Dead Sea Minerals Killed My Dragon Skin!!

I battle with dry, scaly skin on my face. It's very frustrating and I have recently realized I need to be more vigilant with my skin care. I have been purchasing one or two face care items at a time because funds are extremely limited. My first facial moisturizer was a thumbs down and we won't even mention it. I have done a couple of sheet masks that I have reviewed and they were nice, but I still had scales. Tuesday I went to Dollar General with my boyfriend for a few items that we needed for the house. I walked over to the beauty section to see if they had any sheet masks that looked interesting. I didn't see any sheet masks but I did see a Dead Sea Mineral Anti-Stress Clay Face Mask (Not the Freeman's one). I thought anything that is anti-stress is worth trying so I went ahead and picked up the last three they had. I also picked up a new moisturizer that I will be reviewing later.

 So last night after my shower, I exfoliated with my St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I then went ahead and used the Dead Sea Minerals mask. It was blue!! It was my first time ever using a clay mask so I was quite tickled with the whole process. It felt so weird!! It didn't really have any kind of smell to it. There was really no sensations until later when it started to dry and then I could feel a tightening of my face that wasn't unpleasant at all. The instructions said to relax and allow the mask to dry. I felt fun and silly with a blue face so instead, I took a bunch of Snapchat pics, and posted on Instagram and Twitter and Facebook. I loved it. It was a fun experience for me. 

Once it was dry, I wet a washrag with warm water and began wiping it off. And then I rinsed my wash rag, and then I wiped some more, and then rinsed, and then wiped, and repeat....lol. It was a long, blue process. After I finally got all the blue off my face I gently patted dry my face with a clean towel. I didn't notice any dry patches. I touched my face. Oooooh...It felt so smooth!!! Then I put on my Elf Cosmetics Illuminating Eye Cream and my new moisturizer. I touched my face again. Ohmygoodness!! I was in face texture heaven!!! My face hasn't felt this nice and smooth in so long. I almost cried. It's the next morning as I'm writing this and I've washed my face and applied my eye cream and moisturizer for the day and my face is still baby smooth. I am so impressed. I'm very glad I have two more of these masks because I will certainly be using them. Now I have to stock up on some more.

 I am disappointed that I cannot find a website for them directly to give them credit. I posted a link above where they can be purchased. I bought mine at Dollar General. They were $1 each. You really cant go wrong with that. And there was enough product in the package that you could probably do two masks if you want to do masks with a friend. I highly recommend this product!!

YesTo Coconut or CocoNOT?

Last Monday I tried out YesTo Cucumbers Soothing Calming Paper Mask. I completely enjoyed it. So my super amazing boyfriend went and got me another one and picked me up another "flavor" of the YesTo masks. Today I gave YesTo Coconut Hydrate & Restore ultra hydrating Paper Mask a try. The scent was very subtle yet certainly very nice and coconutty. I applied it, sat back and relaxed for the next 10 minutes. It was very enjoyable. No burning or irritation. My face was very red when I removed the mask. Much redder than when I removed the cucumber mask. The redness all faded away after about 30 minutes or so. Overall it was a nice mask. The only gripe I had with it is that it didn't seem to be any more hydrating than the cucumber mask. I will give it another try and see if I feel any different about it. YesTo products can be found at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, or your local drug store.

Cool as a Cucumber!!

My super duper awesome bestest ever boyfriend bought me my first sheet mask upon my request today!! It was the YesTo Cucumbers Soothing Calming Paper Mask. I enjoyed this face mask. It was cooling and it smelled very nice. I applied it, closed my eyes and sat back to relax. I didn't have any problems with irritation. After ten minutes or so I simply removed it and rubbed in the leftover residue and then went about my business. My face was a little red afterwards, but my face is always red. I plan on trying the coconut one next because I need moisturizing products the most. These cucumber masks would be great to keep in the fridge in the summer for those days when you just need to cool off. I need to stock up now because, yeah, state of Georgia! Yes To products can be found at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, or your local drug store. Also, here is YesTo's website  for more information about the brand and products they offer. 

One Fabulous Hot Mess

I recently had the opportunity to indulge in the most fabulous Hot Mess my skin has had the pleasure to moisturize in. I'm talking about Perfectly Posh's Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess. This hand creme was so smooth and satiny and the musky pink pepperpod smell was completely and absolutely delightful. I have used lotions before that were watery or left an oily feel on my hands that just wasn't pleasant. Hot Mess was definitely neither. Hot Mess features coconut oil, vitamin e, and aloe, as well as apricot kernel oil to moisturize and hydrate your hands and leave them feeling so soft and silky. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to pamper their hands! Posh is always having great deals on their products so keep an eye out!! The Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess is only $9 right now and is part of a promo deal. I will certainly be purchasing asap!
