Alpha-H Clear Skin Blemish Control Mask

It is no secret that I absolutely adore Alpha-H Skincare and one of my favourite products right now is the Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser which I wear every single day! I also, naturally adore Liquid Gold and if my skin is incredibly dry to the touch, I use a thick layer of the Essential Hydration Cream and it solves the problem! The latest launch to the Alpha-H family is the Clear Skin Blemish Control Mask and I couldn't wait to give it a try.

We all know that daily stresses, hormonal imbalance and toxins in our environment can play havoc with our skin when our body is under attack from stress, hormone cortisol rises, activating the skin to produced thickened sebum, which can lead to oily complexions and clogged pores. Modern-day environmental aggressors such as pollution can also damage the skin's natural barrier function, creating holes in its protective layer and leaving the skin vulnerable.  These are just some of the reasons Alpha-H have created the Clear Blemish Control Mask.

Alpha-H Clear Skin Blemish Control Mask is a deep cleansing mask with white Clay to gently draw out toxins and impurities while rebalancing the skin.  The Natural Antiseptic properties of tea tree, eucalyptus and aloe vera help to calm the skin and reduce inflammation.

This mask is perfect for applying after thoroughly cleansing the skin. You only need to apply a thin layer to the skin and leave it on for a maximum of 10 minutes before removing using a warm cloth. You can also apply it at night as an emergency 'spot' treatment to target individual blemishes.  

Key benefits:

• Cooling, detoxifying and purifying mask
• Absorbs excess sebum to inhibit the formation of blemishes
• Works to clear pores of debris which may cause acne
• Smooths, softens and revitalises skin
• Perfect for calming hormonal outbreaks during pregnancy

The Alpha-H Clear Skin Blemish Control Mask is not the white colour I was expecting it to be, instead, it is a pale grey coloured cream which has a fairly thick texture, but it is easy to spread over the skin, but I do use a brush and not my fingers. I unexpectedly really like the strong tea tree scent of this mask, usually, it would put me off, but here is another ingredient which masks the total potency.  Also, if you have a cold, as I did, then my gosh this is an absolute dream to apply because it does a great job at helping you to be able to breathe.

On the skin, this mask does go hard owing to the inclusion of White Clay but is easy to remove with a cloth and warm water. As this is a Blemish Control Mask, then you don't need to apply it to your entire face, but instead just to the areas where you are prone to breakouts. For me, this would be my jawline and because I suffer from redness on my cheeks, then I have used it there and across my nose. This mask is also Ideal for oily skins which require frequent mattifying treatments and because there is the inclusion of Macadamia Seed and Jojoba Oils which nourish the skin, after using, instead of feeling stripped and in need of moisture, my skin is left feeling hydrated and smooth to the touch.

I do have combination/oily skin, so I like to use products which will draw out impurities and unclog my pores without irritating my skin more than is needed and often with clay in masks, I find my skin does flare up and become irritated, so I will always do a patch test before using.   This is not one of those masks to irritate my skin and I love that it is something you only need to apply for 10minutes at a time, meaning it is quick to use and because I am only using so little, it is going to last a very long time.  I am especially looking forward to using it during the hotter months owing to how cooling it feels on my skin.

Priced a £22.95 it is available from Cult Beauty* and is an absolute bargain!

Omorovicza Peachy Miceller Cleansers

If ever there was a brand which is just beautiful, it is Omorovicza and it is a brand I have featured a few times now on my blog, most recently with the Scalp Mask which saw the brand reach out into a new category. Back to skincare and I have been using the newly launched Peachy Micellar Cleansers which are described as being the no-fuss, quick and easy solution to cleansing.

I am all for lazy skincare, but in doing so, I want something that is effective and lives up to its claims. From Omorovicza we have a product that I wasn't sure what to expect from and yet it has turned out to be one of the best Micellar products I have ever used and admittedly I have never found a product that has won me over.

With 60 discs inside the pot soaked in a super gentle and natural micellar solution, they are just so good at removing absolutely everything in their path including those pesky waterproof mascaras that are often a nightmare to remove. Along with makeup, dirt, grime, pollution and even excess oils are not a match for these discs. Unlike other brands which do these type of products, my skin after using feels clean and hydrated and there is no oily film coating left behind.

They feature a delicate peachy scent which I really like, it is quite a fresh and comforting scent. They also feature natural olive oil ester which delivers a micellar technology, creating micelles whose job is to act as a magnet, drawing out dirt and oil from pores. Damask Rose flower water, which is known for its soothing, softening and skin regenerating properties. Finally, we have Omorovicza’s patented Healing Concentrate™ which leaves skin firmer, more supple and younger-looking.

To use, you simply take one of the discs and wipe it across the skin, much the same as any cotton wool pad and what you will see is just how quickly the whiteness of that disc turns a rather grim brown colour as it removes everything in its path. I absolutely love how my skin feels after using these discs, they are great for that first cleanse, great for when you have little time or are just too tired after a very long day to go through the motions of a double cleanse, they really do such a good job at cleansing the skin, that I am more than happy to just use them when I am tired or in a hurry.

These Peachy Micellar Cleanser Discs can be used both morning and evening, though I prefer to use them in the evening as part of my double cleanse routine. The Omorovicza Peachy Micellar Cleansers are priced at £35 for 60 discs (here*), but if you do have sensitive skin and struggle to find a makeup remover that doesn't sting or dry out your skin, then these might just be the product you need in your life, because they are neither drying or harsh on the skin.
