Today I came up with something that seems to be quite popular at the moment, and to be honest I don't understand why, because it's been in the market for a while. Actually, I tried it for the first time last year, and I'm glad I did.
Lately there's been a very strong connection with Korea in terms of beauty, and there's so many cool products that we probably wouldn't know of if it wasn't for them. When I think of Korean girls, I think about their gorgeous sleek and shiny hair, their pale complexion, and their perfectly smooth skin, and you can probably achieve that (or get VERY close to it) with this mask.
So my skin is combination, and it gets very dry in winter, but I tend to get a lot of blackheads on my nose and chin. I don't get a lot of pimples (finally got over that stage, because there was a time when I got a LOT, but we'll talk about it later). So overall my major concerns are the dryness on my forehead, cheeks and chin areas, and the blackheads on the others. I had tried clay masks before, and found that if you were consistent with them and committed to putting them on at least twice a week, they were really effective for fighting blackheads and zits. The thing with some of them, is that they can be very drying, especially if you have combination skin.When I came across this mask, I thought that it would be very cool, but I was very scared of the bubbly part. I thought that it would be VERY drying and it would end up leaving my skin like it was going to fall to pieces. But it didn't! The first time, I could already feel the difference. It leaves your skin squeaky clean, very smooth and gradually gets rid of imperfections (you definitely need to use it more than once to notice a difference with blackheads).
Pros:
- It is so different, I'm very glad we're getting more products from Korea, because they're so cool and innovative.
- It can really make a difference in your pores, you just have to keep using it.
- It works for removing oil, dirt, and even makeup, I never tried removing my makeup with it, but I did try after cleaning my face with Micellar Water, because there always is a bit of makeup left over on your skin, so this mask is perfect for that.
- The tingling sensation worked out to be quite relaxing for me and made me feel like I was in a spa.
Cons:
- Given where it comes from, the label is a definite con. I don't know if it was just the jar I got, but all of the instructions were in Korean, so I had to pretty much guess how to use it. I left it on for around 20 minutes and then rinsed it off with warm water.
- The bubbles can be a con. Because the mask "grows" on your face, you have to be careful with where you apply it. Don't put it too close to your eyes, because that would be seriously painful, and probably avoid going too far near the hairline, unless you want a bubbly mess on your hair lol.
- Rinsing it off can take a while. I'm not sure if this is an actual con, because I know it is the case with all (or most) clay masks. If you haven't tried them before, it will probably annoy you, but if you have, you probably know that it's normal.
So if you're looking for a mask that does a good job at purifying your skin, this one is definitely a good idea, and I would definitely recommend trying it.
Thank you for reading me! xo
