I love using face masks. There are my way of doing my own facial treatments and time for myself when I’m allowed to relax and not think about the world. Sunday is my face mask and pamper day but I also like to use face masks if I see that my skin needs them.
Kiehl’s recently added two new face masks to their skincare line, the Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque* and the Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque*.
The Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque is a face mask that helps with brightness and energizes the look of dull skin to reveal a healthy and radiant looking skin. There are two main natural ingredients, the Turmeric is know to have antioxidant properties and help with brightness and the Cranberry Seed Extract contains high levels of antioxidants and the seeds also help with gentle exfoliation.
The recommended use is up to three times a week. You apply the mask on cleansed skin and leave it from 5 to 10 minutes until it dries out. When your face starts to feel tight and the mask has dried you wash it with warm water massaging in circular motions so you get that gentle exfoliation that comes from the cranberry seeds.
After using this mask I noticed that my skin felt brighter and my pores looked tighter. My face felt very smooth and cleansed but not striped and tight. Of course after using a mask like this you follow up with your skincare routine and make sure you apply moisturizer. I like to use this mask in the morning because it feels very refreshing and also preps my skin for my skincare and makeup for that day.
The Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque helps with dullness and defends and replenishes to reduce the signs of visible effects of pollution. The two main natural ingredients, Cilantro Extract which has a natural oil from coriander seeds that helps to replenish the skin barrier and Orange Extract which is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin.
This is an overnight mask which you use in addition to your skincare routine. The recommended use is also three times per week at night. After you apply your moisturizer and serum you apply the mask and leave it for five minutes. Then you use a tissue to remove leaving a thin layer that will work overnight.
After using the mask I noticed that my skin looked clearer and fresh and it also helped with reducing any breakouts that I had. My skin felt clean and moisturized and looked radiant and healthy. It’s a wonderful overnight mask that’s a great addition to my nighttime skincare routine.
I’m really enjoying both face masks. Depending what your skin needs they’re both great to try. They not only smell nice they actually do what they claim to do.
Have you tried any Kiehl’s face masks? Let me know if there’s a skincare product from the brand that you think it’s a must have.
