Autumn is the time when the skin is capricious and all its imperfections are manifested. Woman’s Day is ready for the cold and testing moisturizing masks.
EISENBERG, intensive moisturizing face mask, 4161 rubles
– In the fall, I can’t do without moisturizers. I got my first EISENBERG product a year ago: The Invisible Corrective Makeup won my heart. It’s time for a moisturizing mask that promises to transform my skin after the first application.
Expectations: the manufacturers promise that the ocean green gel with a high content of hyaluronic acid will saturate the skin with moisture, and the red algae extracts will normalize the pH, remove toxins and have a soothing effect. The mask is specially designed for the face and eye area, which is a bonus!
Reality: manufacturers offer several options for using the mask. For a quick result, you can apply the product before the party for five minutes, and in order to intensively moisturize the skin, carry out a “course” – apply for five minutes for 8-15 days in a row. For a spa procedure, you need to do this mask for 15 minutes 1-2 times a week.
To begin with, I chose the first option: immediately after use, I saw the result: when I applied the foundation after the mask, it lay down easily, because the skin became moisturized and elastic. In total, my course was 7 days. Within a week, I felt that my skin was hydrated and did not suffer from moisture loss due to changing weather and dry air in the office.
Rating: 10 out of 10 points… I am completely satisfied with the mask and I believe that the product justifies its price.
Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask, 1950 rubles
– In September, I experienced two long flights and a week of sun, so I was almost not surprised when, during the last visit, the beautician said that my skin was dry. I do not do any special procedures, except for cleansing my face, it was decided to fight for moisture with the help of good creams and masks. I have known the French brand Clarins for a long time and love it dearly for its high quality, but this was the first time I used a moisturizing mask.
Expectations: the company calls this mask an oasis for dehydrated skin and advises it as an urgent therapy. The composition contains hyaluronic acid, which replenishes moisture reserves, cataphra tree bark extract (restores the outer protective layer of the skin), vitamin E and UVA / UVB filters. In general, it is quite worthy for itself, without unnecessary additives and silicone. It is recommended to apply it for 5-10 minutes, so my expectation is an ambulance to moisturize the skin.
Reality: it looked like I had applied a greasy face cream. The texture of the mask is like that of a dense cream, it lies on the skin with a transparent layer – it’s unusual for me. One of the huge benefits – Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask can be applied to the skin around the eyes. The sensations are very pleasant – a delicate aroma and no tightness while you bide your time.
I was alarmed by the method of removal: it was recommended to wash off the mask well with water and then still treat the skin with lotion. It was later experimentally found that the mask is dense enough and such measures are needed so that it does not clog the pores. But the nuance turned out to be that after the lotion the skin tightened, and I needed to apply more moisturizer. The effect was blurry, although immediately after removing the mask, the skin looked happy.
I read on the Internet that in especially neglected cases, you can apply the mask in a thin layer and leave it overnight as a cream. After doing this trick, I was convinced that in my case it did not work: in the morning the skin was oily, I wanted to urgently wash to remove the mask from my face.
What’s the bottom line? I am not disappointed – as an express remedy, the Clarins HydraQuench Cream-Mask is ideal. I think it will open up more in winter, when the skin needs more hydration than ever. Until then, I’ll use it once a week.
Evaluation: 8 out of 10. I take off points for a few “buts” that I used in the recommendation. The remedy is good, but I was not delighted.
Flash mask Dr. Brandt Oxygen Facial Flash Recovery Mask, 4900 rubles
– In autumn, the skin of the face needs more thorough care and cleansing. At one time, I tried many different masks, but I cannot say that any of them particularly hooked me. For testing, I came across a revolutionary flash mask from the Dr. Brandt, which instantly moisturizes and transforms the skin. I was familiar with the brand before, but I was able to try their oxygen face mask for the first time.
Expectations: I wanted to find a mask that perfectly moisturizes the face and gives the skin a feeling of comfort and radiance.
Reality: this novelty won me over at first sight. First, the product is in a futuristic blue capsule bottle. Secondly, as the manufacturers promise, this unique product provides maximum results in minimum time. I, of course, immediately hastened to check these promises on myself. It was enough for me to apply the mask on my face for 5 minutes – this time is quite enough for oxygen to penetrate deeply into the skin and saturate it with nutrients. As a result, the face looked radiant and fresh, like after a good rest or a professional treatment at the spa. In general, I was pleased with the result!
Rating: 10 from 10… This is what you need to get rid of traces of fatigue and restore the skin in a metropolis.
