Hey, beauties!
With red carpet season well under way, I thought I would share a product I was recently sent to try out, one of which I think will now be a huge part of my skincare routine.
As well as the dresses, I'm always keeping my eye on the beauty trends on the red carpet. A good face isn't always down to the make-up. Clear glowing skin will help foundation and concealer sit better and I find it even helps with staying power throughout a night.
I've been a fan of Murad, ever since I received the Skin perfecting primer in a Glossy box, sometime last year.
When I got the chance to try out their Pomegranate exfoliating mask*, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try something different from the brand.
The mask comes packaged in 6 sachets for 6 uses, meaning it's the perfect product if you're travelling a lot.
Dr. Murad created this as part of his Vitalic range, to combat oily or dry zones, clear blocked pores, and keep combination skin in balance.
This is perfect for me as I do tend to get dry patches around my T zone. Even more so, now I'm out of the house more often.
To use the mask, apply to freshly cleansed skin. Massage into the face and neck, then leave for 10 to 15 minutes before washing off and moisturising.
Murad recommend to use this product only once or twice a week.
My first impression when using this mask, was that it certainly isn't your typical exfoliating product. When I think of exfoliating, I think of the masks or face washes that have some kind of abrasive ingredient to work away the dead skin.
The Murad pomegranate exfoliating mask* is entirely smooth.
When applying it to my face, I didn't necessarily feel as though it was exfoliating, but after leaving it on for a little while, it does start to feel a little tingly. Almost a little burning if I'm honest. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I definitely felt like it was doing something. That's good, right.
The product works with natural fruit enzymes and AHAs to help dissolve the dead skin cells.
When I washed off the mask, my skin felt incredible!! I'm not over exaggerating with those exclamation marks.
My skin has been acting out a little lately, and I do have a few problem areas.
After this treatment, my skin was super soft, smooth and visibly clearer.
That was four nights ago, and I still feel like I'm seeing the benefits of using this product. My skin is still glowing, my make-up is applying so much smoother and it isn't looking cakey at all.
If you ask me, this is an amazing product. If you are looking for something to give you that red carpet glow, this is definitely the product for you.
It is a little pricey at £25, but you do get six uses.
Personally, I feel I would only need to use this once a week, but obviously that is down to personal preference and how the product works for you.
To find out more about this product, or maybe even have a cheeky little purchase, head over to the
Murad website.
If you can ever get your hands on this, please try it and let me know what you think.
I love it.
