I’m using the Bliss Steep Clean Mask right this second 🙂 I also own/use the Juice Beauty Organic Facial Rejuvenating Mask, Revision Skincare Black Mask, and Bliss Triple Oxygenating Facial.
I’m currently loving the Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel for sensitive skin. Cannot believe how smooth my skin is after using it. Minimal redness and warmth during the 10 minute period I have the mask on.
Hmmm…..now, I have to try the Juice Beauty Peel. I have a small jar of it.
i have yet to find one for my super sensitive skin. they ll seem to irritate. any suggestions?
What kind of mask do you want?
sometimes but not often. i have a couple clay masks that i use only if i have redness going on (it seems to really help kick it back) or if my face is at all oily (which is like… never). every now and then i’ll the moisture mask thing (take your favorite moisturiser and SLAP a healthy amount all over your face, leave it on for 5 minutes, then wash off), but my skin tends to be on the dryer side so i find that it just feels good – even coconut oil feels really nice on the skin (never had much of a problem with clogged pores – i got REALLY lucky there… so far… who knows what will happen in the future! lol)
What clay masks do you use? I’ve been on the look out for a good clay mask, but can’t seem to find one!
Fresh makes amazing clay products(I like it in bar form) that I leave on for a mask. I leave it on for a random amount of time, and my pores are always so much smaller afterward. I loooove Fresh!
At home mask
REN Multi Mineral Detoxifying Facial
MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Facial Peel
Just finished using Revive Microdermabrasion Renewal System
I want to and I have been wanting to try the Queen Helene Mint Julep one. Although, I am a little hesitant since I have sensitive skin, which doesn’t mix very well with “minty” things. Lol.
I just tried it last night. My face was really soft when I was finished.
I use a ton of face mask! They are mostly for brightening and mositurizing skin. I also have a peeling mask – a Japanese brand one – for deep cleansing.
Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel the extra strength one! Good for acne scars 🙂 Wish I had something for redness every now and then also wish I had a good moisturizing one for my sometimes severely dry skin!
I just bought a face peel…haven’t used it yet though. Neostrata skin peel solution (I think that’s the one!). It had the highest percent of glycolic acid at the counter so I bought it! If that doesn’t give me the desired results though I will be going to my dermatologist to get a peel from him which he has been pushing on me for some time lol
I have the DDF Sulfur Theraputic Mask but not very fond of the smell, I use LUSH’s Cosmetic Warrior for post acne spots and Fresh Cupcake is okay. My absolute favorite that I use is super cheap, Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque.
Not at the moment, but I just purchased the Mario Badescu Drying Mask for my oily, acne prone skin – will see how it works out!
Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Mask. I love it! Super cheap and helps minimize my pores and leaves my skin clean and fresh.
Before my adventures with Wonderbar, I was using a My Beauty Diary sheet mask a few times a week. I love those things.
For a clay mask, nothing beats Visual Changes Fruit Acid Mask. It’s a line sold at my local spa.
I use Origins mud mask and its amazing, but I love to make my own with simple things like honey, sugar , aspirin, green tea, etc.
Queen Helene Mint Julep masque clearing up blemishes for me for 23 years
The one I’m using now is, Queen Helene’s mint julep masque.
I recently tried the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque and it broke me the hell out. Zits everywhere, so sad, I really wanted to like it.
Lush’s ‘the mask of Magnaminty’
Love it!
I have Korres cinnamon and thyme anti-acne clay mask and Alpha H liquid gold mask. I love the Alpha H one but only got a sample in a kit I bought so won’t use that til I really need to, and the Korres one is nice but I’m not sure if it’s doing any good.
I love masks but have yet to find one that I think it worth the money and effort!
Yes.
I use a variety of masks for various purposes.
Lancome Hydra mask for hydration; Lancome Renergie Morpholift for firming; Laneige Sleeping Pack; and My Beauty Diary sheet masks.
REN Biological Peeling mask.
Kiehl’s Overnight Biological Peel (used to, but didn’t like the oily feel on my skin).
I use the NARS Mud Mask and the Aqua Gel Hydrator. While I like both, I think the Aqua Gel Hydrator is the one really worth it’s money. It instantly hydrates my face, so my skin is plump and glowing. I use it when I get flaky skin due to dry patches or my skin simply looks dull. I now understand why this product is so popular – would totally recommend it!
I use Laura Mercier’s Deep Cleansing mud mask and Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Mask. I try once a week but sometime I forget 🙂
I use Paula’s Choice Hydrating Mask (I forget its exact name). Since I have really dry skin, I actually just use it as a moisturizer, rather than rinsing it off after 10 minutes. It’s a great moisturizer, or mask!
I use it too. I use it as a mask about once a week and I use it as a moisturizer when I have very dry skin, usually at bed time. LOVES IT!!
I don’t use any peels, but I use scrub (Volcanic Ash) and alternate between 2 masks, one is Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask, the other is Avon Rejuvenate Mask.
I use the “Gentle Purifying and Clarifying Mask with 3 Roses” from Nuxe.
