Good Things Five Minute Facial Mask


 
★★★★★
£5.99 - Boots/Superdrug'Good Things Facial Skincare has been developed by Award-Winning Beauty Writer Alice Hart-Davis using her years of expertise in the Beauty'

I'd been looking for a good face mask for a while so when I was sent this to try out I couldn't wait to slather it on and see what happened. The first thing you'll notice is the packaging which is well designed and eye catching, as well as the mention that it's 'FREE FROM: Parabens, Mineral Oils, Sodium Laureth Sulphate & Animal Ingredients' which is always a plus! One of the huge positives for me is the scent, it smells fruity and delicious so if you like fragranced products - this is one for you.

The mask itself has quite a thick consistency making it easy to apply an even layer to your skin, be sure to avoid the delicate eye area though! I found this dried and hardened after 3-4 minutes which I love as it feels like it's actually working. The most interesting thing I found was that you end up with little dots around your pores, for me it's mainly on my nose, where it appears to almost be extracting the oil. (Attractive, ey?) I remove the mask with warm water and muslin cloth so my skin gets a gentle exfoliation at the same time. Afterwards my skin feels really soft, clean and the pores around my nose look clear and improved. I do find it leaves you with a bit of a tight feeling but nothing a bit of moisturiser can't fix!

For me, it gets the thumbs up!

  1. Drugstores and these sorts of brands are what I miss most about the UK! Can't wait to go back for a visit and try them out as I've heard alot of good stuff about Good Things and this looks so pretty in the pot and sounds great :) xx

  2. I've always seen this brand throughout boots, but never thought to pick any of the products up. They always remind me of the products ive brought over the years that never work. But maybe i might just have to give this a try.

    Im having a blog sale please check it out

  5. I like the fact that it does'nt contain SLS or Parabens which is quite rare to find in most drugstores. I shall have to pick this up on my next trip to boots :)

  13. I love this face mask, its a lot softer on the skin when it dries than others. I keep meaning to do a review but need to wait until my skin looks a bit better, great review, really shows it for the amazing product it is!
