Review: Avon Planet Spa The Ayurveda Ritual - Soothe & Balance Face Mask and Multi-Use Oil

I think one of my first Avon products was one of their Planet Spa masks. Their Planet Spa range has been around since I remember. Every now and then they come out with new scents, but some have been staple in the collection for years. Their latest collection is called The Ayurveda Ritual and I tested face mask and multi-oil.

Review: Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying With Dead Sea Minerals (whole range)

There are a few products by Avon that I really like. First are definitely their lipsticks. I also love their eyeliner formulas and eyeshadow quads. As far as the skin care goes I adore their fun smelling shower gels (even though they are not nourishing), bubble baths and I also really like their Planet Spa face masks. I haven't tried any other products from the Planet Spa line, but face masks are great, because they are never too drying and are in general gentle. 

Perfectly Purifying range is based on dead sea minerals. I love products with anything sea in it, because they just work well with my skin with tendency to allergies. So I was intrigued to try out this range. 



Face masks and face scrub all come in a squeeze tube with grey design. They have plastic opening that can crack, if it falls down. So not the sturdy ones. I love squeeze packaging, because they are the easiest to get the product out and the most hygienic




I already have a review of it here, because I already purchased it a while ago. I feel like I still agree with my review from back then, so I won't talk about it much. It's just a fun mask that uses chemicals to smooth skin's surface. It's also really gentle. That being said, the results are not outstanding, like if you would use chemical exfoliators every day, but it's a good one for those that are afraid of using acids on the skin and want something gentle for once a week. 

In it is 50 ml of product and the regular price is 11.50€. Currently it's on offer for 4.90€ (here).


Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Face Mask

This is a basic clay mask that should clean up your pores. It has thicker grey creamy consistency that dries down to that clay finish, but what I like is that it doesn't overly dry out the skin as some other clay masks do. It's easy to spread on the face and easy to squeeze out, but it sticks to the skin well. 

It makes the skin looks slightly brighter right after you wash it off. Pores look cleaner and slightly smaller. But the effect obviously doesn't last a long time. It doesn't remove blackheads. I feel like this masks cleans out the pores and brings the dirt to the surface. For example, if you have pimples that are just forming, you can pop them after using this mask. I also love the fact that it doesn't leave the skin too dry, like some other clay masks tend to. 

It's a good basic clay mask. Once I used it in the hot bath, which prevented the mask to dry up, but it also helped me to open up the pores and my skin looked amazing after it. It's a good tip, if you want the best out of your face masks. 

In it is 75 ml of product and the regular price is 11.50€. Currently it's on offer for 6.90€ here.



Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Face Scrub

I expected something totally different from this product. I was sure that inside is a transparent gel with rough scrub particles. It's a actually a thicker white, almost whipped butter consistency or a thicker cream, with small white scrub particles. It looks so similar to a butter and it feels like a nourishing cleansing balm. It goes on the face in a thick layer and it's actually quite gentle, but still effective.

When you scrub it in, you can feel it as a peeling product, but it's not too rough. After you wash it off, it leaves the skin feeling nourished and not at all dry. Skin's surface is smoother, it looks slightly brighter and pores look smaller

I am not fond of regular face scrubs, but this one is great. It's so nourishing, buttery and just rough enough. I think Avon should make a cleansing balm based on this formula, because it would be amazing. 

In it is 75 ml of product and the regular price is 10.50€. Currently it's on offer for 6.90€ here


Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Round Face Brush Plus Cap

It's a brush that should be used on a face. It has transparent pedestal that can stand on its own and a transparent plastic top that you put over to protect it. The bristles are also transparent and remind me of a rough tooth brush.

Let me just say that this is too rough for my sensitive skin to be using it on my face. In fact, I think it's too rough for any skin, period. I would probably use this in a giant form on my body, but never on my face. 

The regular price is 5€.




Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Body Scrub

It comes in a transparent plastic big pot with a white plastic screw on top. It's a bit awkward to use, because the lid is so big and you have to fit it perfectly to close it. I think it would work better in a tube packaging.

