How to get fresh-faced for the New Year

MANILA, Philippines - Welcome 2014 by starting fresh and adding skincare to your New Year’s resolution. It’s never too early to invest in beautiful skin and never too late to prevent aging. Korea’s top beauty brand, The Face Shop, shares its beauty secrets:

1. Use facial masks at least once a week.

This is  one of the most effective yet low-maintenance beauty rituals practiced by Korean women. Instead of going to the dermatologist, you too can treat yourself to a relaxing facial at home, by choosing from a range of all-natural facial mask sheets packed with serum  that cater to different skin types.

Red Ginseng

The Face Shop harnesses the nourishing and revitalizing powers of red ginseng to relieve tired and languid skin. Each Red Ginseng Mask Sheet is packed with 2,000 ppm of six-year-old red ginseng. Popularly known as the most effective ginseng type available on the market, red ginseng is 100-percent organically grown and filled with essential vitamins and minerals that nourish skin. It also provides a calming effect that reduces mental fatigue.

Kelp

Looking to improve dry, irritated skin? Go for The Face Shop’s Kelp Mask Sheet. This purifying and detoxifying mask promotes a pure skin appearance and a clearer complexion. Regular use protects the skin from the daily effects of air pollution and improves its ability to discharge impurities.

2. Prevent and protect with a generous dose of collagen.

A battle against skin aging won’t be complete without collagen.
