Neutrogena NEW Hydrogel Mask Collection


#Sundayfunday means time to relax and enjoy the mindful activity of masking! I’m delighted to have worked with Neutrogena to bring you this post and discover the benefits of their NEW gel mask collection. I was able to use 3 out of the 5 masks in their new collection, so let’s dive in!

Neutrogena Radiance Boost Brightening 100% Hydrogel Mask
Neutrogena Deep Clean Purifying 100% Hydrogel Mask
Neutrogena Deep Clean Purifying Wash-Off Clay Mask



Neutrogena Radiance Boost Brightening 100% Hydrogel Mask

Neutrogena’s Radiance Boost Brightening 100% Hydrogel Mask is made with an exclusive gel-like material that can hold up to 50 percent more substance when compared to paper masks. Combining vitamin B3 with other powerful skin nutrients, this mask is drenched in goodness that will boost skin radiance, brighten skin and smooth skin texture!



The mask comes in two pieces to help fit your unique face so you can position it the best that feels comfortable. For best results, anytime that you are masking be sure to prep your face by cleaning and toning the skin. It creates a good foundation for your skin to absorb all the nutrients of the mask. Out of the packaging it is heavily saturated in serum with a subtle floral scent, and the soft gel mask instantly felt cooling once I applied the two sections. It’s recommend that you give it 15-30 minutes to allow complete absorption of its beneficial properties.



I went for the whole 30 minutes, because I feel my skin could really use it. After time was up, I easily pulled off the mask and applied the remainder of the product from the packet onto my face and neck to soak up the extra bonuses. The only downside with the split mask was having to re-position the bottom half since it kept slipping as I was trying to accomplish tasks while I had it on. I could see not having an issue if I were to lay back and relax while masking, but that wasn’t the case.


As for the results, my skin can often look dull and lackluster, but after trying the Radiance Boost Brightening Hydrogel Mask my skin was feeling supple, soft and soothed. I absolutely loved the outcome and would definitely purchase it again since it’s readily available at my local grocery store.



Neutrogena Deep Clean Purifying 100% Hydrogel Mask

The next mask I was able to indulge my skin with was the Deep Clean Purifying Hydrogel Mask. Just like the other one, it is made with a unique gel material that holds 50% more essence than traditional paper masks. The mask contains an astounding fill weight of 20ml, meaning it’s extremely dense with hydrating serum.



This one, like the last, comes in two separate pieces, one for the top portion of your face and the second for the bottom half. Since I already knew that the bottom portion liked to slip while doing tasks, I made a conscious effort to sit back in bed and allow it to do it’s magic while I relaxed.


That mask had a light, clean scent to it and the overabundance of serum made my skin feel calm and hydrated. It’s infused with seaweed extract to leave your skin purified and luminous. It’s also suggested that you use this with their Deep Clean Purifying Cleanser to revitalize your skin. Just like the name suggests, it provided a deep clean that left my face feeling squeaky clean, refreshed and soothed.



Neutrogena Deep Clean Purifying Wash-Off Clay Mask

Get the same deep clean that you do with Neutrogena’s Hydrogel Mask with Deep Clean Purifying Clay Mask, a different way to get the same purifying action with some added benefits. The twist with this mask is that it’s a thick, nutrient enriched clay, which also contains kaolin and bentonite that keeps your skin soft and healthy without irritation.


To prepare for this mask, I used a cleanser and toner, and made sure my face was completely dry. Then according to the directions, I applied a nice even layer using a brush to my entire face, avoiding the eyes and lips. The 10ml container may seem small, but there was more than enough product to get great coverage. I waited the full recommended 15 minutes and washed away the clay mask.


It left my skin even more flushed of impurities and my reduced the appearance of my problematic, ever-present pores. The mask also did a great job removing dead skin and overall my face felt soothed and refreshed. It was a fun way to get a deep clean, without clogging my pores or drying out my skin, and I’d highly recommend it for those who have oily skin like mine.



What’s great is that right on Neutrogena’s site you can schedule repeat deliveries and save money! Right now, they have an offer to Buy 6, and get 1 free! (offer subject to change)

252 Cosmetic Ultra Bohr Effect C02 Therapy Project Mask




I was excited to try the 252 Cosmetic Ultra Bohr Effect C02 Therapy Project mask simply because the science behind it sounds intriguing. I received a full size I definitely had to do some research regarding this medical mask, and here is what I found: The Bohr Effect introduces CO2 into the skin therefore decreasing oxygen in the hemoglobin and releases it into your skin. Oxygen in the skin is a natural way to boost cellular metabolism and create more youthful skin. As we age, our blood circulation slows down, making it harder for our skin to capture oxygen. The Bohr mask provides more oxygen to your skin which results in faster metabolism, improved cell regeneration, quick wound healing and less skin problems.

