Beauty Tips For Body Care
TLDR: it does an amazing job at soothing, decently hydrating. I would recommend keeping it around if you test out lots of actives/products. A little goes a long way and you can potentially use it just to spot treat irritated areas.Texture and packaging: It comes in a jar, and has a jelly-like consistency with what seems to be bits of calendula in it? I recommend putting it in the fridge for optimum soothing, but it works very well without being kept in the fridge and has amazing cooling properties on its own.Im not sure about my skin type: Im quite oily because I live in a really hot and humid country (I'm talking like 80% humidity constantly) and I wouldn't call my skin sensitive per say, but reactive when it comes to actives like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide etc. I'm also currently battling clogged pores/white heads/closed comedones (not sure which) and sorta have some regular acne.My mother's experience with a minor burn on her hand: My mother and I purchased it in Valencia, Spain after she had burnt her hand on a paella dish at lunch and while adventuring around the khiel's store, she found that it really soothed her burn (it was a minor burn that healed with no scar so I'm not sure whether this is medically safe, but it worked fine on her).Situations it has helped me in: 1) Once I stupidly applied 2.5% benzoyl peroxide all over my face that I later found to be expired. My skin was red, and as an Indian it's really hard for my skin to turn red so that's how you really know I messed up. I washed my face and applied this mask 2-3 times (I kept layering it on after it "dried", and all the redness was gone.2) I've also been testing out a 2% salicylic acid face wash and found my skin sensitive after using it twice daily for a few days (again, stupid) and I applied the mask and again, all the redness gone.About its hydration properties: Since its a rinse off mask, I wouldn't say it's super hydrating but my skin feels really thick and full after using it, likes it's filled with water. It's like it hydrates the inner layers of the skin but not the outer layer if that makes sense.Cons: it's not that hydrating since you rinse it off, resulting in the top layer of your skin being dry. It also may sting a little on broken skin but it will soon quickly stop and soothe the area (in my experience).Thank you for reading my review! It's my first time doing something like this, but I really love this subreddit and it has really helped my skin. Let me know how I can improve my rating/descriptions (apologies about the formatting, Im on the mobile app and also just simply do not know how to bold words etc.)
