Combine the rituals together and you have yourself a complimentary recipe for feeling relaxed and revitalised in under 15 minutes.
In an effort to embrace more moments of self-care - and have a little fun while we’re at it - Lane Crawford presents our favourite face mask and drink pairings. We’re feeling more relaxed already.
Pair a glass of Rosé with Lancôme's Absolue Precious Cells Revitalizing Rose Mask
You’re in the midst of pulling an all-nighter in order to meet a work deadline. What you would much rather be doing is relaxing in a sprawling rose garden, preferably in a French Château, sipping chilled wine. Give yourself a compromise with a well-earned break: Pour yourself a large glass of ice cold French rosé, apply a generous layer of Lancôme's Absolue Precious Cells Revitalizing Rose Mask - making sure to breathe in that sweet, decently floral scent - close your eyes, and transport yourself there for 10 glorious minutes while your skin firms and brightens.
Pair a Mojito with Fresh’s Sugar Face Polish Mask…
A stressful situation has left you craving a sugar hit. Rather than going on a junk food rampage, hit the spot by fixing yourself a refreshing drink with just the right amount of sweetness - cue the traditional Cuban rum highball made with two tablespoons of sugar. The perfecting pairing? Fresh’s Sugar Face Polish Mask. Made with real brown sugar crystals, the ritual of applying this decently sugary mask will also aid as you gently scrub stress (and dry skin) away.

Pair a Frozen Daiquiri with Vanessa Megan’s Cryo Facelift Ice Cube Treatment
It’s summer. It’s hot outside. You’re parched and perspiring and you need a moment to yourself to chill out and cool down. After flicking the AC switch on, head to the kitchen to blend yourself up a frozen daiquiri. Next, go to the freezer and get yourself a cube of Vanessa Megan’s Cryo Facelift Ice Cube Treatment, wrap it in muslin cloth, and apply to your face, neck and décolletage in a circular motion while it cools down, de-puffs and revitalises the skin.