Directions were not very clear from the get go, since there were none provided in English, but only a diagram instead. So, I took to the internet for some idea of how to properly apply the mask. After watching several beauty Korean beauty shows, I was able replicate the simple process. Inside the box there are two extra wide strips of masks, and my best guess is that they are for testing purposes.

The first, just like with any mask, is to make sure your face is clean and toned. Secondly, I applied the gel to my face and used a brush to spread it evenly. I noticed that you need to apply a hefty amount making sure its extra thick on your face before applying the mask. Now it’s time to apply the mask! The mask itself is pretty coarse and stiff, so without enough gel, it will not cover (or stick to the face) completely. There is a simple fix though; I just added more gel underneath, and like in the video I added it on top, making sure it was thoroughly coated. Then wait 25-30 minutes as recommend, peel, wash face off with cool water and apply a moisturizer.


I will say it is recommend that you apply gel to your face then mask, because what essentially is happening is a reaction from the ingredients in the gel to the ingredients in the mask. That is where you get the burning sensation, or as others have stated, “tingly” sensation. I was horrified, not having read many reviews or any that stated that this would be the case, and I was worried that this would damage my skin. Yes, it was uncomfortable for about the first 10 seconds, but afterward it felt like wearing a normal mask with my skin feeling slightly warmed.

I don’t find my skin to be that sensitive, but keep in mind that everyone reacts differently. The burning and possible redness may be more severe due to sensitive skin or an allergy to an ingredient, so use with caution. If it’s too much, I would immediately take it off, wash the skin, and apply a moisturizer. For me personally, I checked my skin soon after the burning, but there was no redness nor was there any mid-way through the mask time or after taking it off. Since using the mask, I haven’t noticed anything other than positive effects such as my skin feeling smoother, noticeably tighter and exfoliated. I could see using this again, not every week, but maybe once a month since it is like shock to your skin.

Overall, I was able to overcome the immediate burning sensation and love the payoff of healthy skin afterwards. I would caution anyone to try the testing strips on your hand or wrist before applying directly to the face, in order to see how your skin will react. I noticed this received a lot of negative reactions from the 08 Liter community, but I believe I thoroughly tried and tested the sheet mask to find that behind the science, there actually are noticeable differences and benefits to this.

Feelxo 5-Day “All in One” Skincare Masks


Feelxo 5-Day “All in One” Skincare program face sheets are a great way to combat aging skin, dryness, and enhance the look and appearance of your skin. Feelxo believes in offering natural and safe ingredients in every mask that help nourish and pamper your delicate skin. All of their masks are made from floral extractions and free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol.


I was beyond excited to receive a full box of face masks, plus the Feelxo Charcoal Nose Mask from 0.8Liter. The packaging is lux and beautifully designed. I especially love the holographic trim and white marble flower print. The packaging of the individual masks themselves are also large and have a nice texture. This makes having a spa day for myself feel more like I am treating myself to a truly premium experience.

Inside the 5-Day set are 4 entire face masks, including a Hydra Rose Mask, Firming Camellia Mask, Glowing Marigold Mask, Pore Care Lotus Mask, and lastly a small Charcoal Nose Mask. Every mask has a detailed description of what it is, the ingredients, and how to use it. All masks excluding the nose mask recommend leaving them in the fridge for a cooling sensation. This is something I have never heard before, but absolutely love doing now that I have tried it. Although it says to use these for five consecutive days, I believe you can still use them effectively whenever and however you choose.



The Hydra Rose Mask: Floral skincare recipe includes rose, olive oil, as well as avocado for hydration and soothing. One tip is to always clean and tone your skin before use. This mask has two protective films, remove the first and place the mask on the face carefully. Then, once placed, remove the outer film to begin the process. The Hydra mask stays on the longest compared to the others, with a time span of 25-30 minutes. I used this after a long day at work and took a nap while I laid back and let it do its magic. The cooling sensation was amazing since I had left it in the fridge before use. The smell is captivating and soothing, while not overwhelming for those who are sensitive to scents. As a result, my face felt soft and supple immediately afterwards and for the remainder of the night. I have never been to a spa, but I could imagine this it what it feels like.
Hydra Benefits:
• Coconut gel plus Bio Cellulose: a natural fiber that allows the mask adhere comfortably to face, creating a barrier to boost hydration and block evaporation of essential nutrients in the mask
• Rose: Antioxidant that penetrates deep into skin and locks in moisture
• Olive Oil: Vitamin E and polyphenols for intense hydration
• Avocado: Monounsaturated fatty acid helps to smooth, soften and hydrate skin



