So, there was no usual mid-week post this past week as I've had a bit of trouble with this blog and have had to re-upload every, single photo on every single post (sob), but I also spent the week in Cornwall, which was absolutely beautiful! Tomorrow is my first day back at work (double sob) and so I'm in need in a bit of a pick-me-up, and what's better for that than a face mask?! These are my Top 3 Face Masks that I use time and time again, and even better, they're all drugstore bargains!
The Botanics 'Shine Away' Ionic Clay Mask is the first kind of tube face mask I had ever purchased and I love using masks in this kind of packaging because it's so easy as there are no messy sachets. This mask includes willowbark which works on clarifying the skin and as it's rich in minerals it helps to absorb any excess oils and leaves my skin matte, but not dry thanks to the deep-cleaning oceanic clay.
My most recent face mask purchase was another clay mask specifically for red/sensitive skin by Quick Fix Facials. This mask includes aloe vera which helps reduce inflammation and also keeps the skin moisturised. Then the chamomile soothes and calms my
skin, which is great for those pesky breakouts. There are various
other Quick Fix Facials avaliable and I'm tempted to try out their Charcoal Mask. I'll tell you why...
This mask, the Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask is my absolute favourite mask ever. The thought of a charcoal mask didn't originally appeal to me but after reading that it's great for purifyng the skin and really deep cleansing I thought I'd give it a go. Once applied the mask warms up slightly, something that I love in a face mask (anyone else the same?!), and after just 5 minutes it's ready to be rinsed off. It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean and super soft and I tend to use this when I have a breakout as by the next day I can already see a clear improvement.
What are your go-to masks?

I love that Sanctuary mask, I think I've gone through three tubes now. I always get it when Boots have the 3 for 2 on "Indulgent bathing" or whatever they call that promotion!
