A super-gentle exfoliating mask

I’m a big proponent of the “If it hurts, it works” beauty philosophy, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not always necessary to take such as aggressive approach. Case in point: Patchology’s Milk Peel 5 Minute Flashmasque.

Featuring lactic acid, a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates without irritation, this sheet mask is fast, easy to use and effective. All you have to do is unfold it, slap it on, sit back and relax for five minutes to get smooth, soft, glowing skin. It is also formulated with hydrating soy and coconut milks to plump up those fine lines—and since there’s no chance you’ll be left seeing red, it’s ideal for a brightening boost anytime, even right before going out! And if you happen to be staying in, it’s easy to incorporate into any DIY spa night. I particularly like doing this mask on a Sunday night so I can start the week with extra-radiant skin…