It's a gooey gray liquid gel with transparent bigger scrub particles and small black particles. The combination of two sizes of scrub particles makes it quite rough. I like that it's more liquid, because it's easier to spread all over the body

Once it comes in touch with water it leathers and comes off easy. It definitely makes the skin smoother and doesn't irritate my skin, but gives you a good scrub. I like it. Especially the fact that it's easy to spread on the body. 

In it is 200 ml of product and the regular price is 12.30€.





Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Body Butter

It comes in a cute glass jar that reminds me of those rustical yogurt packaging or pickled food. It also comes in a large card box with gray design

It has thick white cream consistency that is a true body butter consistency. You have to scoop it out of the jar and it's a bit harder to spread on the body. I usually squish it between my hands and try to spread it on my hands and then on my body. 

Once you massage it into the skin, it leaves a white cast and you really have to massage it in well. But it doesn't feel or look greasy. It sort of forms a protective layer on the skin. It's lightly moisturizing and not rich in any way, so it's perfect for warmer months. But it definitely gives the skin a better look, a more nourished and moisturized feel. 

In it is 200 ml of product and the regular price is 13.50€. Currently it's on offer for 8.90€ here





All the products have a fresh and sort of woody fragrance to them, which reminds me of men fragrances. Some may not like it, but I actually find it kind of spa like and it doesn't bother me at all. 

I like both face masks. Gommage is very gentle and perfect for sensitive skin to smooth the skin's surface. Clay mask is a good basic clay mask that cleans out impurities. I also like the face scrub, because it's ultra gentle. If you're looking for something rough, this is not for you. The face brush is a total no for me and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I love the body scrub as the liquid texture makes it easy to apply and it's just rough enough. I also like body butter, but would actually use it more in the warmer months. It's a more lightweight formula and not for those that need a lot of moisture.

Nekaj izdelkov od Avona vedno rada priporočam. Od tega so prve njihove šminke. Zelo so mi všeč tudi njihovi svinčniki za veke in četverci senčil. Glede negovalnih izdelkov obožujem njihove dišeče gele za tuširanje, peneče kopeli in maske za obraz iz linij Planet Spa. Drugih izdelkov iz teh linij še nisem preizkusila. Maske so mi všeč predvsem zato, ker se ne posušijo preveč in ker so na sploh zelo nežne. 

Perfectly Purifying linija temelji na mineralih mrtvega morja. Obožujem izdelke, ki v sestavinah vsebujejo kar koli z začetnico morje. Večinoma ti izdelki izredno prijajo moji koži nagnjeni k alergijam. Zato sem bila precej radovedna pred samim testiranjem teh izdelkov.

Maske za obraz in piling imajo embalažo v obliki tube. Dizajn je siv. Pokrov je plastičen in lahko hitro poči, če vam pade na tla. Torej ni ravno zanesljiv. Sama imam zelo rada maske v tubah, ker je doziranje preprosto in tudi higienično. 

Avon Planet Spa Perfeclty Purifying Gommage obrazna maska

Oceno te maske že imam tukaj, ker sem jo kupila že nekaj časa nazaj. Še vedno se strinjam z mojo oceno, ki sem jo napisal takrat, tako da ne bom dolgovezila. Je zanimiva maska, ki uporablja kemične kisline, da zgladi površino kože. Je tudi zelo nežna. Z njo ne boste dobili rezultatov, ki bi jih na primer dobili z vsakodnevno uporabo tonerjev s kislinami, ampak je pa dober nadomestek za vse, ki se bojijo kislin in si želijo nekaj nežnega za uporabo enkrat na teden. 

V njej je 50 ml izdelka in redna cena je 11.50€. Trenutno jo lahko dobite za 4.90€ tukaj.

