Baldan Group Play Skin

Tapping into both the sheet mask and beauty-tech trends, Italian beauty company Baldan Group has launched an innovative technology-led face mask to the UK market, which is operated via a smart phone.

Play Skin is an at-home device that uses microcurrent on facial muscles and cells, and claims to help regenerate skin in 10 minutes. There are four parts to the treatment. First, a hydrogel sheet mask made from camellia sinensis – packed with antioxidant vitamins, flavonoids and polyphenols – and containing hyaluronic acid and co-enzyme Q10, is applied to the face.

Next, two electrodes are placed on top of the mask and connected to a smart phone via the phone’s earphone jack. The user downloads the Play Skin app and activates the low-density microcurrent energy through the electrodes, which works with the hydrating and anti-ageing ingredients in the mask to help improve skin’s hydration and radiance.

Finally, the user applies the Renewal Cream, (included in the kit) which contains glycolic acid and teprenone, to support the mask. The brand says the cream should be used daily and the mask once a week.

Trade price is £37. Call Baldan Group on 07852 970579
