Skin Diva Labs Levels Up Skin Rejuvenation With a Blue Velvet Day/Night Mask
07/15/2025, Delray Beach, FL // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Skin Diva Labs is redefining anti-aging skincare with the launch of the Blue Velvet Day/Night Mask, a revolutionary formula powered by methylene blue. While retinol has long reigned supreme in the fight against wrinkles, methylene blue skincare is quickly emerging as the next-generation ingredient, delivering powerful anti-aging results without the irritation and sensitivity often associated with traditional actives. Methylene blue has been making headlines for its ability to supercharge mitochondrial health, which in turn boosts skin energy, doubles collagen and elastin production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, and dullness. Unlike retinol, which can leave skin red, dry, and peeling, methylene blue works gently yet effectively, ideal for sensitive, mature, post-treatment, and even oncology and pregnancy-prone skin. Skin Diva Labs has harnessed the full benefits of methylene blue in this bio-hacked, vegan formula, developed by a biochemist and skincare scientist, to bring a science-backed glow to all skin types. The Blue Velvet Day/Night Mask isn't just a pretty blue face. It is a powerhouse combination of peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants designed to flood the skin with hydration and restore the barrier. Users have reported visible results in as little as 10 to 14 days, describing their skin as 'dewy, hydrated, and glowing.' Whether one is looking to restore their skin's radiance after a day in the sun, a stressful week, or an intensive cosmetic treatment, the mask provides a true bounce-back effect. For those wondering how to use methylene blue on skin for wrinkles , the process couldn't be simpler: apply the mask to clean skin prepared with a hyaluronic toner, day or night, and let the formula work its rejuvenating magic while you sleep or go about your day. Skin Diva Labs is committed to clean, conscious beauty. Every product is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, silicones, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals. Even the packaging reflects this ethos—the airless pump keeps the formula fresh while reducing waste, offering an eco-friendly and hygienic experience. Made in small batches, the mask is designed for wellness-minded consumers who want effective skincare without compromise. With methylene blue skincare products now leading the clean beauty movement, Skin Diva Labs is at the forefront. This summer, the Blue Velvet Day/Night Mask is the ultimate skin rescue, which repairs the damage of sun exposure, environmental stressors, and modern life. It soothes inflammation, restores moisture, and brings your skin back to its radiant best—no fairy godmother required.

I Tried Eating Protein-Only Dinners and These Were the Effects
Dinners have always caused me dilemmas. Long before the high protein hype. It's the time of day when I am most hungry, when I am most tired, and when I'm conscious that having a big dinner will impact my sleep. I'm also on a weight loss journey, and the metabolism slows down at night when you're less awake and active, burning fewer calories. I've tried a few strategies, but so far, undoubtedly, the one that is working best for me is to focus solely on protein for dinner. The current fixation for protein is real: So real, in fact, that according to nutritionist Melyssa Chang, we've gone from not eating enough to, in some cases, overeating protein, estimating at around 35 per cent too much of the stuff. On my dietary journey for this article, I wanted to make sure I wasn't championing protein to the point of demonizing other nutrients. Whether you've consciously upped your protein intake or not, it should not be done to the detriment of other necessary macronutrients, like fats and slow-absorption carbohydrates. So, I have been having protein-only dinners four times a week, then, paying special attention to my vegetable, fat, and carbohydrate intake in my other meals throughout the day, so as not to unbalance the rest of the diet and lose other vital nutrients. Having said all this, here's how I do it. Protein intake and weight loss Nutritionist and biochemist Leticia Carrera advised me that if you want to lose weight, focusing on protein in the evening will keep you satisfied and satiated. 'At night, the caloric expenditure is minimal, so everything we eat for dinner that the body does not use will be stored as fat,' Carrera says. 'I recommend having protein for dinner if you want to lose weight, because protein is necessary to form new tissues. At night, our body goes into repair mode. When we eat protein we burn a lot of energy to metabolize it, so the total calories it provides us with are reduced.' To caveat all of this, I do not weigh myself at home—the number on the scales is going to fluctuate throughout the day, from water weight to sodium levels, nor is it taking in the different between fat and muscle mass. Besides, as the nutritionist María del Mar Silva previously told Vogue, 'the correct weight loss is when we do not lose muscle mass. And that cannot be reliably detected with the scales we have at home.'
