🗻Weak sides:
The only negative is that it is hard to wash off the face,  but this is not critical 👌🏻🙃 

What life hacks do you have for using clay masks? Share in the comments 👇🏻😊

How tired I am to deal with black head, oily t zone and skin irritation from mechanical cleaning 😩. But apparently my attempts to find a suitable remedy were not in vain 🥳.
Meet: Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x - my savior and friend forever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

🗻Package:
•The minimalist design of the jar and the box itself inspire confidence and give aesthetic pleasure. 🤍
•The lid is made of metal, while the jar itself is made of plastic.🧏🏻‍♀️
•Under the lid is a reusable protective membrane. 👍🏻
Spatulas not included. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

🗻Volume: 100 ml 

🗻Texture:
Creamy, without lumps and more elastic than a regular clay mask, it spreads well and quickly over the skin. 🤍 

🗻How to use:
After cleansing, apply to dry face, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips. After 10 minutes, massage gently with your fingertips and rinse with warm water. Use 1-2 times a week. 

🗻Who will suit:
Especially for problematic, oily, combination skin. 

🗻My experience of using:
•Depending on the condition of my skin, I used this mask 1-3 times a week.
•I usually apply the mask only on problem areas with enlarged pores and blackheads (forehead, nose, chin). 

•Life hack 1: to enhance the effect of the mask, before applying it, apply your favorite serum with BHA. It will help dissolve comedones faster and easily pull them out. 👌🏻😏 

•Life hack 2: to make it easier to wash off the mask, first soften the dried top layer of the mask with wet palms (you will notice how the color of the mask brightens). 👐🏻 

•Life hack 3: after the mask, comedones lie on the surface of the skin and you can remove them with light narati using an uno spoon (a tool for mechanical cleaning of pores). 🧖🏻‍♀️ 

P.s. the photo shows an honest result without the use of a life hack. 😉 

🗻What are the benefits for me:
•The result is visible from the first application;
•Lightening blackheads;
•Pore ​​reduction;
•Excellent distribution on the skin;
•Very economical consumption;
•Estetic packaging;
•Does not dry the skin (if kept no longer than 10 minutes).

🟣 Weaknesses:
🙅🏻‍♀️Moisture doesn't last long.
🤷🏻‍♀️Fast consumption.

Most often, our age is not betrayed by our face 🧖🏻‍♀️ but by our hands 👐🏻, since the skin of the hands is thinner and ages faster. ⌛ 

Therefore, it is very important to take care of the skin of the hands 🧏🏻‍♀️, and this will help us:

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 🌊

"I received these products for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review"...

💧Key ingredients:
✔Centella Asiatica—antioxidant, calming and regenerating effect.
✔Niacinamide—evening effect on skin color and sebum regulation.
✔Hyaluronic acid—effect of maintaining hydration in the skin.
✔Tranexamic acid—skin whitening effect.

💧My expectations:
⭐Light texture.
⭐Fast absorption, no stickiness and white marks 
⭐Neutral smell.
⭐No eye and skin irritation.
⭐Calmation and sebum regulation.


💧My experience:
This SPF cream has a light texture that spreads well on the skin, absorbs relatively quickly and does not leave white marks. 👌🏻
It has a pump-type dispenser which, at the same time, is both convenient 👍🏻(it is easier to extract the product from the package) and inconvenient 👎🏻(one pump is not similar to the amount needed for application).

After application, the skin remains silky, well hydrated, plump and luminous—I love this "glow" effect 💫!!

💧Strengths:
🧏🏻‍♀️Aesthetic packaging.
🧏🏻‍♀️Light texture.
🧏🏻‍♀️Fast absorption, no white marks.
🧏🏻‍♀️Good hydration.
🧏🏻‍♀️Suitable as a base under make-up.
🧏🏻‍♀️It does not contain allergens. ✔
🧏🏻‍♀️Glow effect. 💫

💧Summary:
8/10 ⭐. Overall, I liked it, but I think it would be more suitable for normal, dry skin, as it hydrates quite intensely. 🤷🏻‍♀️

☄Weaknesses:
💁🏻‍♀️It's hard to open the package (it's better to use scissors).✂️
💁🏻‍♀️ Absorbs not very quickly;
💁🏻‍♀️Leaves stickiness (but it's not critical, use my life hack 👆🏻✴😉).

Am I the only one crazy about sheet masks? 🤔😅
Nowadays, there are so many of them that your eyes run wide and you want to try everything. 🤤
But, everything is good in moderation and in order.😌
I present to you a budget but good - Real Nature Red Ginseng Face Mask by The Face Shop 👏🏻 

☄Packaging: This is an updated design, very aesthetic and concise. 🥰 There are small slits on the sides of the package to make it easier to tear it off. 👍🏻 

☄Volume: 20 ml. 

