Hi loves! Its the 6th day of skincare week and today's post is on Ole Henriksen Firm Action Mask (50 g, 1.7 oz.).
It comes in a jar, which I'm not a fan. I feel its so much more messier to use then if it would be in a tube. That's just my personal preference.
On the package it says its suitable for all skin types, but I personally find it to be bit drying and I have oily skin. I use it once a week and keep it on 15 minutes (on the label it says 20-30 minutes) and I apply a thick layer of it. I feel if I would keep it longer it would irritate my skin :/
I have found the way to make it work for me without drying out my skin. After washing my face I find it leaves it smoother and softer. I also feel it makes my pores seem smaller and after using this mask my makeup applies much better.
The mask itself has a scent, which is fresh scent and reminds me of spa.

Overall I think its a great mask. I don't think it would work for all skin types though. If you have a dry skin I would stay away from it, but if you have oily skin like me you might like it.
Have you tried any of Ole Henriksen skincare products?
Thanks for reading! :)
Ole Henriksen is a new brand for me but I really like the sound of this thick face mask - I always like to see something on my skin when using a mask. Not sure how I feel about the drying elements though.

Too bad I have dry skin! :( It sounds nice otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great, anything that helps to reduce pore size is a plus for me!!

Not sure how you apply... but here is a suggestion to make it less messy out of a tub/jar. I like to use a flat foundation brush (the ones that look like a pair t brush) and dip that into the jar and then "paint" the mask onto my face! Not only is it less messy for you you and don't have to use your hands/get it under your nails, but it also feels very nice too. Almost spa like! 😄
ReplyDeleteSounds great but I have dry skin so probably won't be trying it xx
