I go through phases where I'm obsessed with face masks and own numerous different types, then won't use them for months on end. And there's no in-between. Lately though, my skin has been playing up - breaking out and oilier than usual - so I figured I'd try out this mask I'd been sent out to review. And it was an interesting experience.
Too Cool for School Egg Cream Mask Pore Tightening* || Set of 5 || RRP £22.50 - so although I didn't get sent a set of these, it was this exact mask I received and I can't seem to find the individual one online. But nonetheless, it's the same thing. So it's an egg based face mask, which is designed to tighten your pores and help oily skin (it combats the oils). It's an actual sheet mask as opposed to a liquid-based mask, and let me tell you - oh my goodness the difficulties I had just to get it on! So I took it out the packet, and tried unfolding it, but because it's coated with the face mask, it kept folding in on itself and closing. Eventually I got there, and it had gaps for your eyes, nostrils and mouth. I then smoothed it out at the edges just so there were no gaps etc. Then, I waited..
20 minutes later or so, I decided it was time to take the mask off. With it being a sheet, I knew it wouldn't dry like a usual mask, but I felt that it still felt "fresh" - I expected the sheet to start creasing, drying or do something! But no, it didn't. So I peeled it off, and my skin was coated in face mask. Me thinking I was being smart decided to leave it and hope that my skin would soak it up. However, it didn't - after about 10 mins or that, I was left with a greasy layer on my skin that just felt uncomfortable. I had to therefore wash it off so that my skin felt somewhat clean and fresh again, before continuing onwards with my skincare routine.
Despite this, I felt that my skin looked radiant and refreshed. It did look glowy, and this is down to the egg white and vinegar combination that works well on your skin. I don't know if it did necessarily help tighten my pores, but it did dry out a few spots on my face so I guess it helped my skin to an extent. They have got other face masks and general skincare products available, so I'm intrigued to these!
