I have always been fascinated by skincare. There are so many different types of products with endless possibilities of ingredients from toners to serums to face masks. They all claim to be the magic product for your skin, which makes trying different products so fun. You never know what you’ll find that will become a favorite in your routine.
However, we all know that everyone’s skin is not the same. What may work great for me, may not work great for you. You hear your favorite blogger/Youtuber/celebrity gushing about how amazing this one product is.
You shell out a bunch of money and then it doesn’t work for you.
Been there, done that!
First some background on my skin:
When you read about someone’s favorite skincare items or their daily routine, it is always helpful to know more about their skin as they may have entirely different skin than you do. I would say I currently have combination to dry skin. I am dry on my cheeks, under my eyes, and chin.
However:
I have started to become a little oily on my forehead.
I was fortunate enough to never have been acne-prone as a teenager. It wasn’t until the last 2 years that my skin started to break out and I developed mild adult acne (just wonderful, right?). I think this happened from a combination of a hormonal imbalance and stress.
NOW LET’S GET INTO THE FACE MASKS…
1// Tata Harper Re-Surfacing Face Mask
I was really on the fence whether or not to buy it as the reviews were quite mixed: some said it was amazing and others said they didn’t notice a difference in their skin. One day I decided to take the plunge and buy the mask (FYI – I am a huge face mask junkie).
Besides the high-quality packaging, I love the feel of the actual product. It is not overly scented or liquidy to where it runs down your face. I always worry when skincare is too fragrant if it will react negatively with my skin and cause irritation.
I have noticed that my skin has a more glowing complexion and a general smoothing of my skin’s texture. The mask contains beta-hydroxy acid so it acts as a great exfoliating face mask.
2// Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Face Mask
Some of my favorite masks are detoxifying masks for those purifying properties. Let’s get all of that gunk out!
I think the site describes this mask best by saying:
Mud helps draw out dirt, oil, and grime as it infuses skin with moisture, vitamins, essential minerals, and potent anti-oxidant benefits.
Doesn’t that make you want to try it?
My skin always feels really clean after using it and if you are sensitive to smells then you do not have to worry as this mask is basically odorless. The texture was much different than I expected – it is almost like a bouncy jelly feel. I like that this mud mask doesn’t dry my skin out compared to similar masks that I have tried in the past.
3// Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask
Clearly, I am a fan of Peter Thomas Roth’s face masks. Next on my list to try is the Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask. I like to keep this mask in my refrigerator so when I apply the jelly texture, it feels so refreshing and gives a great cooling effect.
The face mask contains 5 rose stem cells and is blended with multiple rose extracts to improve your skin’s vitality. It can help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dehydration, dullness, and overall skin toning. I love masks that have multiple uses in one!
I can’t speak about the improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as I’m only 25, but my skin does feel more hydrated after use. I often apply this face mask a bit before bed and use it as a sleeping mask to really give my skin that extra hydration it craves.
