Weird photography aside, I've found my newest skincare love - MASKS. They're basically my desperate measures in desperate times.
I feel like my usual skincare prodz only work up to a certain point and then masks just give it that extra oomph. So I had to make sure that I had one for every possible situation.
The "Bathe My Face with Moisture" Ones
I've already raved about the Annie's Way Arbutin & Hyaluronic Acid Mask but this is seriously glowing baby skin in a tub. Like HELLO, AMAZE SKIN. It's so hydrating and I swear it makes my pores a bit smaller too (if that's even possible??). Hyaluronic acid is officially my new bae.
The other recent addition to my hydration closet is the Thalgo Melt-Away Instant Comfort Mask*. This thing sure is pricey but it's super moisturizing as well, and my skin seems to SUCK it up. In fact, it absorbs it so well that when I go to rinse it off, there barely is any residue to wash off!
The "Magical Blemish-busting" ones
I have very high expectations for clay masks. Oh you don't vanquish my spots immediately? SHUNNED. I think of masks as being this instant, defy-laws-of-skincare-and-eradicate-all-blemishes kind of thing. Of course, I'm an idiot but I've found two that are the closest thing to being magical - the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask, which will forever be a favourite for drying out spots, and the Moreish Emergence Clay Mask.
A fairly new one, but when I used it on a freshly squeezed pimple (don't shoot me), it literally acted as a gunk-sucking VACUUM. It left a clean hole where the pus used to be, kinda volcano-looking... and it was EPIC. It sounds bad, but it meant that the pimple healed much faster and I've been impressed ever since. You can get it from Priceline!