Next, the Firming Camellia Mask: Floral skincare recipe includes camellia, yogurt, blackberry for firming and rejuvenating. This is a microfiber sheet with cream that pulls and tightens facial skin for youthful appearance. Again, be sure to always clean and tone your face before use. I kept my mask in the fridge for a cooling sensation and I highly recommend it. I found it easy to apply as it has no films, just unfold and carefully adjust to your face. This mask has a standard 15-20 minute duration to get the full effect. The mask smells delicious and has a creamy dewy texture after removing, and like instructed I massaged the excess into my skin. I don’t think it made a difference that I used this a few days after my last Feelxo mask, since my face felt firm and I loved applying my makeup the following day.
Firming Benefits:
• Microfiber Cream: allows pulling and tightening of the face while nourishing
• Camellia: Feather-light deep moisturizer 
• Yogurt: Vitamins and calcium for firming
• Blackberry: Antioxidant that boosts immune system and nourishes skin



The Glowing Marigold Mask: Floral skincare recipe includes marigold, honey, and celery for glowing and rejuvenating. This mask is made from a microfiber sheet with serum to strongly adhere to skin and provides great absorption. Like all others, first clean and tone face before carefully applying the mask. I carved out time on a weekend to try this mask on a Saturday morning, allowing it to remain for the full 20 minutes while caught up on some reading. I was a bit curious about the results of this mask since I already have oily skin that illuminates when I don’t want it too, however I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshed it made my face feel. This one has the most unique ingredients compared to the others, since I never knew the benefits of celery. Just like the firming mask, this made my face feel slightly tighter.
Glowing Benefits: 
• Microfiber Serum: glowing and revitalizing effect with great absorption ability
• Marigold: Protects skin from free radicals and provides glowing effects
• Honey: Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids 
• Celery: Vitamin A and C to help even skin tone




The Pore Care Lotus Mask: Floral skincare recipe includes lotus, egg white, and lemon for cleansing and pore care. The mask is a Black Charcoal Sheet that helps remove dead skin cells and manage problem pores. I first prep my skin by cleaning and using a toner, then I carefully adjust the mask to my face. The next step is easy, just relax! I spent the full 20 minutes like I do with all masks to really soak up the richness. I’ve always had issues with acne and pores, so this was the mask I was most excited for out of the entire collection. It was definitely a first for me seeing an entire black face mask, but I loved how refreshed my face felt after peeling off. The pores on my face looked less pronounced and my skin felt clean. 
Pore Care Benefits:
• Black Charcoal Sheet: Lined with charcoal fibers that help remove dead skin, dirt and debris that clog pores
• Lotus: therapeutic aromas to help rejuvenate skin and cleansing properties
• Egg White: Lift and tighten skin, astringent properties to tighten pores
• Lemon: Heals damaged skin, boosts immunity with Vitamin C



Finally, the Charcoal Nose Mask: is a small blackhead and whitehead removing mask targeted for your nose area. The ingredients contained in it are charcoal, aloe vera, and witch hazel to help purify pores. Unlike the other masks, there is no recommendation to cool in fridge before use (not that it would be harmful), but I did not cool mine before trying this time. I feel the mask is large enough to cover all sorts of noses and worked great for mine. Directions are simple enough. Be sure to clean the face like usual and keep your nose wetted before applying the mask. Then, remove the film with dry hands and place over now-wetted nose to help activate mask. After 15 minutes (maximum time), I peeled slowly from the edge of my nostril and was able to see the impurities get pulled from the skin in real-time.
Charcoal Benefits:
• Charcoal: Helps pull dirt, debris and impurities out of pores
• Aloe Vera: Calms skin and replenishes skin with hydration
• Witch Hazel: helps fight acne by decreasing oils and redness



Overall, I absolutely loved trying the entire collection of Feelxo 5-Day masks. All of the masks include unique ingredients that help target problem areas of the skin. I may have not used them on consecutive days, but I feel they were still very successful at calming, soothing, minimizing pores, and cleaning my skin. What’s also great is that you have the choice to purchase them all as a set at a discount, or purchase them separately if you like.