Usually do a home made mask. Depending on the problem. I find that egg whites and oats work great for oily skin. Half an avo mixed with a bit of lemon juice works good for soft skin and so does mashed up strawberries. Egg yolk is great for hair. Messy, all of these, but works well and is cheap. 🙂
I use MAC’s Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask. I intend to use it weekly, but I don’t always get around to it!
Sometimes I do, if I feel like it
Yes, I use the glycolic acid from MAUC..it has worked wonders on my skin!
Well, I’m currently sat with Anotomicals ‘Farewell the scarlet pimplehell’ all over my face!
I do have the DDF sulfur mask for my oily acne-prone skin, but mostly I use homemade masks. I use french green, bentonite or kaolin clays and add other natural goodness for whatever specific needs my face has at the moment. French green and bentonite clays are great for oily skin. I also make an aspirin mask for acne breakouts.
I use Bliss’s Steep Clean mask and Lush’s Cupcake Fresh Face Mask
I use DDF’s Sulfur Therapeutic Mask and I love it.. I use it if I get a breakout or a bad pimple or two and it really helps reduce the size. Plus, it feels cool when it’s on because it tightens and feels like it’s giving you a face lift 😉
I use Bliss Steep Clean, and I used to have a mud/seaweed mask but I can’t find it anymore! Anyone have a suggestion for a really good mud mask? I love those things! Just can’t find one that’s worth the money again. =(
Yeah, but it’s pretty rare. There’s this Moisture Perfect Masque from Luzier that I like. I use it whenever my skin feels terrible. Works like a charm.
I use Origins clear improvement charcoal face mask. Its a bit messing and I advice against using a white towel to dry your face afterwards but works really well! 🙂
It says it’s for oily skin but I have normal to dry skin as as long as I put on moisturiser on afterwards, it doesn’t dry my skin out too much.
I like to use Origins’ clay mask and also the Appletox face peel from Tony Moly
I use homemade masks with clay and natural oils.
Yep. I do use masks and peels. I love those from Alpha H (Micro Cleanse + Clay & Vit.A Mask)
I use this process for face masks:
-cleanse skin with Clarisonic and the Clinique skin cleanser (to cleanse skin)
-With a cosmetic sponge, I squeeze a good size amount onto the sponge and gently spread to an opaque coverage all over my face
-let sit for 10 minutes or until dry to the touch, and the cooling sensation had disappeared
-wash off with warm tap water and pat dry
-I like to exfoliate sometimes just to make sure all of the dry skin is gone. I make a homemade scrub of 2 parts sugar to 1 part fresh lemon juice. I scrub all over my face with a cotton pad and rinse
-Apply Mario Badescu Drying cream to any blemishes
-Apply clinique Moisture Surge moisturizer all over face
Enjoy your clean, rejuvenated and pampered skin!!!
I like Origin’s Clear Improvement for my T-zone and Drink Up for the drier areas. I also use Philosophy’s The Oxygen Peel once in a while. Mostly, I’ll just use a scrub.
Because I have been having eczema attacks, I have been using the Mario Badescu Azulene Calming Mask. I also have the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque at home.
Yes, I love masks – not too keen on peels.
I switch it up between MAC’s volcanic ash mask, The Body Shops’ Tea Tree mask, St. Ives clay mask and a hydrating mask from No 7. It looks like whipping cream in the container and it’s my favorite one.
Well one I liked was h20+ plus sea mineral mud mask, great for my oily skin I just loved it. I tried a new one, boscia detox clarifying mask, and I’m not a fan. After I finish it I think I’ll switch back to the other one.
I’ve used a couple of chemical peel from Image. Not at home though, I go to school for clinical skincare and had my classmate give me a couple. That stuff is awesome!!!!! At home I use all dermalogica products…love that line!!!!!
I use St. Ive’s clay mask 1-2 times a week, and Clean and Clear In-Shower Facial 1-2 times a week. I like them. I also use The Body Shop’s oats and honey mask when my skin feels dry (which isn’t very common, but I love it after I’ve been snowboarding or something like that in the winter).
Freeman Cucumber Peel Off Mask 😉
I love peeling it off!
once a week i use my boots no. 7 glycolic peel, its been working wonders. Makes my skin soft and smooth, minimizes pores, clears acne and calming redness. 🙂
Lately I’ve been using LUSH’s cupcake – I got one for free as a special offer for spending a certain amount. Its nice, but I wouldn’t call it a necessity.
I’ve been using Shiseido The Skincare Purifying Mask for YEARS, now. Brings all the blackheads on my nose to the surface of the skin!
Does anybody have any reccomendations for a mask for me? I have very very dry ski, I hate my large pores, and my face usually has a few blemishes
My favorite is Lush’s cupcake. I also use one of Clinique’s masks, when I don’t have a Lush mask on hand.
I’ve always thought about trying the Kate Somerville clearing mask, but I never felt quite right about the price, especially since I wind up liking so few of the masks I try.
I’m LOVING Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel Sensitive (also comes in a full strength, might give that one a try as well). I do get a slight bit of redness from using it, but it goes away quickly, plus I use at night so it’s not a big deal. I just LOVE how my skin feels after using this, so soft. Everyone should give this peel a try. Amazing! 🙂
