Maskne Cure
I've spent the last two years trying to combat acne all over my chin as a result of wearing a mask all day in retail. Never had bad acne before and was at my wits end, it was so painful and covering my lower face. I used a lot of other salicylic acid products as well as other active ingredients meant to help clear acne and nothing worked for so long. Doing this mask twice a week has completely cleared my chin and made the rest of my face feel so soft and healthy. Probably won't work for everyone obviously but I would really recommend trying. I'm always going to have this in my routine now.

My absolute go-to
I have tried many, MANY skincare products and hacks. I have a microcurrent device, an LED red light mask, serums, moisturisers and overnight masks, but this is still my absolute go-to when my skin looks tired and dull. This has probably been the longest-running staple of my skincare routine; the price point is great, and my skin feels so soft, smooth, and bright after I use this. Whenever I have an event to go to or I feel like my skin needs an extra bit of oomph, I reach for this.

Redness gone
I have bought this mask and although I’m not a fan of face masks this works wonders, I have oily, blemished, combination skin and I find it really hard to find products that are good for my skin. A little bit it’s literally all you need. After using it the redness on my face was almost gone which is on of my main problems and I had clearer, smoother skin, smaller pores on my cheeks, even the pimples I had seemed to start going away. I really recommend this product although it is quite hard to get the mask out of the tube it’s worth the hustle. TIP when washing your face use cold water to close the pores

Oh Ordinary, what is this witchcraft?!? This mask is fabulous. Just used for the first time and my skin is transformed. I’m a big fan of the AHA peeling solution mask which is great too but better for anti aging than unclogging pores and reducing spots and acne. With this mask you can really feel the magic working deep in your pores. I applied the mask not too thin (but not too much either) all over my face leaving for 10 minutes. Felt the grain in the mask was a bit unnecessary until washing it off where it felt like you were rinsing off a scrub which feels like an extra cleanse. I am obsessed with this skincare range and have very few bad reports on the majority of products I’ve tried.…
