Happy Sunday, y'all! I am a big fan of the whole #selfcaresunday movement. I really believe you are your best self if you devote time to taking care of yourself. Every Sunday, I really try to do one thing to better myself in some way for the week.
Today's #selfcare was a face mask. Not any face mask, but the one I have seen hyped all over instagram as of late - AprilSkin Calendula Peel Off. This new mask claimed to help remove white heads, smooth skin, brighten complexion, etc etc. So I figured I'd give it a shot!
Purchase the mask
here (takes you straight to the manufacturer's site - I bought mine off of Amazon, though for that free two-day shipping!)
I thought I would go ahead and share my before and afters (as scary as they might be...). This is my before. Fresh out of the shower - no face products applied.
This is following application. It does make your skin feel very tight after application as the peel hardens. I left this on for around 30-40 minutes while I did some things around the house.
Post removal - which it did peel off fairly easily. A few remnants could easily be buffed off with a wet wash cloth. It did leave my skin feeling pretty smooth overall. I feel like in the image my skin even appears a bit brighter.
Overall, I think it is a pretty decent mask. I think it might be better to apply a bit thicker than I did - it would peel easier + it might work better on whiteheads/blackheads then. I think it is a good mask, but honestly not all that different than the cucumber peel off mask from the drugstore
(or amazon - linked here).
