Magic Masks

I love face masks and ive tried so many over the years and gone through all the motions from Mrs Doubtfire to a beetroot. As ive said in previous posts I have oily problem skin, most masks make my face that tight I end up like a slick rick. Finally I have found a small selection that work for me hopefully you too!

First is Soap & Glory Fab Pore Facial Peel, this face mask is brilliant. The mask comes in a 50g pot and a little goes a very long way. When you open the pot you get a bright white paste with tiny blue/green beads that dissolve on your skin as you apply.You can leave it on for 15 minutes or 5 minutes as a 'refresher' as they say, preferably I leave it on for the full 15. It has a minty smell almost like toothpaste which is what it feels and looks like on your face. This leaves my skin feeling clean and cool, no excess oil or dryness and helps to calm my blemishes. Winning!

Second is Mask Of Magnaminty by Lush, these face masks are different as they are made fresh. They have a sell by date and you have to keep them in the fridge almost like food. This one is designed for breakouts and oil, not just on your face but your body too. Its labelled as the Big Green Giant Face & Back Pack. It really is green I always look like princess fiona. The thing is it works and thats what really matters its got a really strong peppermint smell which I love and my skin feels really soft afterwards.To be honest ive tried most Lush face masks and not had a bad one yet so id definatley recommend giving them a go.

The last mask is the Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask, I havent included a picture with this as its pointless. It comes out and drys on your face crystal clear. It tightens on the skin leaving you a bit Joan Rivers, but I quite like that its not messy or full of colourings. It claims to remove the dead dull skin and smooth the texture leaving bright radiant skin. It does just that but its not the kind of mask you can leave on for ages, I personally think its quite strong so 8 minutes is all it needs. After this mask you should just apply your regular toner, NO moisturiser. Now it doesnt state this but you need to restore your skins ph levels or it can be damaging, I was told this by a beauty insider. The problem is the price I know its not cheap but its a luxury I use every other week and it has lasted me for ages (im trying to justify this incase my bank read it can you tell....?!)

I hope I havent bored you too much! If you have any masks you love share them with me as I love adding to the huge mountain I already have. I should seek help for my obsessions really.....
