Hello everyone~!!
Welcome back to my channel and I’m EUGENE!!!
Today, I actually didn’t plan on recording any videos but since I was about to apply facial mask
Then I remembered, ah! OK…
Should I make a short review about all of the clay masks
which can help minimize the pores as well as suck up all of the oil and sebum in our pores
And I have… chosen three clay masks that I’ve used the most so far
and that I really like in order to recommend to you guys
And on my face, I’m gonna reveal to you guys
this is one type x3
Those are the 3 types that I’m gonna share with you guys today
As always, please noted that these products may be effective and perform well on my face
but… those can probably not be too effective or even causing irritation on your skin
because of that, just consider this review as a reference!!
And I’m not gonna make you guys wait any longer…
Let’s dive into the first clay mask!!
The first clay mask that I’m gonna share with you guys is a famous one from Innisfree
It is the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
Here… this little brown container!
This mask is extracted from volcanic ash
and to be honest, the first time I’ve heard about volcanic ash, I felt very curious
I felt that there was something precious about it… sort of rare and precious since Vietnam doesn’t have volcano…
Yeah… maybe so!
Because of that, I though it was odd
Jeju volcanic ash is a clean and rare ingredient, made from minerals released by volcanic explosions
and it has an effect of absorbing sebum as well as reducing impurities deep down under our pores
Certified to be free of mineral oil, animal-originated ingredients as well as artificial fragrances
Jeju volcanic ash is able to help absorb sebum as well as exfoliate dead skin cells, bringing a clean and fresh skin
This product is extracted from volcanic ash and as you guys may know
volcanic ash is the thing that when the volcanoes explode, releasing the lava which then freezes and becomes ash
the ash is then used to make this product
and as guaranteed by the brand
this product will go deep into our pores, absorbing sebum and other impurities then kicking them out
at the same time, it also helps tighten our pores
But to me personally, I think this product is only good at... removing oil and sebum
in regards of the pores, I don’t see much of an effect
and its color is over here… this area is the color of this product
And I bought this product from the Innisfree store with a price of approximately 350,000 VNĐ
and I think… with such price and the ability to cleanse the pores as well as remove sebum and oil
then this product works very well
And… generally speaking, there’s no negative thing about this, but it’s just not that effective… like entirely
But with the price and demand from those who wanna cleanse the skin and pores, this product works really well
And… I recommend this to those… who are still students currently
This container is only 100mL but you guys can use it for a very long time
It seems small but it can last for a long time!
The packaging is very adorable, cute like this~
And the following product is the one which I’ve talked in my Night Skincare Routine video
It is the Green Clay Mask from Cattier Paris
And… this is a type… the green version I’m holding for oily skin, meaning oily skin (he just translated it into Vietnamese)
There are other versions such as pink and orange for dry, normal and sensitive skins
I’m using the one for oily skin and I feel it is very… good as compared to the price of about 200,000 VNĐ
And actually at first, I had finished one tube and then I decided to get another one
This is a natural clay mask for oily and combination skins
It contains natural ingredients to give our skin a fresh and bright look after using it
With the formula consisted of Jojoba Oil, Peppermint and Rosemary Oil
the product is able to absorb all of the excess oil and make our skin brighter and cleaner
After using it, we can still maintain the moisture of the skin and our skin won’t be stretched out, dry or flaky
And this is the mask a mid-priced product, meaning it’s affordable…
If that Innisfree’s one is able to… absorb sebum well but can’t minimize the pores
then this one, I think that it doesn’t absorb sebum too well but it can minimize our pores in an obvious way after using it
Speaking of the smell, this one is just the same as the others…
It has a light smell of the clay, nothing else
and its color is green like this over here…
One special thing is that this product is extracted from Kaolin, a very precious substance which is…
sort of not only able to absorb the sebum and cleanse the pores but also to cool off and soften the skin
So honestly, this one is very suitable for those who are having acne and open wounds
I think you can feel secure when using this product
And when applying it on, it has a… sort of thin and cream-like composition, it’s very easy to blend
But there’s a minus that I don’t like about this product, that is…
well, we often use clay masks for 10 to 15 minutes and then we’ll have to mash them off with water
for this product, if it has already been after 10 minutes when it has dried out but you guys still haven’t washed it off
it will turn into powder on our face and the powder will fall off
The first time I used it, I didn’t know, so when I saw that there was a lot of powder on my bed
Much later that I realized that the mask has dried out but since I didn’t wash it off, the powder moved through the air and fell onto my bed
because of that, if you guys use this product, you need to be mindful about the using time
And… I also recommend this product for those who… don’t have too much oil and sebum on your skin but your pores are big
you’ll feel fresh and like this product if you decide to use it
The last mask is the one on this cheek…
And… um… this is probably so far the one that can entirely minimize the pores as well as absorb sebum
But… because it has a comprehensive function like that, its price is kinda… all out (it’s somewhat a punchline but I’m unable to make it better… sr)
It’s none other than the clay mask from Kiehl’s!