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Face Mask

To je osnovna glinena maska, ki očisti pore. Ima gostejšo sivo kremasto teksturo, ki se posuši v tipičen glinen finiš. Všeč mi je predvsem to, da ni preveč izsušujoča kot večina glinenih mask. Nanaša se z lahkoto in se enostavno iztisne iz embalaže, ampak se dobro oprime kože.

Koža po uporabi maske izgleda svetlejša takoj po tem, ko si jo umijem iz obraza. Pore so bolj čiste in rahlo manjše. Efekt seveda ne traja dolgo. Ne odstrani ogrcev. Občutek imam, da dobro očisti pore in prinese vso umazanijo iz por na površino kože. Na primer, če imam mozolj, ki je v nastajanju, ga po uporabi te maske z lahkoto odstranim. Zelo mi je všeč tudi dejstvo, da koža po uporabi maske ni pretirano suha, kar se mi pogosto dogaja z drugimi glinenimi maskami. 

Je dobra osnovan glinena maska. Enkrat sem jo uporabila med kopanjem in ker je bila kopel precej vroča, se mi maska ni posušila. Zaradi toplega zraka so se moje pore dodobra odprle in moja koža je bila po uporabi maske še lepša. To je vsekakor dober nasvet, da iz svojih glinenih mask dobite največ efekta. 

V njej je 75 ml izdelka in redna cena je 11.50€. Trenutno jo lahko dobite za 6.90€ tukaj.

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Face Scrub

Pričakovala sem nekaj povsem drugačnega. Pričakovala sem, da bo to prozoren gel z grobimi delci za piling. Je pa gosta bela krema, ki me spominja na maslo, z majhnimi belimi piling delci. Je zelo podobno maslu in prav tako hranljivo deluje tudi na koži. Na obraz se nanaša v precej gostem sloju in je dokaj nežno za piling, čeprav še vedno dovolj učinkovito.

Ko ga masiraš v obrazu, čutiš delčke, ki praskajo po koži, vendar niso pregrobi. Ko ga umiješ iz obraza, je koža dobro nahranjena in niti malo suha. Površina kože je na otip gladka, izgleda rahlo svetlejša in pore so manjše. 

Nimam preveč rada fizičnih pilingov za obraz, ampak ta je izjema. Je tako hranljiv, maslen in ravno dovolj grob. Po mojem mnenju bi moral Avon na podlagi te formule narediti čistilno kremo. To bi bil odličen izdelek.

V njem je 75 ml izdelka in redna cena je 10.50€. Trenutno ga lahko dobite za 6.90€ tukaj

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying okrogla ščetka za obraz

Ščetka, ki bi se naj uporabljala na obrazu. Ima prozoren samostoječ podstavek. Ima tudi prozoren plastičen pokrov za zaščito. Dlake so prav tako prozorne in mene spominjajo na grobo zobno ščetko.

Naj samo povem, da je ta ščetka zagotovo pregroba za mojo občutljivo in nežno kožo in je ne bi nikoli uporabljala na obrazu. V bistvu se mi zdi, da je pregroba za uporabo na obrazu ne glede na tip kože. Veliko verzijo bi verjetno uporabila na telesu, nikakor pa ne na obrazu. 

Redna cena ščetke je 5€. 

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying piling za telo

Piling za telo ima prozorno plastično okroglo embalažo z belim plastičnim pokrovom. Za uporabo je rahlo nerodna embalaža, ker je kar velika in je težko nastaviti pokrov na embalažo in ga hitro zapreti. Menim, da bi bila tuba boljša za uporabo.

Je siv tekoči gel s prozornimi večjimi piling delci in majhnimi črnimi piling delci. Kombinacija različnih velikosti piling delcev je kar precej grobo. Všeč mi je, da je tekstura bolj tekoča, ker se z lahkoto nanaša na telo. 

Ko piling pride v stik z vodo se začne peniti in se z lahkoto spere iz telesa. Kožo vsekakor naredi bolj gladko in je hkrati ne iritira. Meni je všeč. Še posebej ta tekoča tekstura, ki je res lahkotna za nanašanje. 

