Expert Soothing Skincare for a Hot Summer
Masks + hot summer weather = inflammation of sensitive, irritated skin. What better time to try--not one, but two!--skin-soothing products?
AIPPO’s Expert Soothing Mask and Cica Cream both use natural ingredients to calm down irritated skin.
Expert Soothing Cica Cream
Centella asiatica extract--cica--is already well-known for its soothing properties, and is one of the main ingredients of the cream. Also included is madecassoside for recovering damaged skin, licorice extract for anti-inflammation, and panthenol for hydration.
The cream has a soft texture and lightweight finish perfect for summer, without sacrificing hydration. I like applying it in the daytime under makeup because it doesn’t feel too heavy and adequately preps my skin. It’s also artificial coloring and fragrance free, reducing the amount of potential irritants. It has a good ability to reduce redness, which I was able to notice right away considering that my skin easily gets red in hot weather.
Expert Soothing Mask
The first thing I noticed about this mask is the sheer amount of essence one sheet contains! The soft cellulose mask sheet is saturated with product--so much so that there is excess in the pouch. I love not only using the mask on my face, but being able to spread the leftover essence all over my arms and legs as well.
The product contains three kinds of mint extracts--peppermint, spearmint, and apple mint--resulting in an extra soothing and relaxing effect. I like to use the mask on days when my skin feels tired from a lot of sun exposure and needs some relief. I like that it’s moisturizing but has a fresh finish.

“I love the fact that this sheet mask wasn’t sticky after taking it off. The mask’s essence absorbed into my skin more quickly than others.”
