Skincare Diary: Face Masks

Hello! About twice a month I like to use a face mask. I really like to put one on and then take a hot bath, but usually I put one on while I am doing homework. Occasionally I'll apply a face mask while I'm cleaning. Regardless of what I'm doing, it is nice to feel pampered by a face mask once in a while. Lately I have been snapping a couple pics of them & thought I would let you know my thoughts.



This is a cheap mask that I picked up off of an end cap in Walmart. I had heard about paper face masks & thought they looked like fun.


Haha...here it is. This looks absolutely ridiculous. It felt nice on but didn't do anything for my skin. It was more of a novelty item.



This one isn't a proper mask. I saw a DIY on Pinterest that said to use honey as a face mask. It went on just like you would assume: sticky & smeary. It felt tight & sticky on my face but after washing it off, my skin felt incredibly soft.


This is the famous GlamGlow YouthMud mask. It is popular in YouTube world & among celebrities. I got it as a free 100 point perk from Sephora, which was exciting considering how much this stuff costs.



I understand the mud part of the name. It looks like a greenish gritty mud with pieces of leaves in it. It tingles a little bit when it is on your face, but feels really good. I loved the results. It is one of the only face masks I have ever used and like so much. My face felt clean & clear afterward & my makeup applied smoother the next morning. GlamGlow is worth all the hype.


Last & most definitely least: the H2O Aqualibrium Sea Mineral Mud Mask. I picked this up in a H2O set at Kohl's.


It is a vibrant shade of blue! It felt fine while it was on, but the next morning I woke up with terrible breakouts all over my face. I must have been allergic to something in this one. It was fun to put on because of the brightness, but I won't try it again, which is a shame because there are several more uses in the tube.

How often do you apply face masks? Which ones are your favorite? & do you put them on simply for the fun factor, or do you feel like they help your skin? Leave me some feedback.