V embalaži je 200 ml izdelka in redna cena je 12.30€. 

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying maslo za telo

Maslo za telo se nahaja v steklenem kozarcu, ki me spominja na rustikalne embalaže domačih jogurtov ali vloženih jedi. Maslo dobite tudi v kartonasti sivi škatli.

Tekstura je bela gosta krema, ki je res podobna pravim maslom za telo. S prsti morate kar malo popraskati po embalaži, da dobite maslo ven in težje ga razporedite po telesu. Sama najprej razmažem maslo med rokami in šele nato nanesem na telo.

Maslo morate kar precej vmasirati v kožo, če ne ostane bel sloj. Na koži ne izgleda, niti se ne občuti mastno. Oblikuje zaščiten sloj na koži. Je rahlo vlažilno, ampak vsekakor ni bogata formula. Je bolj primerno za toplejše mesece. Koži da boljši izgled, rahlo nahranjen in bolj vlažilen.

V embalaži je 200 ml izdelka in redna cena je 13.50€. Trenutno ga lahko dobite za 8.90€ tukaj.

Vsi izdelki imajo svež in lesen vonj, ki me spominja na moške parfume. Nekaterim ta vonj mogoče ne bo všeč, ampak mene nekako spominja na spa vonje in me sploh ne moti. 

Obe maski za obraz sta mi všeč. Gommage je zelo nežna in odlična za občutljivo kožo, ki potrebuje nekaj za bolj gladko površino kože. Glinena maska je dobra osnovna glinena maska, ki očisti nepravilnosti na koži. Tudi piling za obraz mi je všeč, ker je zelo nežen. Če iščete kaj bolj grobega, ta zagotovo ne bo za vas. Ščetka za obraz je vsekakor ne iz moje strani in je ne bi priporočala nikomur. Piling za telo mi je všeč, predvsem zaradi tekoče teksture in lahkega nanašanja. Poleg tega je ravno dovolj grob. Tudi maslo za telo mi je všeč, ampak bi ga uporabljala bolj toplih mesecih. Je lahkotnejša formula in zato ene bo primerna za tiste z zelo suho kožo.

Review: Herbio AHA Fruit Peeling Mask

Hey Beauties!

I've already reviewed Kalei Cream from Herbio. If you're looking for a very moisturizing cream for the upcoming colder months, I highly recommend you this one. They gave me a chance to try another product and I chose the one, that I wanted to choose in the first place. It's their AHA Fruit Peeling Mask


It says that the mask has an effect of gentle peeling. It should remove dead skin cells, encourages skin regeneration, makes it flexible, softer and supple. It should also minimize the pores and help with pigmentation spots.

It's supposed to be for oily skin with impurities and enlarged pores.

The mask contains orange oil, lemon extract, cucumber extract, AHA glycol, lactic acid, bisabolol and allantoin. This mask doesn't contain and paraben or mineral oils.

It comes in their signature plastic pump dispenser packaging. The packaging is useful and keeps the product fresher for longer. 


The pump has a fairly big hole and you can get a lot of product out with one pump. You can control the amount with the amount of pressure you use. The only downside is that the product stays in that hole and it dries up. So you're actually wasting a bit of product with every use. 

It costs 9.95€ and you get 50 ml of it. You can buy it here



The mask actually seems more like a cream. It's firm and fairly thick. It has yellow color and it smells very fresh citrus like. 


I would say use two pumps for the whole face. It spreads like a cream and stays put for 10 minutes. I would say you may experience very slight tingling in the begging, but it vanishes quickly. Don't put it over wounds, because it will sting. 


When it dries it looses the sticky feeling and becomes matte. It seems to me something like if you would spread egg all over your face and let it dry. Not that I ever did that or know how it feels. However, it doesn't give you any tightening feeling. 


After you wash it off, you're left with soft hydrated smooth skin. Chemical peeling seems to be very mild. No irritations and it's even good for sensitive skin. I would also say this is good for dry skin, because the skin is hydrated and not at all dry, like after you use clay based masks. Plus it kind of helps with the dry patches and slightly gets rid of it. 

