mask. Mantle The Miracle Mask Resurfacing Glow-up Mask

A beauty story photographed and art directed by Alva Nylander that examines sacred ritual and self-care, questioning the irony that true wellness is an internal state— one rarely attained through external treatments. The contradiction at the heart of skincare marketing is difficult to overlook. Rather than nourishing our skin, we may be sustaining consumerism while reinforcing personal insecurities. By presenting face masks as makeup, the work draws attention to the industry’s fixation on appearance, a focus often concealed beneath the language of health and self-love.
