The Bite:
Apply a facial mask, and hi-ho, toxins, awaaaay! Just make sure to opt for an eco-treatment, so you can show off enviable epidermis without resorting to any of the scary ingredients found in average, off-the-shelf masks.

The Benefits:
- Luminosity. Beauty isn't always skin deep...well, except when it is.
- No eco-unfriendly ingredients. Leave potential cancer-causers like formaldehyde or parabens in the dust.
- Loading up on antioxidants. Before cell-damaging free radicals can do their dirty work, antioxidants (in each of our picks) sweep them away.
Personally Speaking:
Jen had perfect skin until she hit her thirties. Now she is getting some payback with hormonal breakouts. Her eco-minded esthetician recommended the Zia mask, which effectively quiets pesky pimples.
Wanna Try:
- Zia Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask - pineapple and carrot juice clear pores while vitamins A and E even out skin tone; great for combo skin ($20).
- Naturopathica Environmental Defense Mask - gentle exfoliating formula for dry, mature skin ($56).
- Eminence Sour Cherry Masque - cherry extract packs in antioxidants while sugar acids tone skin and minimize pores ($40).
- Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea Mask - good for all skin types, with antioxidant-rich açai, goji berry, and tea extracts ($31).
Cocktail Fact
In Virginia, it's a felony for anyone 16 or older to wear a mask in public unless it's for work, medical reasons, or part of a traditional holiday costume.
Bang For The Bite
Mother Earth couldn't care less about your new glow, but it's nice to know that revealing fresh, beautiful skin doesn't require nasty chems.