I can't talk about the pores, because I think this would be seen in a long run. I also don't have huge problems with pigmentation, so I can't say about that either. 

I usually use face mask before I go to bed, because I feel the skin has more time to soak up any beneficial ingredients and repair itself through the night. With this peeling mask my skin felt plumped and still well moisturized in the morning. 

My expectations of this mask were different. I thought that this would feel more like a chemical peeling and that the skin would be smooth as baby's skin. But the peeling property is so gentle, that is hard to notice sometimes. I almost think that this is better for sensitive and dry skin, which needs gentle removal of dead cells and more plumpness for dull skin. It also feels more moisturizing, then exfoliating. If you have a chance check out their products, because I think the formulas are quit amazing and the prices are not bad at all. 



Od znamke Herbio sem že ocenila kremo Kalei. Če iščete super vlažilno kremo za prihajajoče hladne mesece, vam vsekakor priporočam to. Herbio mi je zopet ponudil priložnost, da si izberem izdelek in tokrat sem se odločila za izdelek, med katerim sem kolebala že pri prvi odločitvi. Gre za njihovo AHA sadno piling masko.

Maska naj bi dajala učinek nežnega pilinga. Morala bi odstraniti odmrle celice kože. Ima tudi negovalni učinek, saj spodbudi regeneracijo kože, jo naredi prožno, mehko in voljno. Maska bi morala tudi zmanjšati pore in pomagati pri odstranjevanju pigmentnih madežev. 

Krema vsebuje olje pomaranč, izvleček limone in kumaric, AHA glikol, mlečno kislino, bisabolol in alantoin. Maska ne vsebuje parabenov ali mineralnih olj.

Nahaja se v njihovi tipični plastični embalaži na pumpico. Embalaža je zelo uporabna in izdelek ohranja dlje časa svež. 

Pumpica ima precej veliko odprtino in z enim pritiskom lahko dobite ven kar precejšnjo količino izdelka. Količino lahko kontrolirate s tem kako močno pritiskate na pumpico. Edina slabost pri tej luknji je, da se v njej nabere kar veliko izdelka, ki posuši. Zato pri vsaki uporabi zavržete nekaj izdelka. 

Cena maske je 9.95€ in dobite je 50 ml. Kupite jo lahko tukaj

Maska deluje bolj kot krema. Je precej trdna in gosta. Ima rumeno barvo in diši zelo sveže, po citrusih.

Predlagam, da uporabite dve pumpici za cel obraz. Z lahkoto se razmaže kot navadna krema in potem ostane na obrazu 10 minut. Na začetku lahko občutite zelo rahlo ščemenje, ki pa zelo hitro izgine. Ne nanašajte jo na rane, ker vas bo drugače pekla. 

Ko se posuši, ni več lepljiva na dotik, ampak postane čisto mat. Meni se zdi, kot da bi si namazala jajce po obrazu in pustila da se posuši. Ne da sem to kdaj dejansko poskusila, ampak nekako me spominja na to. Vseeno pa ni čutiti nobenega zategovanja na obrazu. 

O zmanjšanju por ne morem govoriti, ker se mi zdi, da bi bil tak učinek viden ob daljši uporabi. Tudi z pigmentnimi madeži nimam večjih problemov in zato ne morem komentirati tega učinka. 

Ko si jo sperete, je koža zelo mehka in navlažena. Kemični piling je res zelo blag. Občutila nisem nobenih iritacij in maska je vsekakor primerna tudi za občutljivo kožo. Zdi se mi, da bi bila maska super za suho kožo, ker kožo dokaj vlaži. Ni kot tipične maske na bazi gline, ki lahko kožo precej izsušijo. Poleg tega zaradi nežnega pilinga lahko pomaga pri suhih predelih in odstrani odmrlo kožo. 

