This summer, we’re all about the glow. While our golden tans most definitely came from a bottle, our glowing skin is all-natural, baby!
And we have one brand to thank for our new glistening complexions. Introducing PERL Cosmetics: The British beauty brand that’s changing the skincare game, for reals.
Founded in 2020 by 27-year-old Isobel Perl, PERL harnesses the natural power of botanical ingredients to create the most divine skincare goodies that actually work.
And so today, we’re going to take you through everything you need to know about PERL’s insane skincare formulas.
You’re very welcome!
British Pink Clay Mask & Illuminating Mask Oil Set RRP: From £29.50
If you’re going to purchase anything from PERL this summer, then let it be their star-studded mask and oil set.
This bestselling, price-savvy set includes PERL’s iconic British Pink Clay Mask and their Illuminating Mask Oil, alongside a mask spatula, spoon and optional mask bowl.
PERL’s British Pink Clay Mask is truly their crowning glory and has received insane feedback from customers.
Made with nourishing ingredients such as kaolin clay and crushed pearl powder, PERL’s pink clay mask cleanses and detoxifies skin whilst leaving the most gorgeous, irresistible glow.
Unlike many other clay masks on the market, PERL’s mask is completely waterless and comes in a powdered form. And there are many interesting reasons as to why this is!
The first is that water is often used as a ‘filler’ ingredient in clay masks. This means that brands use less product and more water, saving themselves some $$$.
As PERL’s masks are waterless, you can rest assured that you’re getting more bang for your buck.
Another reason why PERL formulates without water is that water is a breeding ground for bacteria and mould.
Yeah, pretty gross.
And last but certainly not least, PERL believes that skincare is rarely one-size-fits-all, and customers are the experts of their own skin. As a result, the brand encourages buyers to become their own mixologists and create the perfect mask consistency for them.
PERL also sells gorgeous face oils and mask accessories (more on those, in a mo!) that can be used in conjunction with the clay powder to create the ultimate face mask.
For example, those with very oily skin may opt for a thicker mask by adding less water and oil to the clay powder, while those with dryer skin would go for the opposite!
So all in all, we’re absolutely in love with this mask.
Next up in the set we have PERL’s gorgeous Illuminating Mask Oil.
The oil comes with an ultra-controlled pipette, and when used with the British Pink Clay Mask, helps to seal in hydration and provides a beautifully creamy texture, making it effortless to apply your clay mask.
The Illuminating Mask Oil is packed full of five different plant seed oils, including pomegranate seed oil, which helps revitalise the skin, as well as encourage cell renewal, and raspberry seed oil which deeply nourishes and moisturises the skin, too.
PERL recommends adding up to 10 small drops of oil with your clay powder if you have oily skin, and up to 20 drops if you have dry skin. But of course, you can play around with these doses to find what suits you best.
PERL also gives customers the option to purchase a refill bottle with an aluminium lid instead of the pipette, which cuts down on waste and saves you money, too!
The oil has been formulated without any nasty additives and is completely cruelty-free.
It’s a 10/10 from us.
Radiance Facial Oil RRP: From £26.50
Next up on the PERL roster, we have the Radiance Facial Oil.
The oil is wonderfully light and has a fragrance-free formula that instantly soaks into your skin to banish dryness without clogging up your pores.
Designed for all different types of skin, this luxe oil is bursting with nine different natural oil extracts which help brighten and nourish your complexion.
The formula includes well-loved rosehip seed oil, which has long been applauded for its healing and regenerative properties, and jojoba oil, which is a powerful moisturiser sure to quench even the most dehydrated skin.
You can use the Radiance Oil as the last step in your skincare routine (unless you’re using SPF!) or simply as a deeply nourishing treat. You can also use this gorgeous oil with the clay powder, if you wish!
You can opt to add a PERL Gua Sha tool to your order, which you can use to massage the oil into your skin, increasing blood flow and banishing bloat!
Assorted Accessories RRP: From £1.50
To create the ultimate pampering experience, PERL has a wide range of gorgeous skincare accessories that’ll help your masking and skincare routines.
From stunning mixing dishes and bamboo spoons to aid your mask mixing to adorable spa headbands and bamboo cleansing pads, PERL has just about every little thing you’d ever need to get dreamy skin!
