Doing A Bit Of Unclogging

About once or twice a week I like to treat myself to a face mask and let the stresses of the day be drawn out of me like the dirt is drawn out of my pores. However with there being so many face masks out there with so many miraculous claims it can feel a bit daunting to choose one. Personally I like face masks which are designed to unclog pores and eradicate blackheads because that it probably my most major skin concern. Therefore it seemed the most obvious choice to go for Soap & Glory's quite bold No Clogs Allowed facemask which boasts its 'Colour Changing Active' and '1-minute hot Poreclear technology'.

Soap & Glory claim that this is perfect for people with greasy and blackhead prone skin and, according to the Boots website face mask contains salicylic acid for 'skin smoothing and cell renewal', jojoba beads which 'pop open when you press them' and pumice for 'polishing and smoothing the skin'.

Personally I really like this face mask! I think that the self-heating and colour change properties of it which are activated when it is mixed with water are a little bit gimmicky as the heat, although nice and warm when you first apply it to the skin, goes pretty quickly and the colour change is hardly noticeable. However when I wash this mask off I always think my skin looks a little bit more radiant, and the next morning (I usually do face masks in the evening) my blackheads do appear to be less noticeable. It comes with a sponge but personally I prefer to use a regular face cloth and that works just as well. I can't say for certain that it actually gets rid of my blackheads but when I have been regularly using this I don't see them as such a big concern. As for the ingredients the presence of salicylic acid is encouraging because this is an ingredient known to help get rid of blackheads. If you are looking for more of a gritty, scrub-like texture to your face mask this one isn't for you as, although you can feel the occasional bead I was surprised to find that it contains pumice for 'polishing' the skin and the fact that some of the jojoba beads pop when you press them was interesting because I've never tried this.

Personally I think I would buy it again, on offer, as I really enjoy using this product and I only use the 'grape-sized' amount recommended meaning it has lasted absolutely ages so you won't need to regularly repurchase it. The price has increased to £11.50 from when I first purchased this product making it a more pricey item (however Boots do currently have it on a 3 for 2 offer here).

I hope you have found this review helpful and please leave a comment if you have used this too!
