Anyone else a complete face mask obsessive? Yep, my hand is way way way
up. There’s nothing I find more relaxing or luxurious than relaxing with a
magazine with my face covered in some gloopy goodness. As a little bit of a
product hoarder, I seem to have been around the block a few times when it comes
to drugstore and high street masks, but somehow
I missed these little babies. Superdrug’s own branded face masks (Link) come in
six different formulas; dead sea, aloe vera, cucumber, witch hazel, superberry
and vitamin e, which means there is definitely something there for everyone.
Naturally, as an oily and spotty-skinned twenty year old, I grabbed the witch
hazel version to see if it could really calm my skin down.
At only £2.59, it’s a steal for the 75ml you get in the tube. I also love
the bottle. It’s simple, don’t get me wrong, but all the pastel colours of the
packaging look seriously cute next to each other and every colour matches the
main ingredient somehow. Nice work, designers! The other ingredients in my little
tube of goodness include kaolin (helps remove dead skin cells), Dead Sea mud
(this helps exfoliate and detoxify the skin) and limonene (helps the mask to
penetrate for deep down cleansing). It doesn’t really smell too much of
anything, but if I had to put a word to it, I might say it smells faintly bitter,
but not in an off-putting way in the slightest.
Application is simple and easy, and the lid makes it easy to flip shut
when your fingers are covered in product. Squeezing out the last of the product
won’t be an issue since the bottle is designed in a user-friendly,
no-scissors-to-hack-it-open-necessary manner. The product itself is actually
runnier than I imagined. Not full on liquid, but not the usual quite clay-like
mask I’m used to. That’s not an issue, though, as it makes it very easy to
apply and it spreads around my face really easily. It’s actually really cooling
to apply too, and your skin feels very sooth and very calmed down. I did notice
a bit of tingling, but this doesn’t bother me in a face mask because I like to
know my product is working! Even though the tingling isn’t intense, this might
be a product to avoid if you’re made uncomfortable by tingling!
Results-wise, it’s a product I’ve only really been using for a few weeks,
but I do love how my skin looks after I use it. I apply this mask probably
twice a week on average, and my skin definitely looks noticeably more bright
and fresh. It’s as though my pores have really had all the grot dug out from
within them (gross!) and it does take a few hours for my skin to get greasy
again. The first time I used this, I really felt like I needed to moisturise
afterwards, but my skin is definitely used to the mask now and I just feel
genuinely clean! With regards to it minimising spots and clearing breakouts, I
think it’s helping as part of my entire skincare routine, but a difference is
definitely being noticed.
This is a firm favourite for me, and a really exciting discovery. I’m wary
to try own-brand products because I feel like by skimping on price, you’re automatically
skimping on quality, but it doesn’t seem to be true at all in this case! I’d love
to try the vitamin e version next, and then probably the dead sea one too. Ah,
so many masks, so little time!
Have you tried Superdrug’s
own masks? What are your thoughts on this mask?
Lots of love,
