REN Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask

The festive season is over, the alarm is back on and the dread of getting out of bed before lunchtime has become a reality once again as we trudge off back to become desk warriors. I have enjoyed having ten days off work, not doing a lot, barely leaving the house and living in PJ's, so going back to work has come as a slap back into reality.

Meet REN Evercalm Ultra Comfort Rescue Mask it is the new kid on the block and available right now (here). Specifically developed with a REN exclusive complex of original ingredients to combat over-sensitivity.

As a rescue mask, it is designed to calm, soothe and moisturise whilst helping to alleviate the key signs of sensitive skin. REN state it will also increase the skin's ability to cope with stress, aid recovery and strengthen the protective moisture barrier, leading to long term well-being of your skin.

Using four main ingredients, the treatment works to treat the key symptoms of sensitivity which can include redness, irritation, itchiness and dryness. 

  • White Mushroom Extract: Calms and comforts.
  • Yeast Compound: Accelerates recovery after stress with potent antibacterial and antihistamine effects.
  • Arnica: Reduces redness. 
  • Roman Chamomile Scent: Offers a warm, sweet, relaxing, and calming feeling for both body and mind.

This mask should be used up to three times a week or at anytime when you feel your skin is in need of urgent rescue.  Having cleansed your face to remove surface grime and dirt, apple a generous amount, avoiding the eye area and leave on for 10 minutes.  After those 10 minutes, using a damp but warm cloth gently remove any excess and then follow up with your usual skin care routine.  So this mask is a great quick go to rather than something which is laborious. You can use it in a morning or an evening depending upon your preference.

What I love about this mask is how it feels on the skin, it sinks in when you apply it. The cream is thick and luxurious and  the Chamomile scent is there very notably. Given the bottle is pump action you only need two possibly three pumps to have more than enough to cover your entire face 'generously' as advised. Once the excess has been removed there is no greasy residue or tackiness to the skin, what I did find was my skin felt smooth, it felt cooled and it felt moisturised.  Was the redness on my cheeks reduced, yes it was and possibly only I would notice the difference, but to me that is all that counts.

Available now this rescue mask is priced at £28 for 50ml and it is a great product, though I expect nothing less from REN.
