I have always suffered from oily skin, especially along my nose. Whilst I was in my teen years I never really understood why, but since growing up I have since realised that my nose pores are pretty big. So big in fact that I always become self conscious when I haven't got makeup on to conceal them. But what makes this a harsh circle is that makeup actually clogs up my pores and gets them into worse condition. I just can't win!
Since discovering my enlarged pores, I have always been willing to try out new products that can either minimise my pores, or just help matte out my oily skin. This one product by the well known brand 'Soap & Glory' sells this product by labelling it as a exfoliation mask that can help reduce pores and oily skin. All you have to do is leave it on your skin for 5-15 minutes and try to apply it around two or three times a week.
When you first open up the pot you are welcomed by the scent of mint. Quite surprising for 'Soap & Glory' but it is still quite pleasant. The texture of the cream is very thick and rich, but creamy enough to provide enough cover. And when you do apply this mask to your t-zones you have to massage the cream in well enough so that the green beads dissolve underneath your fingertips. Overall it is a good quality product for £10.
The results I got from this mask were great in the short term. Straight after a 15 minute session I would find my skin feeling exceptionally smooth, and the clay had done its job of getting rid of any oil. My skin would feel unclogged and much more hydrated, but unfortunately it didn't seem to do anything to the size of my pores. In fact all of these pros that I have mentioned seem to disappear a day later which is most probably why they recommend you apply three times a week. But despite the fact this mask has no long term effects, I am pleasantly surprised and keep it as part of my routine when I get time.
Before I finish this post, I do have to mention the name on this pot, 'Facial Peel'. If you have read this, but you have been put off by it because you think you have to peel the mask off, then you do not need to worry because it is in fact not a mask to peel. Instead it is just referring to peeling off dead skin cells. In order to take the mask off you simply just have to rinse with water.
Also, I have to mention that since I have bought this pot, Soap & Glory have decided to change its packaging for this product. Instead of the pink, they have instead changed the pot to a green and white colour scheme. They have even changed the name to 'Fab Pore 2-in-1 Facial Pore Purifying Mask & Peel'.
