Beauty Formulas Deep Cleansing Gold Gel Cleanser & Peel Off Mask

Hi there! Not too long ago I picked up this Beauty Formulas Deep Cleansing Gold Gel Cleanser & Peel-Off Mask (£1, B&M Bargains). This is a 2-step “treatment” that promises to cleanse skin deeply.

The gel cleanser works like any other normal face wash. Splash a bit of water in your face, massage the cleanser into your skin so that it lathers up, then rinse with water.

The mask is easy to use too. Apply it your cleansed face, leave it on for 15 minutes, then simply peel it off. Now read on if you’d like to know if this cleanser and mask duo is any good. 😎

The gel cleanser is really nice. It smells fresh (citrus + something I can’t put my finger on), it lathers up well, and it cleanses my skin gently and effectively. If I find this cleanser in a bottle, I’ll buy it!

The peel off mask is one of the best peel off masks I’ve ever tried. It pulls the gunk right out of your pores. If you want to try this mask, please make sure you don’t get it in your eyebrows and / or hair to avoid unwanted hair removal. This is powerful stuff!

I’d recommend this Beauty Formulas Deep Cleansing Gold Gel Cleanser & Peel-Off Mask to anyone who wants an effective peel off mask. Priced at £1, this mask is a total steal!

Maxbrands Luxurious Gold Mask / Peel-Off Face Mask

Hi there! I hope everyone had a good weekend! This week I’m going to post about face masks only, so this week is going to be FACE MASK WEEK. ☺️ And today’s post is about Maxbrands’ Luxurious Gold Mask / Peel-Off Face Mask for normal skin.

Maxbrands is a brand from the Netherlands. I’ve never seen their products anywhere in the UK – until I found their face masks (gold masks and charcoal masks) at my local Home Bargains store. Since a pack of 5 masks was 99p only, I picked up 2 packs right away.

This gold mask promises to give skin a deep cleanse and to remove blackheads. I’ve now used 2 of these masks, and I think they’re the most powerful peel-off masks ever. But let’s start from the beginning…

First of all, if you use peel-off masks a lot, you’re probably used to them being runny. However, these gold masks are much thicker, almost paste-like. These masks don’t take long to dry. I think that leaving them on for 15 minutes is more than enough. Now, when you remove the mask, you have to be extra careful – because it removes blackheads AND facial hair.

If I had known how powerful this mask is before I’d used it, I would have shaved my face. I’m serious! Trust me, you have no idea how much peach fuzz you have until those teeny tiny strands of baby hair are pulled out. My face was bright red for about an hour after I removed the mask, but that was from the unexpected and unwanted peach fuzz removal; this was not an allergic reaction.

Having mentioned this, this mask is actually one of my new favourite products. It made my pores squeaky clean, and it completely transformed my husband’s nose after a single use. My husband enjoys an occasional face mask, but his nose has always been a problem (nose strips didn’t help – we tried). Now I don’t want to spoil your dinner, so all I’m going to say is that once my husband peeled the mask off of his nose, he was actually ashamed of how much gunk it caught. It wasn’t pretty, but again, a single use of this mask completely transformed his nose.

Based on my experience, I would recommend this face mask to anyone who’s fighting a losing battle against their blackheads. Just be aware that you might want to consider shaving your face before you use this mask. I will continue to use this mask on a regular basis, and I have already stocked up on this amazing little product!

Maxbrands’ Luxurious Gold Mask / Peel-Off Face Mask is available as a pack of 5 masks I paid 99p (Home Bargains).
