Quick Fix Facials Exfoliating Scrub Mask

This ex-foliating scrub mask is for blackheads and blocked pores which is exactly what I need in a mask. I have used the Quick Fix Facials Moisture Mask before and really like it and still use it so I was interested in trying out more of these masks. I bought this in Boots and costs €6.49. 

This is a mask but also a scrub. How you use it is by putting in on damp skin (I did this with a foundation brush) and leave it work it's magic for 5 to 10 mins I left it for ten as I had already tested it on my hand and it didn't have a reaction. Then wet your hands and message it into your problem areas and focus on the nose, forehead and chin. After that you can rinse it off with warm water and pat your skin dry. Testing out masks is really important I think I've said this about a hundred times but I really think it's something you need to do at least then you will know before wrecking your skin. 

What it says.

For stubborn and reoccurring blackheads, clogged pores and skin in need of a deep and thorough clean. This is definitely me. 

It contains:

Pink rose clay - helps to deep clean and de-congest the skin. 

Glycolic acid - extremely effective at balancing out uneven skin tone.

Pomegranate extract - packed with incredible antioxidant and anti-ageing properties to encourage radiant skin.

This was a nice mask to apply it wasn't too thick or too runny and the little exfoliating bits didn't make it difficult to spread. Leaving it for the ten minutes was grand it's not a mask that goes so tight that you can't move your face it just dry a little that all and washing it off was ok. I did feel like it took forever to get it all off though but at least that meant I got a good scrub anyway. 

After my skin looked a little brighter and had that really nice soft feeling that you get after a good exfoliation. So overall it has impressed me the skin on my cheeks do be a bit dry and oily at the same time so it kind of builds up there a little and this has left it feeling really soft a little red but that's what happens with these scrubs. 

I do have on little thing I didn't like about it and that the smell. It's kind of rosey smelling and it's not terrible but did make my eyes water just a little and it wasn't that close to them. This is mostly down to me though I have really sensitive eyes and lots of things make them water. 

For a mask that cost less then €10 it's a good mask that I think used on a regular basis would give a really good result. At the moment this range is buy one get one free so if you wanted to pick one up you can also get another to try out and not have to worry about wasting money if you didn't like it. 

Quick Fix Facials Mega Moisture Mask.

Another mask from my little trip to boots. This time I'm trying out Quick Fix Facials's Mega Moisture Mask for dry and thirsty skin. Since the weather is getting a bit warmer and my skin has been getting a bit more dry lately I thought I pick this up and give it a go. The pink tube did have a little to do with my choice. They really know how to get me lol. 

I't comes in a 100ml tube which I love so handy and mess free unlike jars when your left with product stuck under your nails and only cost me €6.49.

It says it's for thirsty, parched, dry skin in need of some TLC. It also explains how it is packed full of ingredients to help your skin like:

• Hyaluronic Acid, Which replaces moisture and helps provide deep hydration to skin.
• Vitamin E, Full of antioxidants that will help keep skin in good condition.
• Marine Collagen, a source of collagen which will help skin retain moisture and elasticity.

So far it all sounds good so here is how I got on. I applied the mask like the directions told me to. "Smooth a thick layer onto the skin and leave for 5-10 minutes to infuse skin with goodness. Remove with warm water or gently wipe away with a warm damp flannel or cloth." 

I applied a thick layer all over my face and neck including under my eyes as they are so dry that I thought they could use the hydration. I checked and it said nowhere not to just not to have direct contact with an eye or both so... . Anyway I applied some to lips as well and just had to try remember not to lick my lips for 5 to 10 minutes. It felt like a thick moisturiser putting it on and it did dry in a little mainly to areas that seemed to really need it. I left it on for 10 minutes then washed it off with warm water and patted my skin dry with a dry, clean soft towel. That was it I was done. 

Now or the results. I couldn't believe how great my skin felt and looked after this mask it's like how it would looks after using a really good moisturiser for a few day's and it feels so soft. My skin can be very flaky and can also feel sort of rough too but it's so soft now. I think this is one I should defiantly be adding to my routine and will be doing at least once a week. The tube says that you can get 10 facials out of it, I think I might not get that many as I will use it on my neck as well and my hands because it made such a difference to them. 

After I put it on my face I rubbed a thick layer over the eczema on my hand which usually look dry, cracked and wrinkled which is mainly from scaring but after I washed it off they look plump and the redness has gone down even the cracked feeling and look has improved. It really shows the results better on my hand then anywhere else as they where noticeable dryness before hand. If your suffering from dry skin I recommend giving this a go and see if it helps as its a lot cheaper then some of the other products I've tried and felt crap after. Also don't forget to test it out first before using it to make sure you wont have a reaction to anything in it. It's always handy to try get into that habit.
