Dangerously amazing!
Late in October last year I've purchased this mask at Jolse. I've been using it very carefully and not as often as Innisfree suggest on the packaging. Therefore the review is someone later. I want to give you a good review on how this products works and what it wonders & dangers are.
Innisfree - Real Grapefruit Mask
100ml / $9.38 at TesterKorea / $12.39 at ibuybeauti / 13,16 at Jolse
This scrub type wash-off mask is infused with refreshing nature-derived ingredients.
Fresh grapefruit formula for moist, transparent skin. It gently exfoliate dead skin cells away with salt for soft and smooth skin. It refreshes skin with delicate natural fragrance while applying mask.
How to use
After a facial wash, gently spread an adequate amount over wet skin, away from the eyes and mouth. After approximately 5 minutes, cleanse using lukewarm water. It can be used partially in the T-zone area where the pores are wide and there are a lot of black heads. (recommended to use 1-2 times per week)
Packaging & Scent review
The packaging looks super cute, like a little glass jar. Luckily it's not. I hate to have glass stuff on shelf above my sink, so risky!
The scent is epic, seriously, Innisfree couldn't have made me happier! This smells like true grapefruit, nothing chemically about it! Personally I like both kind of scents and mostly when you buy skincare, perfume etc with grapefruit in it, is smells always way sweeter than the true thing. This is really a grapefruit where you sink you teeth in. Sweet and sour with a little bitterness! I love it!!
Review
I have been searching so super duper long for a scrub that is packed with sugar/salt to scrub my nose area with. Nowhere there's something like that to be found. Everything is so gentle for the skin which has hardly any sugar or salt in there. If you look at the Skinfood black sugar masks, those are packed with sugar, but still too much jelly around., great for entire face but not for precision scrubbing. Finally I found an epic scrub; This Innisfree mask is a scrub wash off pack and is so super packed with salt and with just a tiny bit of jelly juice around it to help spread it out. It's similar to jelly water that's a bit sticky so it helps to adhere the mask when you let it sit for 5 minutes.
This mask is super heavy harsh on the skin. I recommend to use it on the entire face for only 1-2 times a month if your skin lets it and on your nose area or other problematic area for only 2-4 times a month.
Personally I use this mask only for precision scrubbing, as you can see in the big picture above, my skin turned red already after a few swirls. I have super sensitive skin and it would not survive a full face scrub. For full face scrub I rather use the Skinfood Black Sugar Honey or Strawberry Wash Off Masks because they are much more gentle for the skin.
But I love to use this on my nose to keep the flakes away. My nose gets always flake when the weather dramatically changes or it's dry for a long time. After using this mask I use a calming toner mist and a soft gentle moisturizer or mask, for example the Too Cool For School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack.
I also use this on dry patches which I sometimes get under my eyes, right on my cheeks. I scrub the flakes away. Then it turns into a very red inflamed spot with fresh new skin. I spray a calming toner mist on it and apply a super think moisturizer or eye cream on there to not let it dry out. The redness fades in a day.
Do I recommend?
Yup!
But be careful with it; don't use it as much as Innisfree says when you have sensitive skin.
I hope you've enjoyed and found my review helpful,
see you in my next post ;)
