Set to leave skin hydrated, firmed and strengthened, the Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask has been made by solidifying highly concentrated serum. As your skin absorbs the active ingredients in the mask, it becomes transparent, letting you know your skin has absorbed all its goodness.
Absolutely packed with skin-loving skincare ingredients and with over 5,000 sold on iHerb alone in the past month, the cult mask is a skincare staple for good reason, delivering noticeable skincare results in as few as one use.
These include oligo-hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin, ultra-low molecular collagen to refine pores and smooth the skin and three different kinds of probiotics to strengthen the skin's barrier and slow ageing for a glowing, moisturised and gorgeously smooth complexion.
In fact, after just one use, skin moisture has been seen to increase by 256 per cent, skin elasticity by 34 per cent and pore size decreased by 83 per cent.
For best results, the brand recommends using the two-part mask overnight as a sleeping mask, and thanks to its mess and residue-free application, many shoppers have been seen using the anti-aging mask on long-haul flights to keep skin looking radiant.
'This is seriously such a nice luxury face mask experience,' raved one five-star reviewer. 'I wasn't sure if it was gonna be gimmicky. I wore the first one around the house while I did chores. I looked a little bit crazy but afterwards my skin was so bouncy and juicy.'
Designed for even the most sensitive of skin, this hard-working mask has been credited as delivering impressive hydration without irritation or causing breakouts.
And users can't get enough of it. Customer results show that 100 per cent agreed their pore condition and skin redness improved, while 95 per cent agreed their skin felt moisturised.
'From the first application, I noticed an immediate difference in the texture and hydration of my skin,' wrote another impressed reviewer. 'The formula is lightweight yet deeply moisturising, making it perfect for my dry and sensitive skin.
'What I love most is that it absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, and it doesn't cause any irritation or breakouts, which is often a concern with sensitive skin products. The fragrance-free aspect is also a huge plus for me since I tend to avoid strong scents.'
Another added: 'Wow. I usually don't take the time to write reviews. But I tried one of these for the first time last night and I'm amazed. Literally, down to every detail, these are exactly as described and as seen on social media, glass skin effect and everything.'
'Totally worth the #1 best seller status for me! The mask is fantastic. The texture is so nice, it adheres to the skin unlike any other mask I have ever tried, the cooling effect is instant and it lasts the entire time you have the mask on. You can feel the tightening while it's happening. My skin looks ridiculously good this morning!' Another wrote.

The voice of our own inner critic can be strong. How can we break free from the mental prison?
The Buddha was bold in his approach to human psychology. He described psychological suffering as pervasive and inherent to the human experience. Suffering is present not only in moments of loss and pain, but in how the mind contracts, shaped by past actions and entrenched habits. In this sense, we live in a mental prison of our own making with walls continually constructed and reconstructed largely out of conscious view. Thoughts, perceptions and feelings appear solid and true, and a relentless internal voice tells us who we are, what we ought to be and do and what the world must deliver. At its worst, our psyche can feel like 'a bad neighbourhood' that we might avoid walking through alone, to quote writer Anne Lamott. During such times, support, friendship and self-nurturing are crucial. But even outside more troubling mental states, the walls of our minds can limit the view. Sound familiar? It's no coincidence that in contemporary life, the pursuit of mental freedom has become mainstream – even commercial. Modern seekers are microdosing psilocybin, participating in ayahuasca ceremonies, experimenting with cognitive-enhancing supplements like nootropics, and trying biohacking techniques – cold plunges, saunas, sensory deprivation tanks to name a few. And then, of course, there are silent meditation retreats: two days, 10 days, 30 days, even three months. On these retreats, participants report glimpsing a reality beyond the known self, a shift so impactful it can redirect the entire course of their lives. In fact, many committed to Buddhist meditation speak of such moments as pivotal. While sudden breakthroughs can be transformative (particularly when integrated well), once the intensity fades, familiar anxieties return. The architecture of our inner world, temporarily dismantled, rebuilds itself. The Buddha might have recognised the yearning behind this search, but cautioned that while insight can arise spontaneously, the path is ultimately gradual and gentle, requiring ethics, restraint, mindfulness and mental persistence. We chase instant fixes, hoping the next practice or product will deliver, only to feel let down. Caught in this need for immediate release, we often avoid examining the quieter mechanisms that keep us trapped. One such mechanism is what modern Buddhists refer to as the judgmental or comparing mind – not to be confused with wise discernment. As our awareness deepens, we begin to see the extent to which we internalise rules, expectations, and criticism. The comparing mind isn't kind or reasonable. When triggered, it can be oppressive, self-flagellating and cruel. It can appear in the body as constriction and discomfort – a tightening of the jaw and chest, a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach. Sometimes it's so constant we only notice it when we pause and tune in. Western thinkers like Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault explored how we internalise authority, self-police, and punish ourselves. Foucault described how we internalise the gaze of those in power, monitoring our behaviours, actions and even our thoughts. Freud referred to the 'superego,' which tames instinctual desires, but also devolves into shame and guilt; essential to social cohesion, he said, but when overactive, the cause of neuroses and mental distress. Buddhism recognises similar dynamics, albeit through a different lens. As a way to work with the inner critic, we are first invited to actively extend a spirit of non-harm toward all beings – this includes ourselves. This elicits an ever-deepening awareness of how we move