The Face Shop - Blackhead Out White Clay Nose Pack- Mask Review

This post is joining my mask series that I have started last month on the blog.

This is the 4th mask I'm reviewing for you guys, 

You can check the previous reviews here:

• TONYMOLY Tomatox Magic Massage Pack
• Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
• MISSHA - BLACK GHASSOUL PEEL-OFF NOSE PACK

This nose pack mask is coming from yet another Korean brand, because I'm all about the K-Beauty :)

The Face Shop is a Korean brand that I'm only now discovering. It's very popular on the market but I have no idea why it took me so long to try any of their products.

The Blackhead out is actually a full range of products besides this white clay mask you can find also nose strips, cleansing foam and gel oil. So obviously for the best results it's recommended to use the all line of products.

The Face Shop - Blackhead Out White Clay Nose Pack- Mask Review

What the product promises:

A Perfect cleansing line effective for removing blackheads and dead skin cells.

Peel-off type of blackhead nose strip Formulated with volcanic clay, this purifying nose pack helps to clarify the skin by removing blackheads and impurities.

It leaves the skin soft and clean!

This mask acts just like any other nose strip to remove blackheads. The only difference is the application. I don't recommend using it as a full face mask! apply it only on your nose and chin! The reason is that it's very very sticky and may pull out hair from your face , sort of like waxing.

Directions of use:

Apply an even layer on the nose area. Leave on 10 to 15 minutes or until completely dry. 

Gently peel off from outer edges.

I apply this mask using a synthetic brush with hard bristles because I find it easier that way, the mask is very sticky and it makes just things easier, faster and the application is even. 

This mask is very similar to the Missha one that I reviewed here. But since buying this one my Missha one was completely neglected.

I love the scent, it's very floral gentle, it dries super quick and the peeling also is very easy. You should apply a good layer of the product not too thin but not too thick and make sure to rub in deep. Once the mask is completely dry you'd want to peel it very slowly and gently. while peeling off the mask you should notice some of the blackheads peeling off with it.

After using this mask I do feel like I deep cleansed my pores, but still like all other nose strips I don't really see any difference or an impact on the blackheads situation. I did notice it removed some of the blackheads but not completely so I'm yet again disappointed. 

I will continue using it but I won't be repurchasing this one. Maybe other people will see more of an impact but personally for me it's a pass.

If you're interested in trying it out, it's super affordable and you can buy it here.

Pantene pro-V Review & Hair Care Routine

I've been thinking about writing about my hair care routine that might seem very unusual to some people. So, what better opportunity than to share with you my current favorite products and what I do to care for my hair :)

Let's start with the basics: 

The first step for me is applying a small amount of conditioner on wet hair from my ears down and distribute it to the ends. This is my first step when washing my hair. I know what you're thinking.. what?! you don't wash your hair with a shampoo first? the answer is NO. I've been doing this for the past 2 years and it's called Reverse Washing. 

This trick is the secret for achieving perfect hair. Believe me this is a game changer. If your hair is thin\oily and\or prone to product build up this method is for you. The Theory behind this method is that not matter how well you rinse your hair after conditioning, you never quite manage to get it all out and the residue weighs your hair down, making it flat and prone to oiliness.

The second step is applying shampoo to the crown of your head. And you'll notice you need less product than the traditional method to get a good lather because some of the dirt from the hair had been removed with the first rinse with the conditioner.

I've got the chance to try our the new Pantene pro-v shampoo & conditioner. The ones I'm currently using are from the Classic Care series for normal hair.

what the product promises?

Pantene Pro-V refreshes your hair. The antioxidant-rich product gently cleanses hair, removing styling buildup, leaving your mane shiny from root to tip. A simple solution for any hair type, Classic Clean is an easy, shareable product that provides manageability whether your hair is long, short, curly, wavy or straight, prepping it for any style. Gentle enough for color-treated hair, the shampoo provides strength against damage while leaving hair feeling moisturized for 24 hours. 

I love this pair I use them together, after I wash my hair I feel it's much more manageable than using other products: my hair feels soft, easy to brush through and less frizzy. 

I don't wash my hair daily I "trained my hair" to be washed every 3 days. to some it sounds crazy but once your hair is trained not to be washed every single day it becomes stronger, healthier and doesn't get oily so fast. Experts say there's no single answer to how often people should wash their hair. You may not need to do it as often as you think. It usually comes down to personal preference. 

Shampoo traps oils, so if you do it too frequently, you may dry your hair out, leaving it prone to breakage. Your hair produces natural oil called sebum, and the shampoo is an emulsifier that captures and traps the excess oil, dirt, and product residue, which you then rinse out to clean the hair, For the most part, some dirt is OK and natural - and you definitely want some oils to remain in your hair. They provide moisturizing and a protection barrier for the skin and hair.

If you have trouble training your hair I recommend using a dry shampoo in the morning to get rid off oiliness in the roots and also leaving your hair smelling wonderful like you just washed it. this will definitely help you extend the period between the washes.

After washing my hair I like to style it by blow drying it when it's about 70% dry to eliminate frizz. and then going with a curling wand and creating a beachy style hair. If you want to try out some fun and and easy hair tutorials, please check out Pantene's Channel on YouTube
