Facial Mask

With the spa frenzee in recent years, facial become one of the most sought treatment. However, I don't really like doing facial in spa, due to couple of reasons. 1. Their products may not suitable for your skin. So instead of going home with glowing skin, you'll get acne-full skin. 2. The sales team are just simply... annoying, they'll just sell you whatever things they have, and not caring what happen if you get the result of #1. 3. You have to make appointment first, which is annoying too. 4. You have to choose the beautician too, some may not clean your face as clean as the others. But, you still need professionals to do the cleaning for your face every now and then. It's inevitable. The place that I've gone to so far is Kose Beauty Center because they use Kose products which are heavenly and I know I won't get acne from them. Else, I choose the safest, have your own mini facial at least twice a week at your own home. You don't need to have the full regime everytime. Just use your scrub on day 1, use the deep cleansing mask on day 2, whitening mask on day 3, revitalizing mask on day 4, moisturizing mask on day 5, and you leave it on your face while you're watching your favourite drama and rinse it off during the commercials. Some of the mask can be left on for the whole night and you don't need to wash your face till the next day. Here are some of the masks that I love and why:

• Clarins' Trully Matte Pure and Radiant Mask - It's a pink clay-wash off mask for your cleansing. The product is very mild and will leave your skin felt more radiant and soft after using it for 10 minutes. Very easy to use and clean.


• Origin's Clear Improvement - It's a black clay-wash off mask for your deep cleansing. I've been using this for years. It'll leave your skin moisturized despite of taking off the impurities on your skin. Use it for 10-15 minutes until it dries and wash off.


• Origin's No Puffery - This cooling gel mask is for your eyes. It can be left of for the whole night or rinse off after 10 minutes. It's very soothing and obviously easy to use. Just splash a very thin layer under your eye and you'll be pampered.


• Kose's Seikisho White Mask - My new favorite mask. It's a black peeled off mask. Just do a thin layering around your face, leave it until it dries out and peel off, then splash your toner and you're done. It leaves your skin very clean and supple.


• L'Occitaine Honey Comfort Mask - A very good investment for your skin. You can use this everyday and you can leave it for the whole night or wash off after 10 minutes. It's very smooth with delicious honey scent and your skin is guaranteed for radiance on the next day.


• Origin's Swept Away - My favourite scrub. The scrub is so soft that you can rub it on your face everyday to keep those blackheads on your nose and leave your skin squeeky clean after wash.


• Origin's You're Getting Warmer. Another clay-wash off mask from Origins. You're face will get hot when you wear this and it has the scrub bits when you wash it off so that your skin is definitely clean.


• Neutrogena's Deep Hydrating Mask - With the trend of mask sheets in Asia, Neutrogena come out with an affordable but good quality version. Get this when it's on promotion for 2$ each at Watson. Kose or SKII mask sheets are way out of my range now, so this will do and it works wonderfully. It doesn't make your skin itchy (the whitening ones makes me itch so I stop using it and gave the whole stack to my friend).

So, what are you waiting for? Clear and radiant skin is within your reach with just a few minutes of effort of maintenance.
