[ETUDE HOUSE] Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam *Nuts Mix*

Yesterday I wrote about yogurt face masks and today I wanna review another 'yogurt' product I purchased a few month ago. The Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam from [ETUDE HOUSE] was available in five (5) different types:
- Black Food Mix (Black Bean & Black Sesame Seed)
- Cereal Mix (Rice & Adlay)
- Fruit Mix (Apple & Lime)
- Nuts Mix (Walnut & Sunflower Seed)
- Super Berry Mix (Raspberry & Pomegranate)

I got my one from eBay where they sold just two types (Nuts Mix, Cereal Mix), so I decided to get the Nuts Mix. Now this product has already been discontinued and being replaced by the Peel so good foam cleansers.

Description: Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam contains yogurt (Lactobacillus) and fine granules to gently exfoliate, nourish and radiate dull complexion. Nut Mix consists of Walnut & Sunflower Seed extracts.
The cleansing foam comes in a 150ml tube with a blue flip-top lid. The white tube is speckled with light brown 'dots'.
The Nuts Mix Cleansing Foam contains ingredients like Water, Glycerin, Silica, Yogurt Powder (30mg), Honey Extract, Walnut Shell Extract, Walnut Shell Powder, Sunflower Seed Oil, Polygonatum Officinale Rhizome/ Root Extract, Fragrance and more.
This cleanser is a 2in1 product: Cleansing Foam + Exfoliator
Although it's a kind of a 'facial scrub' it can be used daily coz it's gentle enough.
The consistency is thick and creamy, it has a brownish-white color and contains lots of brown granules from the walnuts. These granules peel your skin while washing your face!
The scent is very soft & milky - it reminds me of the Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam I used a while ago.
Currently I use this cleanser only in the morning and till now I'm quite satisfied with it. It peels my skin without being too harsh and it doesn't dry out my skin as well. 
If I had the chance to get all sorts before I would choose the Black Food Mix, though. That one was rather for 'healing' the skin while Nuts Mix does nourish.
How to use: Wet face and dispense small amount onto hands. Lather and apply foam to face, gently massage entire area. Wash and rinse thoroughly with warm water. 

Price: around 10,- €/ US$12
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)      

What I love:  
The soft scent and the gentle peeling effect. 

What I don’t like:  
There is nothing I don't like yet! 

Will I buy this again? I probably would try another type but it's discontinued already!

[SKINFOOD] Banana Yogurt Mask & Kiwi Yogurt Mask *Wash off*

While I was looking for new face masks containing yogurt I stumbled over [SKINFOOD]'s Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off and Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off. I got these two because banana is said to be good for sensitive skin and the kiwi one for oily skin. I would like to try out the Papaya Yogurt Mask as well, though.

I know that a lot of reviews exist already, especially of the Banana Yogurt Mask. Therefore, I will keep this review short!
Both face masks come in the same white, round container - it's the same design as of many other [SKINFOOD] products. There is no spoon/ spatula included, so you need to use your fingers or a pack brush to get the products out.
Each mask contains 100ml!

Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off:
Description: Yogurt mask with 'banana' extracts to prevent skin dehydration and softly soothe sensitive skin.

The main ingredients in this face mask are Banana Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. Some other ingredients are Water, Macadamia Seed Oil and Matricaria Flower Extract.
Underneath the twist-off lid is another white cover to protect the mask inside from spilling out.
The connsistency is creamy but also very runny. It's a bit difficult to apply the mask to my face coz of its watery/ runny texture. It has a yellowish color with yellow beads inside. These beads start to melt when I massage the Yogurt Mask over my face.
It smells like sweet bananas!
I like this mask coz it refreshes, soothes and moisturizes my dry/ sensitive skin well. 
I apply the mask to my face with a pack brush and massage it over my skin until the beads are melted, then I wait for some minutes and wash it off.
How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off

Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off:
Description: Yogurt mask with extracts of 'kiwi', tropical fruit rich in vitamin and juice.

The two (2) main ingredients are Kiwi Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. It also contains Water, Macadamia Seed Oil, Amorphophallus Konjac Root Extract and Zinc Sulfate.
The Kiwi Yogurt Mask shall control sebum and tightens pores!
Like the Banana Yogurt Mask this one has a runny texture. The greenish-white mask has green beads inside and a tropical/ citrus-like scent.
While massaging the product on my skin the beads start to melt again. I like this mask, too, even though I didn't notice a pore tightening effect yet.
How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off 

Price (each): around 8~9,- €/ US$9~10
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)     

What I love:  
Both masks are refreshing and moisturizing.  

What I don’t like:  
The texture is a bit too runny.  

Will I buy this again? Yes, I would. Might consider to get the Papaya Yogurt Mask first, tough.

[Holika Holika] Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack *green tea*

I received a new face mask which I wanted to try out since I saw it a few month ago. The Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack from [Holika Holika] is a moisturizing face mask. It is available with wild berries and green tea. I had some problems to find english informations about this product but now I know that wild berry has a refreshing effect and green tea a brightening effect. I decided to get green tea because it shall make a bright and clean skin. Both masks are good for dry skin!

Description: Highly moisturizing wash off type yogurt pack including nutrition-enriched sheep milk.
The (glass) jar contains 75ml, got a cute sticker with a sheep and green tea on it and has a metal/ aluminium lid.
The white cover underneath the lid protects the product again.
The Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack with green tea contains Sheep Milk Extract (75mg), Yogurt Powder (75mg) and Green Tea Extract (75mg).
The consistency is rather creamy and got a greenish color. It smells like green tea which isn't a really new scent for me. I'm pretty sure I got another product with a similar scent.
Compared with other mud masks this yogurt mask doesn't get dry after applying it to my face. 
It gets a bit absorbed by my skin only!
I will use this wash off pack when my skin is very dry coz it moisturizes quite well. My skin is less dry and flakey afterwards! It works a bit like the Yogurt Wash-off Pack from [ETUDE HOUSE]. Good for hot days as well!!

How to use: After washing your face, apply skin toner, pour the right amount and apply the product throughout your face except for near your eyes and mouth, and wash it off after 5~10 minutes with warm water.
DO NOT EAT THE CONTENT! 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 
It does moisturize my skin well.

What I don’t like:  
There is nothing I dislike atm.  

Will I buy this again? I don't think so, but if I will buy it again then the wild berry one.
