It's no secret that I love a good face mask; I try to squeeze one into my routine at least a couple of times per week, choosing my mask depending on how my skin is feeling at the time. Lately my skin has been particularly unhappy and I'm not really sure why - I've been suffering horrendous breakouts all over my face, whereas usually any spots I get are contained to a couple of areas. Whilst annoying, this skin meltdown was the
perfect excuse to buy a couple of new masks!
...As if I needed an excuse!
I've had my eye on the
Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask (currently on offer at £16.49/75ml) for the
longest time; it claims to deeply cleanse the skin and leave it soothed and hydrated, which is pretty much what my skin needs at the moment! The antibacterial action of the Manuka Honey combined with the scent of Vanilla and Mandarin sound just gorgeous, I really can't wait to try this. I'm already a little bit in love with the tube!
The
Origins Out of Trouble Mask (£25/100ml), meanwhile, was a repurchase; I finished my old tube a few months ago and have been missing it in my routine as it really is brilliant at clearing up breakouts and calming down redness. I find that slapping this on a couple of nights in a row works absolute
wonders for my skin and leaves it looking much clearer and generally healthier. It has quite a strong scent which isn't the most pleasant, but it's more than worth it in my book for the outcome. You can check out my full review of this one
here.
What are your favourite face masks? Do you have any go-tos for when your skin is having a meltdown?

I don't use face masks as I had too many bad reactions as a teenager. I have heard a lot of good things about the Antipodes mask though!
ReplyDeleteYou really cannot beat relaxing in a hot bath with a face mask. I've not tried any of these ones before.
ReplyDeleteI've mot tried these ones before I'll have to try out the origins one when I have a breakout.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good - I will look out for them for my daughter. Kaz
