Today I thought I'd do a review on the "Soap and Glory no clogs allowed deep pore detox mask" (wow that's a long title!)
I have been using this product once a week for the past few months and I have to say I'm still undecided about whether I like it enough to rebuy it or not...
According to the Soap and Glory site it deep cleans, melts away pore-plugging sebum and softens keratinised
skin cells to prevent breakouts and blemishes. Just massage on, and stop
when the paste changes from yellow to blue. No clogs allowed is
perfect for weekly use on areas prone to blackhead build-up, or more
often as a deep-oil-emulsifying, detoxifying face mask and all-round
scrubby WONDER!
When I first saw this I was very intrigued (and to be honest a little nervous) with the self heating part of it but I went ahead and tried it out anyway. First of all I'd say make sure to shake it REALLY well, otherwise the product will separate and it will come out really watery.. I applied a grape sized amount all over my face (avoiding my eyes) and massaged it in. I wouldn't say it was yellow like they do on the Soap and Glory site it's more of a greeny, grey colour and it smells to me a little bit like hair dye but it's not a strong unpleasant smell and it has a fine grit in it so it doesn't feel like you're scrubbing away at your face. After my face was covered I wet my fingers and started to rub again, it definitely changed colour to a light blue and it is quite an unusual feeling, and much warmer than I expected, but not
uncomfortably hot. It only warms up the first time you wet and scrub
it, after that it cools back down, finally I waited 5 minutes and washed it off with a wet cloth.
RESULTS!
It made my skin feel super soft (like baby skin soft) so I think it definitely gave my face a deep clean, it did leave my cheeks slightly red and blotchy though for a few hours after each use (I looked a little flushed) but I'm not sure if that's just due to the heat or if my skin just isn't keen on one of the ingredients as I wouldn't class my skin as sensitive so I think if you do have sensitive skin maybe stay away from this product or do a skin test first!
Price wise I think it's not bad at £11.50 a tube as it does seem to last a while with it being only a once a week treatment and you can sometimes buy it cheaper on Amazon.
I hope you found this review useful and I would love to read in the comments below if you have tried this out and what you thought of it or if you have any other recommendations for face masks that I could try and maybe do another review on in a month or so!
