MY FACE MASK REVIEW

MY FACE MASK REVIEW

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great start to the week. If you read my updated skincare routine, then you already know how I have changed it up quite a bit from trying Korean skincare to avoiding some products entirely. I have been into skincare for quite some time now, and after getting the routine that suits me and my skin type, it still hasn’t made it easy when my skin decides to just breakout out of nowhere or sometimes due to the dreaded hormones, either way, it’s a battle I am trying to conquer. I added some facial masks to my routine which I am liking. This is my face mask review and it’s an updated version.

MY FACE MASK REVIEW

1. AZTEC BENTONITE CLAY

This right here is my holy grail, I use it once or twice a week and I love it, the first time I used it I applied it using my hands and noticed that it was not really the best way, then I decided to use the flat foundation brush for application and it really does make a difference, you do end up feeling your face pulsating as it says and feels weird at first and you might also feel it become itchy, but you soon get used to it and you get flawless results. It can make your face feel a bit dry afterwards so I do suggest moisturising right after using this mask. To see products that didn’t work for my skin, visit here.

2. SANDALWOOD

 I knew about this from living in Mombasa during my college years, they call it liwa in Swahili and is usually used to make a brides skin flawless. I mix this with rose water into a paste and apply it the same way, now this mask smells really strong for some people but I don’t really mind it, for the results you get, I ignore the smell. It leaves your skin feeling soft, reduces pores and is affordable and lasts for quite some time. I didn’t have a photo for this since the bag busted and it now resides in a bowl. Lately, I have ditched the rosewater and tend to mix it with my Aztec clay above and just mix it all to make one mask.

3. MY SCHEMING Blackhead Acne Removal Activated Carbon Mask Set

  I know, that’s a mouthful, this mask has steps for one to follow on how to apply it, you first have to prep the skin by massaging the deep pore mineralized water into the skin, then follow with the mask and finally the treatment essence, you have to wait for the mask to dry totally and it does take some time, then just wash your face.

The only problem I had with this one is that if you have small facial hairs, try to put a thicker layer because it was not pleasant. I peeled it off screaming and tearing up at the same time, it was really painful and even regretted it, all in all, I did not really see my blackheads coming out as it shows on the box it comes in. Maybe it’s just my skin or I did something wrong, either way, it didn’t work for me. I tried finding the link for this and seems it has been discontinued but the packaging and how it looks is below.

4. GARNIER SHEET MASKS

These right here are a game-changer, perfect for my sensitive skin and I love all the various types they have for dehydrated skin, with vitamin C and my favourite the hyaluronic sheet mask which keeps your skin hydrated for over a week. I usually use this mask right after my clay mask and when I have time to just relax and spend more time on myself. If you haven’t tried these before then I suggest you grab yourself one and you will not regret it.

I am yet to find other masks that will favour my skin but for now, all my skin can handle are these minus 3 above which is a no go zone for me. I have also learnt that the fewer products I use on my skin, the better it gets.

That’s it for my used and tested face masks. Do give them a try and tell me what you think and don’t forget to leave me a comment below but until then, check out how to get clear skin and why your skin isn’t clear and healthy. Have a lovely week and see you next time. Any other masks you have tried and willing to share?

  1. It’s good to see an honest review and not just promoting stuff online. I’m 26 years old and still have pimples here and there. When I was a teenager, I really had bad acne so I didn’t use masks that you have to rip off. Recently, I tried some but I think it did not really make a difference to me.
