Radical Skincare Instant Revitalizing Mask

I have been wanting to mention the Radical Skincare Instant Revitalizing Mask for awhile. It's a really unique mask that gives energy and moisture to the skin. I have been using it for a good few months and I really enjoy how it makes my skin feel. What's unique about it, is that it comes out of the packing as a creme transparent gel but as you apply it to your skin, it transforms into a white mask all over the face. After a few minutes, you feel the mask creating air bubbles on your face and it starts to pop and dissolve! It feels crazy!

The mask includes Sodium PCA to increase the skin's softness and control the skin's moisture balance, Vitamin E to help the skin fight free radicals created by oxidation from pollution, sun damage and age, and Green Coffee! I use this mask twice a week and I think this is a great mask for fall since the weather is getting more dry and our skin needs more moisture to drink up. I discovered Radical Skincare one day walking around Barneys New York and just discovered Sephora is stocking the line too!

post travel skin recovery

After a long 5-day weekend trip, my skin was feeling and looking tired... and super tan (notice my extremely dark hand). over the past few days since i was using mostly sample size products i think my skin became a little sensitive and upset. the skin around my eyes were getting irritated. i had a quiet night to myself and these two masks were just what i needed.

Step 1: Borghese Fango Delicato Active Mud for Delicate Skin

I am a big fan of mud masks for unclogging pores, eliminating dead skin cells, and detoxifying impurities. I have been using the Origins clay mask weekly for the past year as well. The Borghese Fango Delicato mask dries a lot faster so you only need to leave it on for 5 minutes before you wash it off. It's a gentle mud mask targeting more sensitive and dehydrated skin. I do feel tingling the first few minutes I apply it, but it's not too bad and goes away. I have heard great results of pores shrinking with this product so I will report back in a few months.

Step 2:

Boots Botanics Intensive Moisture Mask

I received this mask as a gift with purchase and I like to apply a thin layer of this all over the face before I go to sleep at night. In the morning I just rinse it off the next morning. It contains Vitamins A, C and E and apple extract to brighten skin tone. My skin definitely feels plumper and refresehd in the morning after I have used this and I hate having dry skin so a moisture mask is a must for me.

mask behaviour

I love masks. I try to do a mask at least twice a week. The REN glycol lactic radiance renewal mask is a skin renewing and targets firmness, tone and radiance. I was drawn to this because in the product description it said it worked well with post-acne scarring, blemishes, blackheads and sun-damaged skin.  Those pretty much are my exact concerns. The mask itself is quite pricey, but Sephora offers a Get Radiant, Glowing Skin In Just 10 Mintues! Kit. And for $3 more you get a mini micro polish cleanser and radiance perfection serum. And maybe a cleansing cloth but I don't know where that went.

At first I did not see noticeable results with this, but I noticed that if I leave it on for longer than 10 minutes, after I wash off the mask, my skin is so soft and smooth - it really feels refreshed! Sometimes it tingles more than others and it's got a real fruity smell. I love that one pump is the exact amount you need to spread evenly on your face. It never dries, so after 10-15 minutes you just wash it off your face and then apply the rest of your night time skin care routine. It's clean, easy to use and it's the perfect mask to use at the end of the week to feel refreshed again.
