Beauty Must-Have: Kiehl’s Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque

I’ll admit it: I love visiting Hong Kong. Whether it’s for the endless shopping or mouth-watering gastronomic choices (regardless of my budget), I always have a great time. However, ask my skin and I’m pretty sure it’ll disagree. More often than not, I start noticing more bumps, aka clogged pores. And my skin just feels congested and looks blah.

That is, until I recently discovered this anti-pollution mask from Kiehl’s after returning from a spontaneous getaway to Hong Kong two weeks ago. After one application, my skin felt refreshed and seemed brighter. Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, this fights free radicals, mops up microscopic pollutants and strengthens skin barrier. At first, it was its invigorating scent that kept me using this about twice a week. But looking at how my once-suffocated skin has been given a new lease of life, I expect to be smearing every last bit of this one.
