| Mint Julep Masque |
Finally, I got this mask last week from Healthy Options in Megamall. I had this inner war- a part telling me to try it because of the good reviews from credible beauty bloggers online; the other part telling me to stick with my usual mask, fearful that my skin would negatively react from it. Obviously, the first won the battle.
I’m a mud pack fanatic partly because I grew up watching my sisters put on this kind of face mask. I remember my first encounter with mud pack was that time (elementary days) I got curious with a tube in my mom’s tocador that says “Epoch,” which was apparently from Ate Che’s obsessive compulsive hauling of beauty products at that time. That's just one of the many perks of being the youngest from an all-girl pride aside from I also get to rummage through Mom and sisters' closets, make ups, and more! I put the tocador-found-mud-pack on my face just like how they do it (yes, I’m intrimitida!), and I kinda enjoyed the feeling- like a donya being pampered! Haha. That’s where the enthusiasm with mud packs started. It’s just in college that I learnt the benefits and usage of various mudpacks in the market.
Anyways, how’s my experience with this product that collected a bunch of high praises and created a rave online?
I followed the instructions at the back of the tube:
- Wash face thoroughly and pat dry.
- Apply mask on face, avoiding eye area.
- Let dry for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse with water or with wet washcloth.
The mask felt cold upon application and while letting it dry
(because of the mint probably). I felt my pores were tightening within that full 20
minutes. It’s like the mask is sucking up all the dirt and oil inside my pores.
I can feel my face pulsating because of the extreme tightening and coldness.
It’s not uncomfortable at all; it’s relaxing (for me). After 20 minutes, I
rinsed my face using tap water and a face sponge.
And the result? I noticed that my face got brighter after compared to washing my face thoroughly with just my facial wash. It’s smoother and softer than its previous state. I
use the mask before sleeping to test if it’s a good oil control product coz’ I
usually oil up big time during sleep, waking up with a shiny, greasy face
(spell MANTIKA). Haha!
After 6 hours of sleep:
I’m so excited to check the result that I immediately went
to the mirror and yes! That’s the first time I woke up with a matte face. I’m
not exaggerating here, that was really the first time since I started producing
oil during puberty stage til’ now. I’m happy this product worked for me. This is definitely an
HG product for me from now on. The best mask I tried so far! It works well for
oily/combination skin, but the product description at the back says that it’s
also good for people with minimal or no skin problem at all (do they exist?). hehehe. It claimed to be a facial and neck muscle relaxant too aside from being a convenient and
affordable face treatment. You can grab yours at Healthy Options for P329.00!
Love Always,
