Skincare brand Knesko has launched two hydrogel collagen masks for the face, eyes, lips and décolleté to combat environmental damage to the skin using semi-precious gemstones as active ingredients.

The Rose Quartz Antioxidant face mask uses quartz, along with vitamins C and E, white tea, licorice root and grape seed, to calm and repair the skin while protecting it from free radicals. While the Black Pearl Detox uses pearls, which are assoicated with emotional balance, and bamboo charcoal to draw out toxins and purify the skin.

Knesko founder Lejla Cas, says the masks can be used as a VIP service poolside, or even added to mini-bars, to create multiple wellness touchpoints throughout a property and increase revenues. “Directors tell us that offering the masks outside of the spa translates to more visits in the spa,” she says. “Guests love the immediate result of better looking skin and they’re encouraged to take the time for self-care.”

Knesko supplies top spa operators such as Bamford Haybarn, 1 Hotels and Four Seasons. "We are blessed that spas and resorts reasonate with our message and mission,” Cas adds.
