The viral Tik Tok mask you need in your skincare routine
Nailing your morning skincare routine is the best way to start your day, something Caudalie founder Mathilde Thomas knows more than most. In light of the relaunch of their viral Tik Tok Detox Mask, famed for removing dirt and oil from individual pores in just ten minutes, Mathilde takes us through her full Caudalie skincare routine as she talks ingredients, skincare tips and the story behind her brand.
Step one: cleanse your skin
‘It’s not worth applying any good products onto unclean skin because the active ingredients will not penetrate it.’
‘I love the cleansing oil because it’s 100% natural, removes all makeup (including waterproof) and it contains castor oil to help your lashes and brows grow!’
Mix a few pumps of each product together in your hands and apply all over the face (including eyebrows), rubbing gently in circular motions.
‘I adore the instant foaming cleanser because it contains sage to purify the skin, and it’s great for a burst of radiance.’
Apply the Premier Cru The Eye Cream all around the eye contour using your ring finger, pressing very gently into the skin – a little goes a long way. Top tip: if you have some left over, apply around the mouth area.
‘This cream contains all of Caudalie’s best technology. It contains antioxidants, it’s anti-dark circle, and it contains 10% of pearliser that will illuminate your eye contour.’
Step six: Moisturise
‘I often get asked what moisturiser I would take to a desert island, and mine would definitely be the Premier Cru.’
‘It’s the perfect all-in-one product. Full of antioxidants, this patented formula moisturises and firms your skin and is also anti-dark spot and anti-wrinkle. It’s a super rich texture yet completely matte on the skin.’
As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine.
Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
