Try these skincare sachets for a quick fix
Dull complexion
If it’s date night, party day, or just a slow Sunday, here’s a neat little facial fix-up in a skincare sachet: TheraVine UltraVine Advance Gold Collagen Film, R321 for two.
It’s soaked with plant-based collagen, vitamins A and C, and kojic acid, so it tingles slightly – but it’s the 24ct-gold dust and diamond powder that brighten skin and leave it with a gorgeous, youthful glow.
Tired eyes
Puffy under-eyes can drag your mood down with them, but 20 minutes with Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks , R1 285 for six, will lift both skin and spirits.
These slippery little crescent moons, doused in firming plankton extract and hyaluronic acid, feel instantly refreshing, and help plump weary contours.
Smile lines
While you enjoyed forming them, deep smile lines aren’t much fun! Try Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer – Collagen Under Eye Patches, R199.
They’re infused with collagen and other anti-ageing ingredients to reduce under-eye puffiness and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Blemishes
The answer to chin- and forehead breakouts is Skin Republic Spots + Blemish Anti-Spot & Pore Refining Face Mask Sheet, R48 for one.
The mask sheet works fast to remove pore-clogging oil and dirt, thanks to the combination of ingredients such as tea tree, salicylic acid and witch hazel to tighten pores.
Dehydration
Rehydrate thirsty skin with Neutriherbs Vitamin C Brightening and Glow Sheet Mask, R319 for five.
It feels like a silky veil on skin, and the moisture pay-off from the organic plant-based ingredients and hyaluronic acid complex is impressive.
Slackening skin
POND’S Anti Ageing Firming Serum Face Mask, R48 for one, is the Spanx of sheet masks; satin soft, yet holds you up in all the right places.
After hooking in place, you’ll press the mask onto skin and let the collagen, potent brown algae extract and hyaluronic acid get to work. You’ll feel a palpably lifted sensation after a handful of uses.
Neglected neck
Show this often-forgotten area on your neck a little love with the Skin Republic Neck + Décolletage Repair Mask, R50 for one.
It contains a unique blend of skin-tightening collagen, antioxidants, and brightening mulberry and liquorice. Used regularly, you’ll see a much smoother, even-toned neck and décolletage.