through the world and treat others, as well as our own hearts, in the pursuit of mental liberation. Then, through meditative inquiry, we begin to see our punishing thoughts with greater clarity – their shape, origin and propensity. Shame and blame aren't repressed, but understood and, where possible, gently disarmed and pacified. What does this look like, practically? First, notice how it lives in the body and stays with it. Offer yourself some mercy. This is part of being human – a mind that grasps, compares, and cajoles. As calm returns, a small sense of freedom may emerge. Don't miss that. From here, trace what gave rise to the pattern: fatigue, an interaction, a memory or something else. Notice the belief or storyline the mind clings to. In other words, what is the sticky thought at play? In seeing this clearly, the mind may loosen its grip. Over time, and with continued observation, these habits may naturally dissipate. During a retreat, I once became struck by the cruelty of my thoughts. I hadn't noticed it in the rush of daily life, but in stillness, it hit me in a visceral way. Every time I meditated, my mind scorned me: I wasn't doing it well enough, this wasn't the practice for me, I was too sleepy, hungry, or ill-suited. I had a bad temperament, the voice said, and I might as well give up. Exhausted, I went to the teacher to report on my experience, and she said very directly, as if she already knew, 'it's remarkable how violent we can be to ourselves'. It's hard, this being human thing. But the Buddha's path, like many spiritual paths, is a hopeful one. It teaches us how to alleviate suffering through humility, curiosity and patience, rather than fighting fire with fire. To paraphrase the Buddha, 'hatred is never appeased by hatred … but by love alone'. With practice, the grip of the inner critic is released, and space for something else emerges. It may happen suddenly, but it's more likely to happen over time. As the punishing narrator recedes into the background, we access greater moments of mental release and ethical clarity. Then, one very fine day, we might walk straight out of the prison's doors, and as we do, we might realise the doors have been wide open this whole time.

Doctors warn Gen Z's drastic anti-ageing beauty method is making their skin look WORSE
Doctors have issued a warning about a skincare routine popular on TikTok - and say it may actually be doing more harm than good. The 'morning shed' trend sees people going to bed plastered in face masks, eye masks, chin straps, mouth and face tape, and bonnets in a bid to achieve glowing 'glass skin' by morning. 'The uglier you go to bed, the hotter you wake up' has become the mantra of many social media users, such as American TikToker Ashley West, who boasts one million followers, as they layer up before bedtime. The popular, but time consuming, process sees people peeling off the many layers in the morning as they get ready for the day. But despite the great amount of effort, experts have warned that it might all be in vain. Dr Anjali Mahto said face-taping - the process of putting kinesiology tape on your face to restrict the muscle movement and try stop wrinkles forming - is an ineffective way of stopping the ageing process. The consultant dermatologist and founder of the Self London clinic told The Guardian: 'Wrinkles are not just about movement, they involve collagen loss, changes in fat distribution… Taping cannot reverse or prevent those processes. 'At best, it offers a fleeting sense of control. At worst, it disrupts the barrier and causes unnecessary inflammation.' Creator are often seen wearing silicone patches, sometimes filled with reactive productive such as retinol, which can cause irritation when pressed into the skin over night Influencers are often seen wearing patches on their foreheads or under their eyes, sometimes filled with reactive products such as retinol, which can cause irritation when pressed into the skin over night. Another consultant dermatologist told The Guardian the compulsive use of collagen masks to sleep in has shown no proof of having any benefit. Dr Cristina Psomadakis said: 'Not only is there an environmental impact, but there's also no solid evidence that applying collagen topically replenishes the body's own collagen stores.' The combination of random serums and lotions that women are adding beneath these masks are also causing irritation. Cristina, the medical director of prescription skincare brand Klira, added that the 'biggest problem' most dermatologists are seeing these days is people 'overdoing it' by following skincare trends. Her advice for the most effective routine was to just wash your face at the end of the day and keep steps minimal by only using cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen in the morning, and sometimes a prescription treatment at night. However, there is evidence that mouth taping may be used to stop snoring and improve sleep with researchers at Harvard Medical School saying the adhesives 'significantly reduced' oxygen levels and 'hampered breathing'. Dr Mahto said that people are feeling pressured to not just have a polished appearance but a polished process in a bid towards a curated life. 'Skincare has not been spared, and these increasingly complex night-time rituals often go beyond what the skin physiologically requires, and instead reflect a broader cultural compulsion toward perfection,' they explained. Last year, dermatologist Sophie Momen told Healthline that the long process is more than likely to simply be 'very time consuming and largely unnecessary'. She warned that stamping endless products into the skin overnight can be counterintuitive to optimising skin health. She explained: 'Drenching the skin in heavy serums and products may block pores and lead to breakouts, while around the delicate eye area, it may cause the formation of milia.' Further, using harsh ingredients with active ingredients that cause irritation since these products are only meant to be used for a short period of time and should be breathable rather than pushed beneath silicone. Not only can it be damaging, but most products will achieve their intended effect after 10 minutes with little to suggest a further eight hours will better the results. Though she does believe that some elements can be helpful, for example using silk wraps or pillow cases to reduce harm to our hair at night, the rest isn't likely to reap any improvement in skin quality. Not to mention, many complain that products and attachments are prone to falling off over night, likely making for a more irritating an uncomfortable night rather than one 'better sleep quality'.

