I used to think that skincare products are just bluffs and gimmicks and feel that people are really that Naive to get those craps. So now i found out I'm the one who is naive..
Anyway back to the topic of this entry. Since i have started to put more stuffs on my face, there bound to be more residues on it right? So I have been desperately looking for deep cleansing mask which i think may help to shrink the pores according to what i have been studying from the beauty forums.
And today, one of my friends who works as air stewardess told me that she uses Origins mask. And I recalled few years back, my ex-colleague did recommended this product before but given my financial status back then, I didn't take much notice since I'm not going to afford it.
Hence after the work, I met up with my dear and went to the Tangs@Vivocity for the Origins counter. The SA was very friendly and immediately show me the wonder product and give a demo on the usage when i asked her about the Clear Improvement.
I have done my research in ensuring that this product's realiability. Knowing that this is a "charchoal" mask, i have my qualms on using it on my face. Some time back, I have bought a Daiso's Charchoal Mask which cost probably SGD$2 only. This was a greatly recommended product in the forums that I frequent. However to my dismay, the charchoal mask peel off most of my facial hair (damn painful!) and a few days later, i ended up with much bigger white heads till my dear notices my pores (he never gave a damn about my face before).
It was so obvious. I went home and dig those out with the needles (I know this is absoletly no no but can't help it) but the holes were pretty big.
For the usage, the SA squeezed an amount from the tube and put some on her hand. She mentioned that the amount need not be too thick but must be enough to cover the skin or else defeat the purpose. The layer should be put for 10 min before rinsing it off. For a cleaner removal, use cotton pad to rub off the clay and rinse it off.
Anyway I asked whether this mask has exfoliator purpose since nowaday many products has dual function. Sadly the SA said no and she introduced me the Origins' top selling star product
Modern Friction Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion
The SA did a demo on my hand. It was quite a "sticky" texture and you push-rub this in circular motion to exfoliate. It claims that the skin becomes fairer and less wrinkle but on the spot i did not see any difference but probably feel smoother. It was quite a hefty-price product which cost SGD$73. I will only buy this if i have too much of the spare cash...
My stewardess friend mentioned that she usually does deep cleansing mask follow by the exfoliation. Won't it be too harsh on the skin since the chemicals is dissolving some stuffs on your face? She reason that exfoliation will dissolving whatever was left behind after the deep cleansing. True. The origin SA however recommend that there is no order to which shall be done first. But in between, you should let your face rest for 1 day before deep cleansing or exfoliation.
Anyway, the deep cleansing and exfoliation should be done once a week to keep your skin in optimal condition.
Afternote: There was a tingling sensation after applying the mask, followed by the tightness. Probably is because the clay is hardening. I find it pretty need more effort to rub it off since the clay has sorta harden. One good thing is that after cleaning up, My face was not red at all as what happened with other kind of cleansing masks (Daiso brand, H2O). I kinda like it especially the pores seem cleaner. But i pretty sure that not all the white heads has been removed. Maybe because some of the pores opening are pretty squeezy. Anyway, I think i have to use it serveral time thereafter i would comment whether this work or not.