☄Texture: semi-gel, thicker than essence, red-brown hue (due to ginseng extract).
The fabric of the mask is quite thin, soft and adheres well to the skin. 👌🏻 

☄ Scent: there is a rather bright aroma of ginseng, perhaps someone may not like it, but it does not irritate me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

☄Properties (from manufacturer):
🔸️Nourishes and tones;
🔸️ Has a bactericidal effect;
🔸Cleanses and protects the skin;
🔸️ Stimulates blood circulation;
🔸️ Stimulates the production of collagen;
🔸️Regenerates the skin. 

☄How to use: Open the mask and apply it on the previously cleansed and toned face for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and gently spread the rest of the serum over the face and neck, let it completely absorb. 

☄Suitable for: tired, aging, dry skin. 

☄My experience:
I have already tried a mask with shea butter from this series, I really liked it and I decided to continue my acquaintance with others. 😊
It was difficult to open the package. 🙄 This mask with ginseng surprised me with color and smell, but it didn't bother me.
The fabric base is very well saturated but does not drip, and there is still some essence left inside the package. 👌🏻
It is recommended to keep it on your face for 10-15 minutes, but I kept it on for 25 as it was still quite wet. 🤭
After removing the mask, there is a lot of essence on the skin, I distributed it over the skin of the face and neck with pressing, massage movements.
It absorbs very quickly, about 15 minutes and leaves a slight stickiness on the face and palms. (But for me it is not critical if the effect of the mask is good). 😉
I think it's better for night care. 🌃👌🏻 

✴ My life hack: if the mask remains sticky, you can wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in toner or wipe your face with a dry cloth to collect excess liquid. 

☄Strengths:
💫The fabric is well impregnated and fits well to the face;
💫Excellently nourishes and tones the skin;
💫Gives elasticity, rested look and beautiful radiance to the skin;
💫 Budget frendly.

🌼Weaknesses:
🔹️It is not economical, it can reach a maximum of 2-2.5 months.
🔹️Smell of bitter citrus, highlighted.
🔹️The spatula cannot be kept under the lid, it is not hygienic.
🔹️It takes more time to dissolve the very strong makeup on the eyes.

🌼Summary:
8/10 ⭐. I still use it with pleasure (but I don't think I will repeat the purchase) and I recommend it to citrus lovers and those who are just starting to get acquainted with oil-based cleaning products.

The most important thing in obtaining a healthy and bright complexion is its effective cleansing. 🧏🏻‍♀️

As a first step of cleaning it is necessary to use a hydrophilic oil / conditioner and here is a current one tested by me:
PETITFEE—Beautifying Mood On Cleanser 🌼

🌼Packaging: Aesthetically foooaaaarte, in the box you will also find a special spatula for applying the conditioner, in the bench, under the lid there is also a protective membrane, which allows the safe transport of the product.

🌼Volume: 100 ml.

🌼Texture: dense, yellow in color, melts in the palms and becomes more liquid, on contact with water it turns into an emulsion that is easy to wash.

🌼Smell: citrus, bitter, very prominent, can be irritating.

🌼Properties (from manufacturer):
🔸️Removes any type of makeup, including waterproof.
🔸️Cleans the skin deeply.
🔸️can be used to remove makeup from the eyes and lips.
️🔸️Salts irritations.
🔸️removes blackheads.
🔸️Leave the skin velvety.

🌼How to use:
🔸️Take a necessary amount of conditioner and put it on your palms to melt a little product.
🔸️Apply it to your face and gently massage the skin until the conditioner turns to oil, then add a small amount of water and continue to massage the skin until the makeup is completely dissolved.
🔸️Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry your face with a towel.

🌼Suitable for: all skin types, including sensitive skin. The product can also be used during pregnancy or lactation.

🌼My experience:
I used this conditioner for 1.5 months and 30% of the product remained in the bench.
The smell, at first, seemed very shrill (I'm not a fan of citrus), but over time I got used to it and it already doesn't seem so irritating.
It is pleasant to use, it does not leak from the face, as some hydrophilic oils can do, but it is less economical.
Thoroughly cleanses the skin of the basic make-up (the make-up on the eyes a little heavier) and of the extra fat, respectively, the risk of new blackheads appears, decreases considerably.
The spatula is wider than the bench and can only be kept above the lid, which is not always comfortable and hygienic.
Leaves skin clean and velvety.

🌼Strengths:
🔸️Aesthetic packaging.
🔸️Cleans the skin well.
🔸️Does not clog pores.
🔸️Does not dry the skin.
🔸️Relative, affordable price.
