EVOHE - My Favourite Mask

So if you're like me, some days your skin just doesn't want to look nice. Whether you have a face full of pimples or a perfect complexion, there will be days where you look dull or mega oily or just not quite right. I found I was getting a lot of these days about a year or two ago. I have managed to get on top of it now, no more bright red, painful lumps on my cheeks from pimples that aren't even there. No more oily t-zone and dry cheeks. I have experimented with a lot of products to get past this. Proactiv helped jump start me on my way to clear skin, it helped clear up and even out my skin by formal! BUT the one thing that has stayed consistent is my love for the Evohe Silica Mask.

I have gotten bored or annoyed with most products after using my first bottle (if that). Proactiv annoyed me because the stuff dried my skin after a while and i used three containers of moisturiser for one lot of cleanser, which I still have half full. The masks I've used are awesome but there's only been one I'd buy again.

I've used Yes to Tomato:

It turned my face bright red when I first used it, but I found I'd used it too thickly and later used a VERY thin coat which worked well.

I've used Freeman's Cucumber Peel-Off Mask:

It is pretty good. A lot of fun to peel off and it gives your face a soft clear feel when you are done. AND it can be manipulated to look like peeling flesh! So stay posted and I'll show you how to do this for yourself.

I've used a Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask:

It smells so yummy and you come away with a nice feel to your skin.

I've used the Proactiv Mask:

I use it when I run out of my others. It's OK for a spot treatment but it's annoying to get off, the stuff goes everywhere and I guess if it was absolutely amazing it would be worth it... but I've used better.

AND I have used a lot of sample packets; none of which stood out to me enough to even know what they were called... I remember one was black :)

The only mask I have ever considered re-buying was my trusty Evohe Silica Mask. I have just cut its container open to get the last scraps out. I have owned the stuff for probably three years now; so it goes a long way. I bought the mask at some all natural cosmetics and stuff shop outside of Woolworth's one day. It cost me (thanks to me never taking the price off!) $39.50.  or $44.90 on this website:http://www.evohe.com.au/products_listing.ews?products.ewdCategory=4
Yes I know it's a lot, but it has been worth it.

There is two ways of using it.


And I guess I need to say "please test this product before using it"

1. Firstly apply a thin layer all over your face and allow to dry. This should take roughly 10mins.
2. Once it is dry, rub it into your face with dry hands.
3. Then you have two options
    a) wash it off - I tend to wet my hands and continue rubbing it off that way if I have time
    b) leave it - sleep with your face still at step 2 and wash it off in the morning (my preferred way)
4. Moisturise!

This mask can dry your skin if you leave it on overnight so I suggest always moisturise with your favourite moisturiser. I like Sukin Facial Moisturiser, which I got from the same shop as Evohe.

This Evohe mask, I find is gentle on the skin. It will get rid of that annoying excess oil you just can't get rid off sometimes. And it is fun to use, but at the same time, nice and easy for lazy people like myself.

I have found, that unlike the coloured and thick masks that you can't rub in before washing off; this one won't leave a mess on whatever you wash it off with. My washers often come away caked in product that no matter how hard I try won't come off OR like my Proactiv products (not sure if was the mask or cleanser) which bleach the washers.

If you are looking for a mask and are willing to give a little bit extra I seriously recommend this product, I love it to pieces and am sad to see the last of the bottle (I don't actually know where my bottle is at the moment :( I've temporarily lost it).

I plan on trying more products from the Evohe collection so stay posted!

I hope you enjoyed the read and the pictures and my huge spiel about how I can't stick to any one product - YOU SHOULD SEE THE COLLECTION.

Until next time
