Beauty Face Mask Challenge

I saw my skin under harsh lighting the other day and discovered how much it has aged. I'm only in my late 20s yet my skin feels like it's a decade older. This hasn't always been the case. I've always gotten mistaken as a teenager before my pregnancy. So in my despair, I researched and researched for quick fixes.

I had three sessions of RF + Facials at Lynderm Spa last month. While they were good and all, they were just too expensive, plus the hassle of having to drive to the mall and back home after work negates all the relaxation at the spa.

So I figured i'll just take the spa home. I hoarded beauty masks at Watsons. And one is currently on my face as I type.

This is the VitC Whitening Black Mask from Beauty Buffet by Watsons. I chose to go with this first as this seems the gentlest, I'm on my last day of my period and my skin is still a little sensitive.

This is what it says at the back:

The material is charcoal fibre so it's going to help with my oil and blackheads situation. It promises to make my skin bright from its Vitamins C & B3 content. And it has Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera for nourishment and moisturization. Everything my skin needs at the moment.

Bought this for P50? I like that it's cloth so it feels soft and it doesn't tear easily. I am yet to see if it's effective as, well, it's still on my face. The mask is too wide, I have to constantly check to make sure it doesn't get to my hairline.

Other bloggers let the masks sit on their faces overnight while they sleep. This one is supposed to stay on for 20-30 mins only so I'm removing it in a bit. It has salicylic acid so it might be too harsh if I let it stay on for long.

Here's what the front packaging looks like, by the way:

Tik tok tik tok.

Moment of truth:

Erm. Well. This is the first mask so I can't really say there's been a crazy amount of difference on my skin. My skin does feel soft, smooth and relaxed, and it doesn't look like it might break out lol. I plan to do this face mask challenge every other day for 2 weeks - long enough period of time to observe drastic differences and short enough period to not blow off my entire beauty budget for the month. 

Updating this tomorrow if I break out or something.