Po navadi uporabim maske preden grem spat, ker se mi zdi, da koža zvečer bolj izkoristi vse dobre sestavine in se ima čas popraviti čez noč. Z to piling masko se zbudim z kožo, ki je zjutraj še vedno navlažena in voljna. 

Moja pričakovanja od te maske so bila bila drugačna. Mislila sem, da bo imela občutek kemičnega pilinga in da bo koža mehka kot otroška. V bistvu, pa je efekt pilinga zelo nežen, včasih skoraj neopazen. Maska se mi zdi skoraj bolj primerna za občutljivo in suho kožo, ki potrebuje nežno odstranjevanje odmrlih celic in poživitev puste kože. Se mi zdi, da je maska bolj vlažilna, kot kaj drugega. Če imate priložnost, si vsekakor preglejte nabor njihovih izdelkov, ker se mi zdijo formule precej dobre in cene prav tako niso slabe.

My favorite face masks

Hey Beauties!

I have to admit, that when it comes to face masks, I am not particularly picky. This is maybe due to the fact that I never seem to have time to take baths, or do face masks, or any kind of beauty routine, that needs a bit of time and work. I'm just horrible like that. I do have time for skin care routine and makeup, but everything else, pamper related, I just never seem to have time for. That being said, when I do finally remember to use face masks, I really like these. 


Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

This is a regular clay based mask. It's very cheap. This one is great for anyone with oily skin. It does a good job of cleaning the pores, so I love to use it at times when I have pimples or any nasty blackheads. It can be a bit drying, if you're skin is not oily, so be sure to moisturize after using it. 



It's very thick. To the pint, when it's hard to squeeze it out. It's one of those typical green clay masks, that you see in TV show scenes. You really need to smudge it nicely around the face, because it's very thick. If you use a thin layer, it will dry faster. You can see it drying, because it's becoming more of a lighter mint shade and it makes your face look like a Sahara desert. It feels pretty tightening on the face. 

It smells herbal with mix of mint. This is perfect for summer, because it almost feels a bit cooling, due to the mint in it.

You can get it on iherb for 3.90$ and you get 226 grams of it. They've changed the design, so now it looks a bit different. I've had this for literally more than a year. It's just huge and it will last you for a really long time. 


Balea Aqua Tuchmaske

I actually already reviewed this product here. It's hydrating sheet mask. Those sheet kind of masks, have become really popular lately. I guess our lifestyle is making our faces and bodies dehydrated, so anything hydrating is a must in skin care. 

This mask comes in a sheet shape of face, with the cut outs for lips and eyes. It's very moist and cold to the touch. It feels refreshing and hydrating. I love the fact that it's really moist, so that when you're done with it, you are still left with some product, which you just massage it into the skin.


It's definitely my favorite hydrating mask. It doesn't have any particular scent, just fresh smelling. You get one sheet mask for the price of 0.99€. You can buy it in Drogerie Markt stores. 


Avon Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask

I found this mask by a coincidence. Once I ordered tester of it, just for the fun of it. I loved it so much, but I couldn't find it in the Avon catalog anymore. Finally, it came back. Avon loves to change their lines, but fortunately you can still get a hold of this one every now and then.

This one is again clay based mask, but seems a bit more sophisticated. It's great for deep cleaning the pores.



It has a light lavender color and it has a texture of a thicker cream. It spreads nicely and it's definitely not as thick as Mint Julep Masque. When it dries it becomes very white. It also has that tightening feeling and the cracked look to it. It actually gets rid of the blackheads completely, but of course they tend to come back pretty quickly on my skin type. 

It has a very nice subtle sweet spa line scent. Seems pretty calming. 

I would use this for when I have a lot of blackheads and clogged pores. Mint Julep Masque is better for when I have pimples and problems with oiliness (summer time), because it just seems to dry up the pimples. 

