Beauty: Superdrug Dead Sea Mud mask // Review


I wanted to pick up a new drug store face mask this month since my skin hasn't been looking great. I have been getting a lot of blackheads lately and I can't get rid of them with my usual skin care products.
So I decided to try out the Dead Sea Mud mask from Superdrug which was £2.59




When I first applied this mask it seemed to be good quality although it did have a bit of a strong scent to it which I wasn't too bothered about as I quite liked the smell. However, if you don't like earthy type of smells then it may not be the mask for you. On the plus side, the smell doesn't linger after removing the mask.

This mask really burned my skin the first few minutes of using it which was not comfortable at all but hey, my mum always told me that if it buns then it means it's working! After the burning stopped, it felt quite nice on my skin and I let it on for the recommended amount of time.

As soon as I removed it, I noticed that my skin was a bit irritated and red which worried me at first but this may be because I have sensitive skin. If you are going to buy this product, I recommend not using it right before you need to go out. Leave at least one hour for your skin to rest, especially if your skin is sensitive like mine.

The results on my skin weren't too impressive. I noticed that the mask did reduce the big pores I have around my nose and chin which was amazing however, this did not last very long as a few hours later my pores were back to normal.
Another good thing about it was that it made my skin feel super soft but again this did not last.
It did not remove my blackheads which is understandable as that's not what it's supposed to do, but I at least expected it to clear my pores a bit as it claims to do that.

Overall, this mask is good if you are on a budget as it is very cheap and for a quick pamper as it does make your skin feel good initially. However, I am sure there are much better products than this, which last longer.




Leave me any suggestions of good skincare products for blackheads that you'd like me to try out.
Until next time!
