[SKINFOOD] Black Sesame Hot Mask

A face mask from [SKINFOOD] I use as peeling occasionally is the Black Sesame Hot Mask.
This heating mask is highly moisturizing and provides deep cleansing. I would recommend it for almost all skin types except for very sensitive skin.

Description: Warm heat mask with salt and sugar powder to deep cleanse wastes in rough skin with accumulated keratin and with nutritious black sesame powder to make smooth skin.

Like the Rice Mask and the Egg White Pore Mask the Black Sesame Hot Mask is inside a medium-sized milky white but still translucent container. As I said before already, I like those round containers coz they can be stacked up. You get 110g of this peeling mask!

I think that underneath the twist-off lid/ cap was a second cover again but I threw it away already.

Inside the container the mask has a thick and slightly sticky consistency. When I massage it over my moist face it gets a rather oil-like texture. I don't feel a strong heating effect, though.

The color of the mask is charcoal grey/ brownish but looks also a bit clear on the skin. I can see the black sesame seeds which exfoliate the skin. The scent is from the sesame as well.

Some ingredients of the Black Sesame Hot Mask are Sucrose (Sugar), Glycerine, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Powder, Ether Myristate, Lanolin Wax, Dimethicone, Methyl Paraben and Parfum.

The peeling effect is acceptable but could be better, though. I also hoped that it will heat up more. What I don't like is that the mask becomes rather oily on the skin.

How to use: After washing, apply to wet face, avoiding eye areas. Massage in circular motion, focusing on dry areas, wait 3-5 minutes, and then wash off with warm water.
If used in a hot environment such as a bathroom or sauna, mask can overheat.

Price: around 9,- €/ US$12

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love on this mask.

What I don’t like:  

That the mask becomes oily and doesn't heat up much.

Will I buy this again? No, I don't think I will.

[Holika Holika] Soda Pore Cleansing *O2 Bubble Mask*

I own mainly mud masks or sheet masks, so when I saw that [Holika Holika] released the O2 Bubble Mask of their Soda Pore Cleansing line I had to get it. This product belongs to the same product line as the Powder Wash which I reviewed earlier already.

Description: Removes waste and toxins, as well as supplies oxygen to the skin. Contains Gold Kiwifruit extracts which help exfoliates the skin.

 
 
The O2 Bubble Mask comes in a simple white plastic pump bottle with a blue sticker on it. The lid is translucent-white. The bottle contains 100ml and the pump is easy to use. 
The mask has a gel-like consistency and looks slightly blue when I pump it out. On my skin it changes to bubble foam. I like the sparkling feeling!! 
The scent is the same as from the Powder Wash - kinda citrus-like.
 
After a few minutes, when there are enough bubbles, I take a little bit of water and massage my face. The bubble foam changes to a creamy foam again. Then I wash it off!! 
The O2 Bubble Mask isn't bad. I just have the problem that sometimes my skin starts to burn after I applied the mask, especially around my eye area. Because of that I use this mask just from time to time. It contains Baking Powder, Gold Kiwi, Tea Tree and Sparkling Water. Baking Powder is good for removing blackheads.

How to use: Take a proper amount and spread it over your face. Wait for a few minutes, until there are enough bubbles, then take a little water and massage your face. Wash it off with warm water!

Price: around 15,50,- €/ US$20

Sometimes it burns on my skin! 

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!
