HOW TO:

1. Smooth over a cleansed face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area

2. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes

3. Remove with a warm damp cotton wash cloth

My skin feels dull and is red.

I applied this face mask as even as possible, it feels okay, soothing and good.

After 15 minutes I feel like it has sinked into my skin.

Removal with warm water and a cloth, my skin is red now but that is normally how my skin is after removal.

Once the redness had gone down it looked brighter, felt clean but not like all of the hydration and natural oils have been sucked out. I will be using it over and over again.
