Favourite Face Masks.

I've mentioned these masks a lot over on my Youtube channel but I thought I'd dedicate a post to them!

Firstly, the Aesop parsley seed mask. This has been a favourite of mine for a long time now, it's perfect for blemishes, acne, blocked pores and oily skin. It also does wonders for the texture of my skin and just generally clears it up and leaves it looking fresh and healthy. The scent is very herby and smells 'healthy' if that makes sense, which is kind of a recurring theme for all of these masks!

The Eve Lom Rescue mask is a good all-rounder. It's the most expensive of the bunch, and I find it doesn't make a big difference for spots. However, it's really good for cleaning the skin, and is very effective at exfoliating the skin. The scent is herbal and quite strong, but I really like this one, I wasn't sure at first, but through determination to use it up (and not waste my money) I've actually grown to love it!

The origins Clear improvement mask and the Out of Trouble mask, are both excellent for blocked pores, breakouts, redness (from acne/breakouts) and improving skin texture. I alternate between these two regularly and can't pick a favourite really. They're both scented really herbal, which I find relaxing, and both make a massive improvement to my skin. If you're struggling with breakouts, I'd definitely recommend these.

Last but not least is the Origins Overnight Drink Up intensive mask. This one I use after I've used any of the other 4. You apply it to clean skin, and leave it overnight. I usually apply an acne cream in the evenings (more as a prevention than anything else) but I don't use that when I use this mask. The mask is basically a very intense moisturiser and leaves my skin feeling super soft and looking amazing. It doesn't break me out or anything either, and has a beautiful citrus scent. The only thing that might be a negative is that it can feel a little bit greasy on the skin, but I personally don't mind that as I love the results so much!

What are your favourite masks?

The Origins Wonder duo

If you've been watching my YouTube channel, it's probably no surprise that these two origins products have made their way into a blog post. I've used them in multiple videos, each time raving about how much I love them. I've also been recommending them on the beauty chats on twitter, so if you follow me there, chances are you've heard me mention these!

So what's so good about them? I'll start with the Origins Ginzing eye cream. This is a little gem, and I use it in the mornings to wake up tired eyes. I have to get up early monday - friday, which is definitely not one of my favourite things to do, and I usually have some form of puffy eyes or dark circles! This eye cream somehow manages to get rid of all that, and leaves my under eye area feeling moisturised and awake. The other thing I love is that it makes the perfect base for concealer. As it's so hydrating, the concealer applies beautifully, and I get a finish which makes my skin look healthy and radiant. It is expensive, but I know that I'll just have to repurchase it when this one runs out!

Onto the Origins Vitazing moisturiser, this is a tinted moisturiser, which isn't something I've used much of. I find a lot of moisturisers can leave my skin looking and feeling greasy, and making my foundation loose about half of its longevity. This moisturiser doesn't have any effect on that, and just leaves my skin with the perfect healthy glow, and a great base for foundation or BB cream. I've used it every single day since I got it, and am so obsessed with it now! Again, it's not cheap, but I know that I'll definitely be repurchasing it, as I haven't found anything this good!

Another thing to mention perhaps is that I have sensitive  combination skin, with both oily and dry patches, and neither of these products have caused any skin irritations or break outs.

Thumbs up from me!
