Use during the daytime as your skincare routine for plump skin. [Simply] Apply Hydration BAE and massage directly into the skin for hydration. Hydration BAE can be used during the daytime as a moisturizing leave on mask; or at night as an overnight intensive mask.

[Moreover] Hydration BAE does NOT contain microbeads! The blue bubbles are Hybubbles. A patented technology that encapsulates active ingredients; which absorb when massaged into the skin!

Gently apply the mask allowing the Hyaluronic Acid and Tamarind Seed Extract infused gel to absorb; and deeply hydrate the skin. Leaving the bubbles intact; leave on for up to 10 minutes. [Then] experience the patented technology of our Hybubbles.

Massage thoroughly to burst the Hybubbles and activate the secondary serum. Rub gently until absorbed into the skin. And you’re left with a soft, plump, and luminous complexion!

A 10 minute facial for flawless skin. This no rinse face mask leaves skin buttery soft, radiant and supple. Makes a luxurious makeup primer. Ideal for all skin types, however, we always recommend doing a patch test, especially if you have sensitive skin!”

Get That, Get That

Pretty cool right? A mask that doesn’t even need to be rinsed off! Ingenious! Especially, in the realm of skincare; because most times the reason why skincare routines are neglected are due to time.
