Hi everyone! I finally have some time to spend on my blog!
So most of you may now know, I have been pretty busy with Miss Singapore Global!
Just completed a few photo shoots and video interviews the past weeks, and with all the time spent with thick makeup, my sensitive skin has suffered :(
I managed to keep the worse from happening with facials (thank my godma) and with (a new favourite) Blissoma Solutions Smooth A+ Serum! And yes, after the sample, I got it in full size!
Read my previous review on the serum here!
Thank you Charis Naturals!
And now, I have another review to share:
Blissoma Solutions Refine Clay Renewal Mask!
Clogged pores are one of the prime reasons for acne flareups, and REFINE keeps pores open. Willowbark gently dissolves away dead skin cells even without scrubbing, which can aggravate very sensitive skin. The clays and minerals soften pores and encourage them to detox properly. The Zinc content in REFINE also manages bacteria on the surface of the skin and topically soothes.
This Rhassoul clay based mask also has beneficial ingredients added into it like organic Licorice to lighten sun damage, Willowbark to exfoliate, and a bevy of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs to soothe and prevent flareups. Unrefined Oils of organic Cranberry seed and organic Red Raspberry straight from pressing offer nourishment and natural source Vitamin E.
To Use:
Wash skin with mild soap or crème cleanser. Apply a consistent layer of clay to face and neck or to troubled spots as needed. Wait 15 minutes or until dry. Remove with warm water and gently pat dry. Tone and moisturize. For most skin types use once weekly.
You can dot it on a blemish and leave it on overnight too.

Having a combination skin that leans towards the oily side, I am a fan of clay based mask as I find them really effective in drawing out trapped sebum from my pores.I was surprised to find that even though this is a clay based mask, it doesnt leave my face feeling super tight or constricted as it dries up. And after washing it off, it leaves my face feeling soft, clean and naturally scented! As for the sensitivity side of my skin, no irritation or any new breakout after usage, in fact, it does help improve my overall skin condition with the use of Smooth A+ Serum!
The only concern I would like to bring up to users, is to take note during application as the mask comes in a container. So wash your hands properly or use a spatula to scoop the product out to limit contamination~
Other than that, I have no complains and am very satisfied with it!
If you are looking for a mask, why not give this a try!
