SKINFOOD: Rice Mask Wash Off

HEYY GUYSSS!!!


This is going to be my first ever product review :D!! So excited to share my thoughts and feelings about beauty products finallyy!!! I'm gonna start off with a easy one.This product I'm going to share is highly raved about, maybe you already own it? But it's should be a staple product for ALL mankind!!! I've had this product for almost a year now and I definitely SWEAR by this product. It has got me through good and bad skin days and will forever remain in my skincare routine. It is........... theee Skinfood wash off rice mask!!!!!

Ok so Skinfood is a Korean brand which base their products on natural ingredients!! They have a variety of different lines such as wild berry, aloe vera, brocolli and snail mucus. They are extremely popular in Asia and specialise in skincare and cosmetics. All their products have really cute and natural packaging, which I adore!! Definiely a sucker for ALL Skinfood products ^.^

The rice masks is Skinfood's bestselling product. It comes in a tub with 100g of product. This product will actually last you for agesss btw!!! as stated on the product it is:


 "A wash-off mask containing rice extract that moisturizes skin and brightens tone. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous."


The rice granules will help lift off excess dirt and oil from the skin's surface which will keep the complexion clear and soft. No wonder, because rice grains contains a cleansing property which cleanses and tones the skin leaving the skin tighter with a vibrant healthy glow. Rice water can actually be used as a toner so remember next time your making rice don't throw away the precious rice water :P

Very smooth and creamy with fine rice granules

This product can be used on all skin type as the granules are very small and gentle. It has a creamy texture with only a light scent that is almost non- existent, which is perfect for sensitive skin. It easily glides on the face with no irritation caused by the fine exfoliating granules.

How to use: Preferably used at night when the skin is repairing. Apply a generous amount of the mask all over freshly cleansed face and wait for 1-2 minute for the product to sink in for maximum nutrient absorption . After, in gentle outwards and upwards motions massage the masks into the skin concentrating on areas more susceptible to dirt (blackheads round the nose) and avoid eye area. Wash off with lukewarm water then splash face several times with ice cold water to seal the pores. You should be left with soft, glowy skin :D YAY!!!. Then follow with normal skincare routine.

I usually like to use this mask at least once a week. I do although exfoliate my face 2-3 times a week using other products.This mask is actually so gentle that you can use it every other day without being too harsh, as some other products can be. After using this masks my skin always feels and looked renewed. I'll ALWAYS use this mask after a night out or a day I wake up with dull and dry skin. Don't you just hate them days. Now with this product I'm bound to never encounter them lifeless skin days!!! HOOORAYYY!!! Skin is smoother, make up wears better and my confidence is sky high!! Nothing beats that feeling!!

Say No to Facial Wipes

Facial wipes are an essential for many make up wearers. There cheap and convenient but do you know they are really bad for the skin!! Although they claim to be 'gentle' and suitable for 'sensitive skin' they actually contain many harsh chemicals that strips the skin's natural oil and disrupts the pH of the skin. Wipes should only be used for 3 F's; flights, festivals and fannys. As funny as it may sound, it's definitely true. I used to be a victim of the facial wipe. I've never heard of facial wipes being harsh to the skin they all claim to be fragrance free with no preservatives and sound like the best invention EVER. So quick and easy to remove make up as well. Even doing some research online I couldn't find much information on the harms of facial wipes.

 

 

 

My skin has always been acne prone and I've used many different products from the drugstore to high end to try combat it. But why having tried so many different type of products I'm still breaking out. It was very heart breaking and I would cover my face in make up in hope to cover these blemishes. Which made it 10X WORSE!!! My skin was unable to breathe and at the end of the day I would 'take my make up off' hoping it will be better the next day! The thing is make up wipes don't actually cleanse the skin properly, residues of make up and dirt are still left on the skin and over time the dirt would block pores leading to break outs. The wipes in the packaging are filled with alcohol and preservatives to keep the wipes moist for a long period of time. These moist cloths are also a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The amount of alcohol can dry the skin leading to premature aging, especially round the delicate eye area. Where some actually claim can be used on :O lying b****es!!  Particular ingredients to watch out for are propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, parabens, phenoxyethanol and 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1, 3-Dio. (Don't actually know what these compounds are but damnnn they sound complex and up to no good!!!)

 

 

I would like to stress how important cleansing is in your skincare routine. Remember to cleanse, cleanse, cleanse, even double cleanse!!! (maybe cover in another post). There are plenty of good gentle cleanser out there that are very effective. Once I've stopped using facial wipes my skin has became so much clearer. It amazing what can change with ditching these facial wipes :) definitely one of the best decision I've ever made and now my favourite step in my skincare routine is cleasing!!! Please stop using these harsh what so called 'gentle facial wipes' they can only do harm to the skin.

 

 

 

LOL my mum actually bought a 'back up' supply of wipes for me from Costco!!! A MULTIPACK of 6!!! Gonna last me a lifetime, at least they were cheap think about £4. Sooo annoying I dunno what to use them for hahaha!! Been cleaning my phone and mirrors with them to try use them up.

 

 

 

That's all for today. Moral of the story don't trust what it says on the packaging, some companies are lying b****es!!! They only want your money!!

See you guys in the next post
