Astara masks a hit with millennial audience
Astara Skin Care’s collection of face masks has proven popular with ‘selfie-obsessed’ millennial consumers. The six-piece collection consists of the Activated Sea Mineral mask, the Blue Flame Purification mask, the Golden Flame Hydration mask, the Green Papaya Nutrient mask, the Nourishing Vitamin mask and the Violet Flame Enzyme mask.
The masks have vibrant pigments made from natural ingredients, and are a hit with the selfie generation due to the ‘multi-masking’ trend and its appeal on social media. Multi-masking uses different masks – and therefore different pigments – on different parts of the face, creating a colourful collage.

Chico Shigeta creates new treatment for Decléor
Decléor has debuted Facial Pilates, a new facial massage technique that claims to visibly lift, remodel and re-densify the skin. Created by Decléor massage development specialist Chico Shigeta, Facial Pilates is designed to stimulate the core muscles in the face and claims to deliver exceptional results.
The facial uses movements inspired by Pilates and features four types of facial massage. It starts with a ‘warm-up,’ where pressure is applied to the face to warm the skin, increase circulation and prompt drainage. The face is then given a ‘workout,’ where the core muscles are stretched to redefine facial contours and firm the skin. The ritual uses Decléor’s OrExcellence skincare range, including the Energy Youth Concentrate Mask.

Orly collaborates with MuslimGirl for new collection
Orly has partnered with MuslimGirl to create an exclusive collection of halal-certified nail polishes, using 100 per cent halal ingredients. The nail polishes feature Orly’s Breathable formula, that is permeable to water and oxygen, and allows nails to breathe.
Practicing Muslim women have previously had to avoid wearing nail polish as it creates a barrier, which causes issues during wudu, an Islamic purification ritual where parts of the body, including the hands and nails, are cleansed with sacred water before prayer. The breathable formula allows water to pass through the layer of polish, making it less of a barrier to wudu. The capsule collection features five coloured polishes, in nude, berry, red, rose-gold and white.
