Skyn Iceland Masque review

Skyn Iceland has come out with a two-step masque, that prides itself on hydrating, and replenishing dull, stressed out, dehydrated skin. I received a sample of this masque in my Ipsy glam bag this month, and decided to review it. 

First off, the packaging was very modern and cool, featuring a long presentation imprinted on it about how this product will surely rescue your dehydrated skin. Had too much coffee, and not enough water? No fear, because this product is pretty much a miracle! I was more than interested, seeing how drinking water is so much of a challenge for me. 


I opened up the first step of this two-step masque, which was the clay part. I applied it all over my face, and while doing so, noticed a very enticing aroma of cool mint. It was invigorating, yet not overpowering. I also felt a slight tingling sensation, which told me the product was doing it's job. I moved on to step two, which is the " activating gel", which is to be applied on top of the clay, and blended, to create a "warm foam". This is where it got tricky. The gel did not blend very well into the clay at all, and kept sliding off my fingers. Also, the " warm foam" was actually more like a " hot mess", which truly burned, and irritated. This was not pleasurable at all, nor did it seem productive. Nevertheless, I attempted to last ten minutes, with this mixture on my face. I lasted seven...before the butn was too intense. Rinsing this stuff off was an even bigger challenge. It took forever. 

Finally, I dried my face, and examined the results in the mirror. There was red irritation, due to the heat. But, there was also a visible improvement. My skin no longer looked or felt dehydrated and dull. It felt smooth and moisturized. I was actually very happy with the results, though I'm not sure it was worth the process.  

I will give this product a 3 out of 5 shoe rating.  It produces results, but with a price, and I'm just not willing to pay that price.  So my search continues for another " rescue" from dehydrated skin.
