If you read my blog regularly, then you will know that I absolutely love Tropic Skin Care. Their mission has always been to create natural, cruelty-free products that will genuinely benefit the skin. With no toxic chemicals and instead just using nutritious ingredients, you are treated to luxurious, pampering products that always stay true to their ethos. The latest product that I have just absolutely loved using is the Clear Skin Blemish-Fighting Mask.
I love a good face mask, I love one that comes with a mission to do something other than sitting on your skin and make it just feel soft to the touch.
This spot-busting mask helps to control sebum levels, reduce redness and manage breakouts quickly and effectively by tightening pores. Created especially for acne and blemish-prone skin, this is a hero product for those who suffer from excessive oil production and a shiny T-zone.
Whilst I am lucky enough not to suffer from many spots, just the random ones which arrive around the time of my period along the jawline for a few days before retreating. But what I do have is combination oily skin and reduce on both cheeks, so there is always a need to try new things to bring issues under control.
This mask is everything you expect it to be and more, being bold green in colour and fairly thick texture, there is a spatula that you can purchase (£6) to help apply the mask and honestly, it does make the whole task a lot easier to do.
The advice from Tropic Skincare HQ is to apply an even layer of the mask twice a week, avoiding the delicate eye area and then leave it on for around 10-20 minutes or until dry, and rinse using warm water. Using ingredients which draw out all the build-up of grease, bacteria and pollution from the surface of your skin and from your pores whilst working to reduce oil and balance out your skin and they include:
- Bamboo Charcoal - Alongside goji berry extract, it reduces redness and calms skin while refining pores.
- Spirulina - Blended with green clay to draw out toxins and impurities, and tighten pores for a healthier-looking complexion.
- Ginger - Works in harmony with cinnamon and salicylic acids to kill blemish-causing bacteria at the source.
My skin often reacts badly to the use of clay in a mask and it intensifies the redness and makes my skin flare up and it becomes hot to the touch, so I always do a patch test before using anything with clay in it before covering my face with it.
This mask is so incredibly gentle on the skin that it didn't exacerbate any existing problems, but what I do love is just how gentle this mask is on my skin, not only do you get that feeling of your skin being able to breathe (and yes it is just a feeling) but there is no uncomfortable dried-out skin, it isn't taut and feeling the need of moisture either, but it does look and feel clean. I live in London and have days when I just want to scratch my skin clean because I have been out and about all day in among the pollution and the dirt and the grime and know that it is just sitting on my skin, which is why I am such a big fan of double cleansing every evening.
If you have blemishes, prone to breakouts and want something to help control that excess oil, then his mask ticks all of those boxes and many more and all for just £20 here.
