Busy running to the mall, the kitchen, and the airport in hopes to pull together the best holiday festivities? How will your skin ever keep up? Read on for a few expert tips:
Hydrate. At the mall keep a deep conditioning moisturizer in your bag for easy application between stores. Beating the holiday rush and fighting crowds will not only take a toll on your feet but your skin too. Remember to re-nourish with lots of water, to boost your mood and complexion.
Refresh. If you’re one of the millions traveling to see friends or family for the holiday, remember to pack a trusty hydrating sheet mask so you’ll look and feel fresh on arrival. Those crowded, dry airplanes will leave your skin looking tired and dull. Freshen up with a Lost Baggage under eye emergency repair mask.
Relax. Most enjoy the Holiday cheer, but all the stress of several hours in the kitchen cooking and cleaning, wrapping presents, and hanging the lights on the house can leave you exhausted. Chances are your skin will feel the effects of the oven heat and winter chill. Enjoy some quiet time and a relaxing sheet mask facial while cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa. Yum!

Those of you who follow the latest news from around the beauty world may have come across some disturbing reports recently regarding the sheet mask industry in Asia. For full details, you can see the article that originally appeared on Racked.
So what’s it all about?
The Issue
Contaminated sheet masks with dirt, bacteria, mold, and human hair popping up in South Korea and the US.
The Cause
Contract manufacturers who produce sheet masks in unsanitary conditions and without following what’s known as Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices (or cGMP).
Specifically, some companies outsource the mask folding process to contractors who then distribute them to stay at home moms to fold in their own homes. After the masks are folded and placed into the unsealed sachet, they’re returned to a factory where they’re supposedly sterilized, filled with serum, and sealed.
Other companies have mask folding areas within their facilities where the process is more controlled, however many still do not follow cGMP guidelines.
So what about BioRepublic sheet masks?
We only work with suppliers who are cGMP certified (ISO 22716).
This means that all of our suppliers meet international standards for clean, sanitary production of cosmetic products. We do not work with any suppliers who use fold-at-home contractors.
Furthermore, all of our suppliers are required to test every batch of ingredients they receive, as well as every batch of finished BioRepublic sheet masks, for a variety of mold, fungi, bacteria, and other contaminants.
Finally, we double check our suppliers by holding every batch of finished BioRepublic sheet masks in storage until we receive clear test results from an independent, FDA registered laboratory here in the United States.
That’s what we mean by Beauty You Can Trust.
