skin fix: apivita express oily skin balance face mask

If you've ever been on an extended trip or vacation, you'll know that sometimes you have to make those suitcase-space-saving decisions - and that means most of your usual beauty bounty (face masks, exfoliators, foot scrubs and the like) may have to stand by the wayside to make room for your myriad cute outfits and shoes. But one of my recent discoveries, the Greek beauty line Apivita, has the answer to this problem with its Express line of skincare, which come in cute little one-use travel-friendly pouches; from scrubs to hair and face masks, you'll never have to forsake your special beauty treatments again. Apivita's selection of face masks alone is astounding: there are 14 different varieties to choose from, so depending on your skin's woes (dehydrated, acne-fied or stressed out to name a few), you're sure to find one that suits. Given that my skin wants to be oily at the moment, I tried the Oily Skin Balance Face Mask with Propolis (that lovely little bee-made antioxidant wonder I've mentioned previously). With clay for deep cleansing and vitamin E to hydrate, this mask amazingly tightens pores and refines without sucking out all the moisture in your skin. My skin felt refreshed and glowy afterwards, just as it should post-facial treatment.