Lancome, Hydra Zen, Soothing & Moisturizing Night Serum Mask, RUB 4100
– I have heard a lot of positive reviews about the Lancome brand, so it was always interesting to personally see its abilities. I liked the Hydra Zen Soothing and Moisturizing Night Serum Mask, but I think the effect of using these products is slightly exaggerated.
Expectations: The manufacturer says that Lancôme has created the Hydra Zen serum mask, which intensely moisturizes the skin during the night and gives it a radiance.
The mask is designed to combat the signs of stress, absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting intense hydration. Delightful texture and delicate aroma combines the properties of a serum and a night mask with a relaxing effect.
Visible result: your skin seems to glow from the inside and is full of life. The skin looks fresher and smoother, and its tone is smoother.
Reality: in general, I liked the tool. Pleasant texture, pale pink color, absorbs quickly, leaves no oily sheen. True, the shine still appears after a few hours, but, however, not in the same amount as before. Good for skin, does not clog pores. And this is very important for me, as there are often rashes. The pores look good, not enlarged. The complexion remained the same as it was.
Rating: 6 out of 10. The tool did not meet my expectations in full. In ordinary life, I would not have spent 5 thousand rubles on it.
Kiehl’s, Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque, 2180 rubles
“Kiehl’s has excellent skin care products. Having taken to test the mask of this brand, I did not even doubt that I would like it. And so it happened!
Expectations: the manufacturer says that the mask has a unique technology of intensive prolonged hydration, thanks to which the skin gains the ability to absorb and retain moisture for a long time. Thus, the night mask continues to work during the day, enhancing the effects of daytime moisturizers. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin replenish the moisture deficit in the skin. Ophiopogon japonica extract forms impermeable septa that help retain moisture within cells. Cylindrical imperative prevents moisture evaporation from the skin surface. Suitable for all skin types. Free from silicones, parabens, colorants and fragrances.
Reality: it is better to use the product 1-2 times a week or as needed. Before going to bed, the product should be applied to well-cleansed skin in a generous layer, avoiding the eye area. After 10 minutes, remove the excess product with a napkin, leaving a thin layer of the product on the skin overnight.
It moisturizes perfectly, but I didn’t really like the feeling of stickiness on my face all night, even after removing it with a napkin. But my skin is prone to oily; I think those with dry skin will be more comfortable.
Rating: 9 out of 10. In general, everything is fine, but minus a point for the feeling of stickiness.
Moisturizing relaxing mask Thermes Marins Saint Malo Masque Hydra-Detente, 3626 rubles
– For owners of delicate and thin skin, the procedure for applying a moisturizing mask is no less important than daily brushing. This will maximize the delay in the appearance of premature wrinkles. Thermes Marins Saint Malo has a moisturizing and caring effect. What I need, which means I try with pleasure.
Expectations: stylish bottle, reputable brand … According to the manufacturers, the mask contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, thanks to which the skin becomes smooth and elastic.
Reality: reputable brand, stylish bottle, pleasant aroma. After using the scrub, I take out the Thermes Marins Saint Malo. The mask is easily applied to the face and envelops it gently. 20 minutes – and most of the creamy product has already absorbed into the skin. I remove the excess from my face and wash my face with cool water. The skin becomes soft and begins to breathe. Moreover, the feeling of freshness does not leave until the morning. The skin looks firm and taut, even the usual bruises under the eyes seem less. Am I satisfied with this effect? Without a doubt.
Rating: 10 out of 10. Thermes Marins Saint Malo mask is an ideal ratio of reasonable price and high quality. Think I was asked to give a good review? It was not so. Try it and see for yourself!
Lancaster, Flash Hydration Mask, 1650 рублей
– I have a lot of respect for the Lancaster brand for its excellent line of sunscreens, and I was curious about how this brand is doing with its beauty products.
Expectations: quick beauty remedy for thirsty dehydrated skin. The formula contains an extract of refreshing and moisturizing algae, as well as mineral water enclosed in special microsponges. The skin is instantly hydrated, it regains freshness, radiance and elasticity.
Reality: most of all in the description I was intrigued by microsponges. On this day, my skin was definitely thirsty, so in the evening I did not fail to test their effect on my skin. The mask is a thick gel, which is recommended to be applied in a thick layer and kept on the face for 5 minutes, then remove the excess with a napkin. Almost immediately after application, a rather noticeable cooling effect is felt: unexpected, but generally pleasant. It remains on the skin for some time after removing the mask with a napkin. As a result, the face takes on a much more vigorous appearance than before. The skin feels comfortable, but I felt like I wanted something else.
Rating: 7 out of 10. I take off points for alcohol in the composition: girls with sensitive skin should be careful here.
