Mask Monday
I just want to express my love for Banish's Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
I know. I get it. How many times is she going to talk about it?!
The answer is: when I feel like I've talked about it enough... & right now I do not feel like this little guy has received enough love.
This week my skin was not looking its best, I had some kind of allergy to something and the right side of my face (cheek & jaw area) always flares up and turns red and blotchy. The right side of my jaw is the first thing that immediately gets irritated whenever I put something on my face or eat something that my body doesn't like.
Aside from the allergy I had, I did my eyebrows on Friday and the area that was waxed got extremely red, bumpy & inflamed, this never happens because my eyebrow lady uses a hypoallergenic wax and immediately follows the waxing with aloe gel. This simply happened because my skin was having an off-week, which is fine... but enough is enough.
I have mentioned this mask in a favorites video, in my skincare video and it was also in my Mask 101 post but I have never really talked about it in depth and how it helps me.
When you have very sensitive skin there are times where even your holy-grails won't bring you back from a skin irritation but I kid you not, I put this mask on for 5 minutes and then wash off the residue with my aveeno calming foaming face wash and 90% of my irritation went away immediately. It is my savior.
The bumps on my eyebrows along with the inflammation and redness vanished less than an hour after using it. It is seriously magical. Every time I use it I am more and more impressed. So much so that I was compelled to open my laptop and write this.
Here are Some notes about this mask which I notice on my skin seriously moments after use. This mask delivers everything it claims to deliver.
- Contains Vitamin A (fights acne) , Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene (plumps, reverses damage & reduces fine line)
- Contains AHA which is a chemical exfoliant (removes dead skin, brightens, doesn't dry out your skin)
- Vegan and cruelty free
- All organic (actually made fresh to order)
- No parabens or sulfates
Sure, it feels like I'm putting baby food on my face, it tingles a little & it's kind of annoying to rinse off but when I tell you it is worth it... I truly believe it is worth it. It is so incredibly underrated but so good.
My face the next day after using this looks so healthy, plump and even. It is packed with so many amazing beneficial ingredients at such a reasonable price point, I cannot get over this mask.
