A couple of times a week I do like to use a deep cleansing face mask. I have hard to handle skin that is prone to zits and black heads, I have an oily t-zone area and dry skin in patches as well as some rather open pores and in some cases they are rather congested. Add to that, that I'm no spring chicken at 35 years old and I like face masks that promote radiance and if at all possible help lines and/or wrinkles. Yep I'm asking for an awful lot and I'm yet to find a product such as that....I'll keep you posted on my quest for it though lol.

I tend to buy face masks for particular reasons and this one is aimed at teenage skin though I read about this product in a national newspaper being recommended for anyone with sensitive skin...and I do possess that so at £1.99 a tube I decided I really must try it out!

The Packaging:

White 75ml plastic squeezable tube with a flip top opening to the bottom of it concealing a small hole. On the front in bright multi-coloured lettering I'm told it is My Skin, Especially For Teenage Skin 'Honey helps draw out impurities whilst strawberry helps control blemishes' and I'm also told that it contains no parabens and that it helps keep pores clear and there some flowers are drawn on. On the back of the tube I'm told a bit about the product and directions for use are given, warnings and ingredients are listed, size is stated and contact details for Tesco's are given. It's a nice and informative, easy to use and understand tube. With it's bright colouring it does look aimed at the younger generation though to be perfectly honest with you.

A Bit About The Product According To The Back Of The Tube:

My Skin cleansing face mask gently targets pores to remove the build up of daily dirt in your skin. Honey helps draw out the skins impurities whilst also moisturising. Strawberry extract helps control blemishes. Cimicifuga extract helps control excess oil and shine. Dermatologically tested.

Me Using It:

I'm so impressed with this product. Like I touched on earlier I do suffer with temperamental skin that is really sensitive and this suits that perfectly and for ladies like myself (or men, I can't see why an earth not!) I totally recommend it.

The face mask squeezes out of it's tube with real ease. The consistency of it is rather thick and glossy and it's a lightish brown in colour and it's smooth. It has a slight scent of honey and strawberry that really isn't overpowering and sickly sweet or anything like that and as I say it just smells light and natural.

All you do is smoother it over a freshly cleansed and very clean face and/or neck that is damp. You don't need loads but you do need to avoid the eyes (although I don't as it's so mild to be honest) and then after 5-10 minutes you simply rinse it off with warm water and then to close pores splash the face with cold water and pat it dry and that's it...job done.

Now when applying this it really is easy and it's a none sticky formula and a little goes a long way indeed as it's a little greasy when applying it. If I use loads the mask doesn't 'set' however if I use a little it does dry and when it's on it doesn't feel heavy or uncomfortable and it really does rinse off with ease.

Verdict:

Well this is a really fabulous product! Not only do I feel that it deep down cleanses my skin but it also really makes my skin radiant. It's none irritating and even if I have any spots or sore areas on my face and/or neck this is so mild it makes nothing it shouldn't agitated.

So skin is deep down cleansed and smooth and fresher, it also unclogs and tightens pores and leaves the skin smelling great. I notice with using this a couple of times a week I am getting less spots and blackheads appearing and if I use this before putting on my make up I have noticed I get less of an oily t-zone as well as it seems to banish excess oils from appearing slightly.

I also noticed if I use this on a day when I need to apply make up I use less make-up as my skin feels and looks smoother and make up definitely does go on easier and looks less congested.

This is a real mild face mask and it really is perfect for youngsters or people such as I with very sensitive skin. It's easy to use, remove and the effects are really great!

Only available in Tesco stores.