This one is definitely pricier. The regular price is 11.50€ and you get 75 ml of it. I highly recommend you to wait for when it's on sale, because then it costs only around 3.50€. You can buy it at your local Avon seller


Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Gommage Face Mask with Dead Sea Minerals

Another great Avon mask, that I bought on a whim and found it very useful. It's a chemical peeling kind of mask. It uses acids to peel off top layer of your face and therefore making your skin a lot smoother. 

I love this one for one main reason. It only needs to sit on your face for 1 to 2 minutes. Music to my ears. I can slap it on, when I clean my face in the morning or evening, wait 2 minutes and I'm done. All other face masks require longer period of working time from 10 to 15 minutes, but this one is easy breezy. 



It comes out as an off white transparent and seems like a gel. It's still firm enough, so that it doesn't slip all around, but it's more on the thinner side. It spreads very smoothly and feels a bit sticky in the beginning. Then it dries to a completely non sticky layer, which is still shiny. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. 

It's also good for sensitive skin, because I don't experience any tingling or allergic reactions. Once you wash it off, you're left with ultra smooth skin. Isn't that just one of the best feelings ever? I love to use it when my skin surface gets a bit bumpy or when I tend to get dry patches. Very gentle chemical based mask.

The smell is somewhat manufactured like, not the most pleasant, but it's subtle enough, so that you won't notice it. 

This one costs 10.50€ for 50 ml, but as I said, wait for it to be on sale, because it's a lot cheaper. You can buy it at your local Avon seller


There you have my favorite masks. Just to recap. For when my skin feels dry, I love to use Balea Aqua Tuchmaske, because it's really hydrating. For when I get pimples, that are result of oilier skin I love to use Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque, because it dries up the pimples and cleans my pores. Blackheads are a stubborn thing, but Avon Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower mask gets rid of them completely, at least for some time. It's also a bit more gentle and not as drying as Mint Julep Masque. Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Gommage mask is great for times, when I get dry patches or my skin surface just feels bumpy. It makes my skin ultra smooth.

Since, I am not an expert on face masks and I actually don't use them a lot, I would love to hear what are your favorite face mask. Maybe I'll even expend my collection and start using them more.

Review: Balea Aqua Tuchmaske (hydrating sheet mask)

Hey Beauties!

I just have to make a separate blog post about this mask. Usually I never review such cheap one-use products, but this one is a complete star. I'll just admit that most of Balea stuff don't really get me excited, so I was very surprised how much I liked this.


Since I've been seeing those sheet masks all over the internet, I also wanted to give it a try. I saw that Balea had one for hydrating the skin and I gave it a go. It costs only 0.99€.

It's one sheet mask and it comes in this plastic bag. It's suppose to hydrate and pick up dull skin. It contains algal extract, almond oil and rose hip oil.



The ingredients list.


When you take the sheet out, you immediately notice that it's really wet. Some moisture even stays on the bottom of the bag. 


I find that it fits nicely on my face, but the eye opening could have been wider. It's so wet that it sticks on the face and doesn't move. It feels like a mixture of gel and water to me. It's really smooth and slippery, but not in any way like a cream. More like a hydrating gel. I leave it on for as long as I have time to and it does a good job of hydrating the skin. It's also pretty cool because of the water, so it's also a bit cooling.


When I take the mask off I'm left with a lot of product on my skin and it says to just massage the rest of it into the skin. It's all very cooling and hydrating and it feels lovely on the skin in those summer days. 

I feel like my skin did feel a lot more hydrated after I used this and the proof was another day when I woke up with nourished skin. I've mentioned in one of my previous posts that I recently had problems with very dry and irritated skin. As my last solution I used this mask (because I already used it once before and I really liked it). I swear my skin was perfect the next day. Yes, I did use some other products a few days before trying to combat the dryness, but this one did the last trick and it turned my skin back to normal.

Here you can see how the skin looked like before I put the mask on (with nothing on) and how it looked like after I took the mask off.


Think I'm done convincing you. It's 0.99€, just try it and do let me know how you like it. If you have problems with dry skin this is perfect and it's a great pamper product for when you're in that kind of mood.
