DETOX SKINCARE TRIED AND TESTED

January 5, 2019

January. The struggle is real. We know, you've heard it all before — detox this, cleanse that — but if there was ever a moment when it really counted (as the realities of winter kick in, and perhaps, the effects of post-holidays life take a toll), that moment is now.

So, we’ve put George Nikolaou, our Culture Marketing Executive, on the case to test out some of the best detox skincare 2019 has to offer. From charcoal eye masks to energizing, anti-fatigue cleansers, we've tried out everything you need to start January off right.

MasqueBAR Charcoal Hydro Gel Eye Patch | ASOS Style Feed

"I was dubious about wearing MasqueBAR’s hydro eye patches for a whole 20 minutes, but it ended up being worth the wait. Let’s just say I found this one a savior when I'd been out the night before, since the combination of charcoal powder and coconut extract rehydrated my skin, while the gel-like eye patches were really cooling on my face too."

Lab Series Oil Control Clay Cleanser and Mask | ASOS Style Feed

"Anything 2-in-1 always gets a thumbs up from me, so I was excited to try Lab Series’ hybrid cleanser and mask. The multitasking clay has a really thick, rich texture and, when I removed it with water after just five minutes, I could see a clear difference in my skin: deeply cleansed, purified and any excess oil had been removed."

31st State Foaming Face Wash | ASOS Style Feed

"31st State’s foaming wash has won me over this winter. Fuss-free and easy to use, I just splashed it onto my face with water — the foam then lathers up really quickly and can be washed off as normal after a couple of minutes. It contains both soothing manuka and tea tree (to help reduce redness), which left my skin feeling energized but without any irritation."

Clinique For Men Super Energize AntiFatigue Exfoliating Powder Cleanser |ASOS Style Feed

"Clinique For Men’s energizing cleanser was a serious game changer: I added a small amount to my palm and mixed with water before massaging it onto my face. As it acts more like an exfoliator than a cleanser, it really unclogged my pores and removed impurities, even after the first use. I feel revived and awake, which, for the first week of January, is really saying something."

Clinique For Men Anti-Fatigue Exfoliating Powder Cleanser, $36

"This is easily one of the best face masks I've ever tried, though initially, slathering a black liquid all over my face did come as a shock. It goes on really smoothly and since the cooling black gel isn’t too thick, it’s easy to peel off. Once removed, I noticed my skin looked a lot clearer (the active charcoal helps to exfoliate dead skin cells) and felt really clean."
