Purifying Mask

Procoal - Activated Charcoal Purifying Detox Mask

At The Amazing Blog we’re fully aware of the current charcoal trend  in many beauty and wellness products, which is where we have covered it here from Restoria’s Charcoal Exfoliating Wash to White Glo’s Charcoal Deep Stain Remover Toothpaste and Just For Tummies Food Supplements. What we like about activated charcoal it removes excess oil, dirt, environmental pollutants, and dead skin cells from pores, leaving us feeling detoxed, helping us to achieve a more radiant complexion. With this in mind, we were keen to try the new Procoal Activated Charcoal Purifying Detox Face Mask.

Procoal is a UK-based company and was started in 2016 after its founders set out to create high-quality products without lower-cost filler ingredients, like a few charcoal brands that can be found in this sector. The company prides itself on ‘prioritising quality over profit’ and uses natural ingredients that are traceable, ethically sourced, free of parabens, and cruelty-free.

The Purifying Detox Mask uses one of its four key ingredients, charcoal, to deep clean pores and remove pollutants. We can see why Egyptians have used activated charcoal for centuries for its many different uses-including drawing poison from wounds-because you can feel clearer pores after just one use of this mask. Natural clays kaolin, montmorillonite, and ghassoul work to absorb and eliminate impurities and sebum as well as even out your complexion. Besides making your skin feel fresh, this product is effective on all skin types (charcoal is very gentle and won’t irritate sensitive skin) and helps fight acne. So, take 5-10 minutes out of your day to relax and treat your skin with this face mask while knowing that what is in it is all-natural. You can buy the mask for yourself here for £8.99 .

Supreme Cell Vitality Rejuvenating Mask by Elizabeth Grant

The Amazing Blog is a huge believer in using masks to try and achieve that all elusive perfect complexion. We keep being told by the media that it is imperative to use an effective face mask at least once a week. So, we have been testing out quite a few to see which ones seem to be the most effective.  We received the Supreme Cell Vitality Rejuvenating Mask from the American skincare range  Elizabeth Grant. This product claims to "Provide protection and revitalise the skin making it appear more radiant" We couldn't wait to try! 

The Supreme Cell Vitality Rejuvenating Mask is formulated to purify the skin and boost its natural luminosity. A plethora of good ingredients: Kaolin, Canadian glacial oceanic clay, blue green algae extract, eryngium maritimum extract, aloe vera juice; as well as  chamomille, tea-oil camellia, sage flower and cucumber extracts are all incorporated in this mask formula. Kaolin clay and Canadian clay not only act as a gentle exfoliator but also remove excess oil and draw out impurities. Eryngium Maritimum extract stimulates skin regeneration by increasing elastin and collagen in the epidermis. Blue Green algae the brand star ingredient works for a suppler and more luminous skin.

This mask is a performer. It is perfect for those looking for an immediate glow and youthful-looking skin. After one application our skin looked clearer, smoother (and firmer for the older members of the team!) We think that this mask makes it both a wonderful anti-ageing and rejuvenating mask. Suitable for almost anyone. Easy to use just smooth it on with your fingertips gently applying to all areas of the face (avoiding the area  the eye), leave it for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it with warm water -  et voilàThe mask is available at IdealWorldtv for £49.99.