Revealed: The women who look 10 years younger WITHOUT Botox and credit non-invasive procedures for their incredible transformations
Forget Botox and surgeries, these days many women are opting for non-invasive procedures - and the results are no less incredible. With an increased awareness of the benefits of skincare thanks to social media, people appear to be wanting more 'natural' and less 'over surgery-ed' looks, in a phenomenon that has been dubbed 'Notox'. Incredible before and after pictures taken by skincare experts at CACI International - who describe themselves as pioneers of the 'non-surgical face lift' - show the epic results that they claim can be achieved through these methods. According to the experts, targeted treatments can improve the appearance of jowls and help aid the symptoms of Bell's Palsy. The transformation pictures appear to show tighter and more sculpted jawlines, as well as glowing and brighter skin. For those with Bell's Palsy, the after pictures seem to signify a return of symmetry in the face. Lena Bratschi, the founder of The Carasoin Day Spa in West Hollywood, boasts celebrity clients including Michelle Williams, Elizabeth Debicki, Caitriona Balfe and Sarah Paulson. She said: 'Not only is there a shift towards more non-surgical options but it's something we've seen increasing in popularity steadily over the past few years. More and more women seem to be opting for 'Notox' - or, non-surgical procedures. Pictured: The before and after of a jowl lift at Lindsey Anne Beauty and Cosmetics in Penkridge, without going under the knife 'It's a clear push back against the 'over surgery-ed' look and while people still want to look their best, they don't want to look like they've clearly had work done. 'Because of this, I think people want to explore other options that don't have the downtime or risk of complications, so they're opting for non-invasive procedures.' Lisa Franklin, a leading skin expert at CACI's Clinic Privé in Knightsbridge, told MailOnline that the advantages of opting for non-surgical solutions can include 'delivering visible skin rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures, downtime or recovery', unlike surgical options 'which can be drastic and carry risks'. She said: 'It's a non-surgical, pain-free approach that works in harmony with your skin's natural processes - stimulating collagen, improving muscle tone, and restoring radiance.' The experts liken the procedures to a 'gym routine' as they tend to build it up over time. JOWL LIFT Jowls are the sagging and loose skin below the jawline that often develops with age, as the skin becomes thinner and looses elasticity - commonly for those in their late 30s and early 40s. While many people have traditionally opted for surgical facelifts, non-surgical 'jowl lifts' have, in some cases, also proven effective. Incredible before and after pictures of CACI's non-surgical jowl lifts seem to have resulted in sharpened and more chiselled jawlines - all without going under the knife. The procedures target muscle laxity around the jawline and can improve the appearance of sagging jowls by lifting and firming the muscles. The treatments may also use LED light therapy and microcurrents to aid in boosting the skin. Richard, 37, from Staffordshire, is a cardiac nurse who said he had 'always been bothered' by his jowls. He said: 'This is something that has always bothered me. Growing up I never liked my jowls and as I have aged, I dislike them even more.' Richard completed a course of CACI treatments at The Chase in Staffordshire in 2023, continuing to have them monthly. He added: 'Although I know there are invasive treatments I could use, I find it difficult to trust others to inject my face as I do this for a living. I much prefer to have non-invasive treatments, and I love the time out for myself. 'I now feel I can't go without it, and I always ensure I pre-book my appointments. I look forward to them and always feel like my face has had a work-out straight after my facial.' To prevent jowls forming, cutting out smoking, limiting exposure to the sun and screen time can also help, according to Healthline. FACIAL TONING One of CACI's statement treatments is facial toning - which takes a variety of forms. At a basic level, it is the lifting and toning facial muscles while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Methods can include microcurrent gua sha, which combines modern technology with traditional techniques. This promotes lymphatic drainage, enhances circulation, and reduces puffiness. At the same time, the presence of microcurrents works to contour and sculpt the face for a more defined and youthful experience. Non-surgical facial toning uses skin exfoliation techniques to brighten and smooth the skin, toning and lifting the face and firming the neck. In addition, treatments may include LED light therapy, hands-on therapy and energising masks, stimulating collagen and elastin. For men, deep exfoliation and cleansing can be used to tackle razor bumps and ingrown hairs from shaving. Elaine Hendry, 57, from Scotland said she began getting toning facials around 15 years ago, when she was 42. She said: 'I was starting to see fine lines appearing and felt my skin was very dull. 