 2-3 times a week or as required.Approximately 50 applications per 2x 50ml tubes.

Ingredient
Glycerin
What It Is

Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.

Glycerin also treats several skin disorders, ranging from dry skin to wound healing. The ingredient has the potential of improving your overall internal health as well.

Due to its versatility and ability to moisturise, it’s used in everything from lotions to soaps to toners.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

Products with glycerin can be used topically multiple times a day. You can safely and effectively use this ingredient in nearly every single step of your skin care routine. Several skin care brands use glycerin when formulating everything from cleansers and toners, to serums and moisturisers.

Benefits
  • Glycerin tightens and firms - Use this ingredient for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you'll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin.
  • It improves your complexion - Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
  • It brightens - Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturise, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous.
  • The ingredient is also a good choice for sensitive skin. Because it’s a natural component of skin, it calms redness and inflammation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
Lactic Acid
What It Is

Lactic acid is a chemical exfoliant that comes from the fermentation of lactose a carbohydrate found in milk. ‌Like glycolic and mandelic acids, this acid belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family. AHAs are water-soluble organic compounds that, in cosmetic formulations, offer unparalleled benefits for the skin.

What It Does

It’s advised that you gradually introduce this exfoliant into your daily routine.

And while most lactic acid products are suggested for use before bed, you should always carefully read the instructions and labels. If you’ve got sensitive or tricky skin, do a patch test with the product before going all the way.

Since AHAs, including lactic acid, work to peel away and soften the top layer of your epidermis, there’s always a risk that your skin can be more exposed to the elements, including the sun.

Therefore, it’s advised that you pair your lactic acid use with a sunscreen or a SPF-containing product.

Benefits

Lactic acid has many known perks. It increases cell turnover and helps eliminate accumulated dead skin cells on the epidermis — the top layer of the skin.

After using lactic acid, you'll notice a brighter and smoother complexion. This AHA exfoliant helps treat moderate to severe hyper-pigmentation. It can fade out age spots and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and highly visible pores. This acid is one of the mildest forms of AHA, so it's safe to use it on sensitive skin in the right concentrations.

 

Peptides
AHAs / BHAs / PHAs
What It Is

The world of acids can be divided into a few categories, three to be precise: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and the underdog, Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). If you're using a skincare acid, it'll fall into one of these three categories.

AHAs

These may ring some bells as you're bound to find an AHA already hiding in your skincare routine. AHAs are chemical exfoliators that can be extremely helpful for oily or blemish-prone skin if used on a regular basis.
The top dogs in this category are Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. You can find them mixed in with serums, moisturisers, cleansers and toners, depending on how high of a dosage you want to use (the smaller the percentage, the less potent the formula).

BHAs

Whilst they are also chemical exfoliators, AHAs and BHAs treat different skin problems.
AHAs are ideal for those concerned with ageing skin, whereas BHAs are best for those who are one the oilier side of the skincare spectrum and struggle with acne, blackheads and milia (the little white bumps you sometimes see under the skin).
Whilst AHAs are only water soluble, BHAs are oil soluble, which is why they are ideal for those struggling with an oil-slick T-zone. They can get below the oil that’s clogging up your skin and also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So they help spots disappear quicker and calm any redness.
The most popular BHA is Salicylic Acid. It can be found in a range of different formulas targeted at spot treatments.

PHAs

The underdog of the acid trilogy, PHAs don't get the praise they deserve.

"PHAs (AKA Polyhydroxy Acids) are very similar to traditional alpha hydroxy acids, because both work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin." Daniel Isaacs, Scientific Director at Medik8

They're especially beneficial for those who find other acids too strong. 'Even very sensitive skin types can harness the resurfacing powers of PHAs,' says Daniel. 'In clinical studies, they have been proven to be compatible with dry, itchy skin conditions such as eczema and atopic rosacea.'
The most common PHA acids are Gluconolactone, Galactose and Lactobionic - bit of a mouthful to say but well worth looking out for the next time you’re in the market for a new chemical exfoliant.

Hyaluronic Acid
What It Is

Hyaluronic-acid a substance that retains moisture and is capable of binding over one thousand times its weight in water. This substance is naturally found in many areas of the human body, including the skin, eyes, and synovial fluid of the joints.

As we age, the production of key substances in the skin, including hyaluronic acid (along with collagen and elastin) decreases. As a result, our skin loses volume, hydration, and plumpness.

The substance works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy.

What It Does

Moisturisers and serums are two of the most common form of hyaluronic acid.

  • Moisturisers. Use a moisturiser infused with hyaluronic acid at the time when you’d usually moisturise. Ideally, this would be 2 times a day and always after cleansing, exfoliating, or applying serums.
  • Serums. A hyaluronic acid serum involves a slightly different routine. After cleansing, use a toner on your skin and press a couple of drops of your serum into your face with the palms of your hands. Don’t forget to apply a moisturiser immediately afterward to seal in all that hydration.

This acid also plays well with most other skin actives, making it easy to pair with peels, retinols, vitamins, and other acids.

Benefits

When used in skincare products, including creams and serums, hyaluronic acid gives your complexion a boost by quickly increasing the skin's moisture level. It’s especially useful for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age lines.
