Spring is finally here. At least the calendar says so, but the weather gods say something else. While the closet needs a much-needed re-shuffle, it's my skin which I decided to concentrate on first. Spring Cleaning your Skin, I call it.
I have trying out a host of new products from
Dr. Brandt Skin Care for the past month or so. While I reviewed the
Sleeping Mask in a post earlier, the most intriguing product, was surely
Dr. Brandt Skincare Magnetight Age Defier Mask.
I am in my mid-30s, and I live in the Midwest which is known for its long Winter. Did I mention that I have dry and sensitive skin? I do use makeup regularly. I am very diligent about my skin care routine and no matter how tired I am, I don't usually skimp on it. Yes, I might use hacks or a shorter routine every now and then. Being on the other side of 40 means I do incorporate anti-aging products as well. When I first received the product and read about it, I must say, that it was more gimmicky maybe.
Why you ask? Well, the mask looks like a regular mask at first sight. You use a spatula(which comes in the pack) to apply a thin layer all over your face. Once the mask has dried, then you use the Magnet to remove it. I hadn't used a product like this before, so excitement and curiosity were at an all-time high. The product claims to use magnetic currents to ap away visible signs of skin aging. The mask is infused with iron magnetic particles that draw out everyday impurities and residue trapped in the skin. It's free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates
As I have dry and sensitive skin, masks can often dry me out, so I was also a bit skeptical of other things. As I sit back and write this post, I have used the mask a few times now. I applied the mask according to the package instructions and let it dry. Then you are supposed to wrap a tissue paper around the magnet and use it to remove the mask. I missed the tissue paper part and in the excitement used the magnet directly. It wasn't painful or didn't irritate my skin, as the magnet pulled away from the mask.
Once the mask is removed, it leaves an oily film on the skin. Please do not wash or tissue dry your face. Just massage that oily film/liquid into the skin. Let the firming peptides, emollients, antioxidants, and essential oils soak in.
Ideally, I would not have purchased the product if I had first heard of it. But now that I have used it multiple times, I can see how effective it is. It did a good job in drawing the gunk out of my pores and leaving my skin hydrated. Often with such cleansing masks, my skin feels too tight after using it, but it didn't feel dry after I had used this product. I love using it before the weekend, and my skin gets all ready for the detox.
So this is how I Spring Cleaned my Skin! What's your Spring cleaning plans? Let me know in the comments.
