If you have been around here for a while you will know that face masks are my favourite type of skincare for many reasons. They are so relaxing to use, they really deeply clean your skin and they are great to do with other people. Here are three of my favourite masks at the moment.
The Refreshing Mask - Lush Mask Of Magnaminty
This mask is something I picked up after reading a post about how it was great for pimples and bumps on your skin. I read it and thought 'I need this in my life' so went to my nearest Lush store and bought it. I had no idea it would be so refreshing, it is a peppermint scent which really opens up your nose. It is really refreshing on the skin and it has little bits of something (I don't know to be honest but I am assuming peppermint?) which also exfoliates my skin while I rub it in. My skin feels so clear after I have used it that I never want to put make up on and ruin my fresh face.
The Deep Cleaning Mask - Wilko Kiss x Clay Purifying Face Mask
I have already spoken about this mask in a post here so I won't drone on and on about it too much. This mask I like to use when my skin is having a bad day and is either really dried out or feeling really clogged. It has a thick consistency which is great for covering your whole face and dries hard after being on your skin for a while. When it starts to crack or tingle (when it tingles you know it is working) that is when I usually wash it off with a flannel and my skin always feel so clean afterwards. This is great for them days when you wake up and no facial washes are making your skin feel clean. This was also only a few pounds in Wilko so it is a skincare bargain.
The Cheap Easy One - 7th Heaven Blemish Mud
I have bought loads of this sachets over the years for a quick and easy treatment and since they are only a £1 you can't go wrong with them. I always bring these to girlie nights round peoples houses and I have bought a few to put in little pamper sets for friends birthdays. There are so many different types as well, I have a few material masks from 7th Heaven in my draw as well that I am saving for when my skin is really dry.
Its funny the things you find in the most unexpected places. A few weeks ago I went into Holland and Barrett with my sister so that she could pick up some tablets that apparently help you hair to grow (wouldn't that be amazing) and I spotted these face products on the shelve. I have never tried Dr.Organic Bioactive Skincare before and being me, I couldn't leave the shop without them.
The scrub is one of the best scrubs I have ever used on my face because you can actually feel every granule on your face and see the dead skin just come off. I think if i used another one of my face scrubs that was a little more gentle on the skin and then used this scrub, the honey scrub would still find dead skin to remove. You can use this scrub dry or with water first but when my skin is feeling really flakey and blocked up, I like to use this dry as the granules work my skin better. If you do have sensitive skin I would stay clear of this product though as it is quite rough on the skin and leaves my skin red for about 10 minutes after I've used it. One extra thing, it smells of honey. Enough said.
The mask is similar to the scrub in that you only need it on for a little while before you start to feel it tingle your skin (which is a good sign). This mask is a thick white product that I tend to cover my chin and cheeks with as these are my areas most prone to blemishes. I was a bit nervous about putting something on my face that has virgin olive oil in as in my head oil + face = not nice skin but I was shocked by how the mask really cleanses my skin. Both these products are said to 'deep cleanse' your skin and I totally agree, I don't feel a need to add any thing else to my skin after I have used these products, plus these products have worked my skin so much already you don't really want to put anything else on them that day/night.
I would recommend if you are looking for products that will really work your skin and also for a organic option to try Dr.Organic's skincare. There were loads of different products by these range that I really want to try so in the future I might have a whole draw of these that I go between (not that I need anymore or have space for another draw full...) They also are regularly on offers like 'buy one get one half price' which please me greatly.
I recently went into the Lush store and was on the hunt for something a bit different to what I already had at home. I have face masks, I have moisturizers and scrubs, I have toners so I went in wanting to find something new. Something interesting I did find! I don't know about some of you but I did not know they made foot masks, I love the idea of a mask for your feet!
I was really excited to try it out and see whether it worked like a face mask (obviously it wouldn't get rid of spots because I would hope no one has spots on their feet!). Just like a face mask you take a generous amount of product on your hand and rub the product all over your feet covering the whole surface. It suggests on the label, once all of your feet are covered, to then wrap them up in cling film. Now I have used it with and without cling film and it has worked both times so it all down to your own preference. Once you have covered your feet in the mask and wrapped them up in cling film (or not) you can just sit back and relax for 20 minutes while it does its magic.
20 minutes later...
After 20 minutes you simply just wash the mask off with some water in the shower and your done. The first time I used this mask I was completely shocked, I didn't expect so much dirt to come off my feet (which I didn't think were that dirty in the first place).
My feet were really soft and refreshed after I used the mask and so I'm telling you all to indulge in the hype around this product. It wont disappoint! Since I've bought this product I've been using it at least once a week and it works everytime! :)
