I'm always saying this but Soap & Glory are my all time favourite brand when it comes to bath & body stuff. I've built up quite a stash of stuff because more often than not I can never resist picking up something new when I pop into Boots! The latest addition to join my little family of S&G products is the No Clogs Allowed Super Self-Heating Deep Pore Detox Mask (bit of a mouthful!) which retails at £11.50 but Boots often have offers on such as a 1/3rd off all S&G skincare.
The mask itself is a thick paste that contains colour changing technology as it warms up. The self-heating aspect is quite a weird sensation at first but now I'm used to it I find it really relaxing & comforting. It heats up as you start to apply it & stays warm for around 5 minutes before it needs washing off. Like it says on the directions, I massage a grape sized amount all over my face but mainly focus on the most blemish prone area which tends to be my T-Zone. It's starts off as a yellow white shade & turns blue once you begin scrubbing it into your skin with wet hands. It does feel like quite a grainy face mask but the beads quickly dissolve. One thing I really like about this mask is that it doesn't harden up & crack, so you can actually move your face without having to worry that it will crumble all over you. It feels like it's working due to the heat activation & although it's an exfoliator it contains micro beads so it's not gritty & doesn't feel harsh at all. It's really easy to remove too, I simply rub a warm flannel all over my face & then use a bit of extra water to rinse my face again. I love the way my skin feels after I use this, the micro beads polish the surface so it's literally baby skin soft! I actually expected my skin to feel dry & tight after using it, because most face masks do tend to dehydrate the skin but I don't experience that at all. The visibility of any blemishes/blackheads I previously had is reduced thanks to the salicylic acid which melts away sebum & detoxes my skin. I use it once a week to try keep any spots at bay & to give my skin a good exfoliate to keep it looking clean & healthy.
