I love reviewing facial masks and this one is so easy, you can do it at home, but still get professional results! I am such a texture girl, so getting all dolled up with my hair pulled back and lathering on some creamy, great smelling goop, is pretty fun for me! So, my adventure was to review this mask by Somme Institute, in which for $31, was suppose to be a great product for dry, sensitive skin.
WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO: It is a gentle warming mask that nourishes and boosts the skin with enzymes and minerals giving your skin brightness, good tone, texture and clarity. It, also, claims to prep the skin for the other Somme Institute products.
WHAT IT DOES: It does make the skin look brighter, and it is very calming to the skin, makes the skin feel soft and supple and preps the skin for the other Somme Institute products.
MY MASK HISTORY: I have used and loved the following soothing and brightening masks: Philosophy Micro-Delivering Brightening Peel, Forever 21 Cucumber Mask, Sisley Botanical Mask with Linden Blossom, Aveda Calming and Hydrating Mask, and Elemis Cream Nourishing Mask.
AFTER
MY RESULTS: The best thing about the mask is that it warms up as you are putting it on and feels soothing and terrific, not to mention that it smells devine like cinnamon. It did leave my skin looking brighter. It was very calming to apply and I can imagine if you suffer from acne or rosacea, it would help take down the redness. I am not sure if it felt any different, though, maybe a tad bit smoother. I think its a great mask for people that are looking for brightness and have sensitive skin. It is not a mask for deep cleansing, more brightening and soothing, and overall, down right relaxing and fun to apply. It reminds me of an old mask that Aveda used to carry that would warm up when applied. I would probably buy this mask again just for the fact that it feels great warming up on my skin!