'I didn't want to go down the road of Botox and fillers as I wanted a more natural way forward. Plus, I'm a hairdresser and I saw some clients with Botox that had gone wrong, and they wished they hadn't got it done. 'I started noticing how clear my skin was, and my eyebrows were higher. People were starting to tell me how well I looked.' Now, fifteen years later, Elaine, who is a client of Brownz Beauty in Largs, says: 'My jawline is toned, and my lines are minimal. What I love about it is that I have managed to avoid Botox and fillers and I still look like me.' Krystyna Gibbons, 65, from Lincolnshire says she's 'never' taken for her real age, as people usually assume she's 10 years younger. Krystyna, who visits Enhance Beauty in Grantham, says she's been having non-surgical facials for 16 years and credits it with changing her life. 'From my first facial I was hooked,' she said. 'My appearance was crucial as I worked with high-end blue-chip clients and organisations and attended events gala dinner awards ceremonies. 'I am always being complemented on my glowy skin. I can honestly say I will never give it up. As well as being a great facial it is also my "me time" once a month to relax and shut the rest of the world out - a true luxury experience.' BELL'S PALSY Bell's Palsy is a sudden form of facial paralysis that usually affects one side of the face. According to the NHS website, effective treatments can include steroids and most people get better within six months. If symptoms do not improve, those with the condition can return to their GP. Experts at CACI also recommend non-surgical procedures to help with symptoms. Martin Scott decided to visit the Float Spa in East Sussex after discovering CACI was originally designed to treat Bell's Palsy. He said: 'I found Bell's palsy to be very tough mentally – not being able to talk, eat or drink properly, and having to tape my eye down each night. 'I wanted to start it immediately.' As the whole of the right side of Martin's face was paralysed, he couldn't close his eye or smile on that side. Martin's skin therapist Lorraine recalled: 'It was extremely difficult and distressing for him as he was slurring his speech, and dribbling. 'He also had to tape his eye down as he couldn't close it to sleep. I needed to focus on the whole of his right side particularly his mouth and eye area.' For Martin's treatment, Lorraine explored the use of probes to hold his muscles for a set period of time, using microcurrent power and allowing space in between treatments to allow the muscles to rest. A day or so after his initial treatment, Martin saw an encouraging sign - slight eyebrow movement. He then started to see progress after each treatment, eventually regaining full use of his facial muscles and recovered symmetricity. Lorraine says: 'I was extremely pleased with the result. After only four treatments, he regained full use of all his muscles and his face was symmetrical. After the fourth treatment (over 10 days) he was able to fully close his eye at night.' Martin added: 'The results were nothing short of miraculous for me. I was in and out of Bell's palsy in 24 days. Once treatment was over, I felt fantastic. I basically had my face and my life back.' Another client, Ken, 71, came to the Lindsey Anne Beauty and Cosmetics Clinic in Penkridge with his third episode of Bell's Palsy. Lindsey said: 'He had been down many different avenues to find the right treatment - physio, medicines - but nothing worked.' He began treatments twice a week, starting gently as he had severe sensitivity. Lindsey began began doing jowl lift movements on the one side of his face where his Bell's palsy occurred. She could then start to put more pressure and time behind each movements. She later began jowl movements to lift both sides of his face, before moving onto eye revive treatments to improve facial symmetry. Ken said he was initially 'sceptical' as nothing previously had worked for him, but said it had changed his life, giving him the confidence to go out and start to re-live again. If somebody's face is drooping on one side, they cannot lift up their arms and keep them there, or they have difficulty speaking, it could be the signs of a stroke rather than Bell's Palsy and 999 should be called as soon as possible.
