Review: Soap & Glory - The Fab Pore Facial Peel

This is a scheduled post whilst I'm on holiday, so comments will be replied to when I get home (7th July!) Hope you like it!

 

Facial Peel sounds a bit scary and dramatic doesn't it! But rest assured this is a lot less extreme than it sounds. It's just a face mask! But a pretty good one at that - it's Soap & Glory so it can't be that bad can it! I was a bit late to the Soap & Glory party, only buying my first product a few months ago. But I'm glad I'm on it now as I'm really enjoy the products! This is available from Boots for £8.00.

The Basics 

As the name suggests this is a mask aimed at minimizing pores - I could definitely do with that kind of magic! It comes in a white tub, with a really cute retro style cardboard box. Inside you get a really reasonable 50g of product. I don't find that it's a particulary exfoliating mask, it has a very smooth texture to it, but it does have some little magic green beads in it that burst when you're applying it. Although I can't actually see anywhere what these are supposed to be. 

What did I think?

Lets start with the application. That was pretty standard, but feels really smooth and nice to apply. There are some small beads in them which means you need to blend it quite well to burst these and let the goodness out. I do find that it can be quite stingy on the face, I'm not sure if this is down to my skin being sensitive or if it's the nature of the mask. But I do find that my pores appear minimised for a good 12 hours after use - not disappeared, but I would never expect a mask to be able to do that alone! So overall I like it, except the feel on my face whilst it's on - but great for a special occasion where I want you skin to look special.   

This is the first product I have ever bought specifically aimed at reducing pore size. Unless we count face primers, I have some of them! I do actually have larger pores on parts of my face, I just don't really have faith in these type of products! Call me a pessimist! But anyway thanks for stopping by, I'll speak to you again soon, H :)
