Lights off, Mask on: A night of indulgence with the new Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf and Hibiscus Mask

Everyone has bad days, and sometimes it shows. If it’s not in the tenseness of your shoulders, then it’s in fine lines and a dull complexion on your face. It’s times like these that you know you should step back and treat yourself.

For some, the first step to kicking back is a change of scenery. That’s why Kiehl’s whisked guests away on a night of relaxation at Okada Manila to celebrate the launch of its newest product. The leave-on Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf and Hibiscus Firming Mask is formulated for all skin types and is infused with two nature-powered ingredients. Apply it to your face at night, and it provides an immediate firming effect and a smoother, younger-looking complexion by morning—all to help your skin keep up with the stress of everyday life and its changing needs.

Kiehl’s set the scene at the luxurious 420sqm presidential suite of Okada Manila to discover new levels of comfort. Guests were pampered with relaxing massages in the suite’s private spa room.  The spacious dining area that has a private bar was transformed into a socials area where guests were treated to indulgent food and cocktails exclusively created by the five-star hotel for the event. An essential oil mixing station was ready for guests to create soothing, calming aromas they could take home with them as room sprays. Fresh flowers decorated the suite’s two exclusive jet tubs as well as the photo walls. There are stations highlighting the mask’s sustainably-sourced ginger leaf extract, which is grown and collected by 14 local women in Hoa Binh and in the Bắc Giang province of Vietnam. To complete the experience, guests lounged in the suite’s one king and two queen-sized Terry cotton beds, all with luxurious Rivolta Carmignani Italian linens and feather down pillows.

It’s hard to find time to pamper yourself. But with its velvety texture and instant smoothing properties, Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask is a quick and simple addition to any regimen to unveil a youthful glow. Swap your moisturizer with this overnight mask at Metro Manila’s most plush suites to have complete relaxation only one sleep away. Treating yourself has never been easier.

NOTABLE INGREDIENTS

Botanical Hibiscus Seed Extract

Cultivated in Southern India, the Hibiscus Seeds are separated from their nutshells before being ground. The active fraction, constituted of Hydrolyzed Proteins, is then extracted from the seeds, purified and filtered to solely keep the efficacious benefits. The Hibiscus Seeds, whose flower is known to close during the night to preserve its nectar, provide the formula with instant and overnight firming benefits.

Ginger Leaf Extract

Native to Vietnam in tropical Asia, the Ginger Leaf utilized in our formula has been widely employed for its roots in traditional Chinese and Ayurveda medicine as well as in Southeast Asia as a spice and flavoring agent in the cuisine. Sourced in Hoa Binh and in the Bắc Giang province of Vietnam, and carefully collected by 14 women between March and October, the Ginger Leaves are then ground and their actives extracted before being used in our formula that reduces the appearance of fine lines.

SUSTAINABLY-SOURCED GINGER LEAF EXTRACT

While the Ginger Plant is very popular for its roots, its leaves are usually discarded. Kiehl’s chemists, however, know that the properties of its leaves can be beneficial for skin. Kiehl’s sustainably-sourced Ginger Leaf extract is grown and collected by 14 local women in Hoa Binh and in the Bắc Giang province of Vietnam. At Kiehl’s, it is in their heritage to give back to the community in which we served our patrons. They provided education on sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques to the surrounding local community farmers in Vietnam, contributed to providing women collectors with tools to improve their work conditions and productivity, and helped to identify new crops to diversify/increase their activities and strengthen their revenues.
