"HOW do you wear masks and masks? #wearyourmask. Problem solved! After joyfully receiving the fabulous masks, my friend had the BRILLIANT idea of keeping the gauze on so the face mask would not stick to the COVID mask, and would, therefore, stay in place..... LOVE this. Now that is what I call one clever lady."

The Y-Theorem Repair Mask which Cate uses is designed to "soothe, support and strengthen stressed skin", according to the 111Skin website.

In effect: "The superior bio-cellulose body initially used to treat burn victims, acts as a second skin that encourages superior penetration of ingredients. Alongside a blend of botanical and synthetic actives, the mask works to support a plumper, brighter and calmer appearance within the complexion." It retails at £85.
