Origins: Maskimizer™ Skin-Optimizing Mask Primer
4:19 AMMaskimizer Skin-Optimizing Mask Primer represents a new skincare category, that of a primer you apply before using a facial mask. The ingredient list for this mask primer matches up well with a gentle, antioxidant-enriched spray toner, making it a product that may or may not bring something new to your skincare routine.
Maskimizer produces a refreshing, semi-fine mist. Based on Origins' instructions, you apply this before a facial mask, which then "primes" skin to receive maximum benefit from it. This mask primer can help moisturizing masks be more hydrating and keep oil-absorbing masks from feeling too drying. However, you could also use a well-formulated toner to get the same effect.
I love that this lacks any fragrant ingredients (which can irritate skin), and instead contains a mix of lightweight hydrating ingredients plus proven antioxidants, including some that are great for reducing signs of irritation.
PROS:
- Contains a good mix of lightweight hydrating ingredients.
- Works as a gentle, spray-on toner or a pre-mask prep.
- Good mix of proven antioxidants.
- Fragrance free.
CONS:
- Essentially a toner, but doesn't match the best products in that category.