This clay mask is extracted from Amazonian white clay
this is the clay that can cleanse deeply as well as draw out impurities for our skin
This clay can also remove bacteria, toxins, excess oil and other dead skin cells that can clog and make the pores bigger
Another ingredient which is also a kind of clay is Bentonite
this is an aluminium phyllosilicate clay which is used to be the condenser in many skincare formulas
including moisturizers and makeup products
This one is probably too popular in the beauty community
and I was very hesitant because when I’ve used the Calendula facial cleanser and toner from Kiehl’s, I decided to give this one a try as well
since this product is one of the brand’s best-sellers
And… after using it, the first time I used it, I felt that it was stinging…
sort of a little bit itchy and stinging on my skin when I just put it on
But I’ve read some reviews of other people, they said
that is probably just a first reaction when it’s just reacting to the skin… it’s adapting so it’s alright~
So I still continued to apply it on and about 2 to 3 minutes after that, that feeling disappeared
and it made my cheek... my skin felt really fresh!
This one is known for a function which is to flush out toxins for our skin
as well as minimize the pores and cool off any wounds, acne, pustules and pimples
The thing that I’m most impressed about this product is that not only that it can cleanse the pores as well as minimize them
but it can also cool off acne spots, making them dry and to emerge faster
So… some of you guys who have used this before, you said that it can push the acne way up
but I think this product doesn’t push the acne up at all, it will act upon the pulps of the acne, pustules and pimples
making them dry faster and… kinda dry and able to break through the surface faster so we can take them out more easily
And I also noticed this thing when I saw a vlog of a foreign beauty vlogger
He/she instructed that when we have pustules or pimples
we just need to take a small amount of this and apply it onto those spots as if this is an acne treatment product
The morning right after that, we can see them shrink
and I actually have tried that out but…
I think it won’t be immediate as said the morning right after that… it will take maybe 2 to 3 days for them to dry
and they were dry to the point when I raised my hand, touched and scratched them gently like this… they just flew away
and I really like it~!
And among the three, those that I just talked about, this product is the one that has a thin and light composition
When applying it on, we won’t feel the heaviness or any irritation on the skin but it is so light
and when I rub my face while it has dried out, it doesn’t move around or create white powder
But for this one, when it dries, it becomes white powder on our skin and if we move or there’s the wind or… some kind of influence
the powder will fall down a lot
and the one on this side is quite dry and it fits onto the skin but our skin will feel a little bit stretched out
because of that, to rate these three…
the third place is this Innisfree
the second place is the Cattier’s one
and... the first place is definitely this Kiehl’s
and I think for those whose economic conditions don’t allow you to invest into
the Kiehl’s one which has a comprehensive function like this
you guys can use the Cattier’s one
because I think this Cattier is the exact replica of this one… a copy~
but… the price is so much cheaper
Because of that, I think you guys can test this one out first
and afterwards, when your economic conditions have improved, you guys can give this one a try
For those whose pores are not large but you guys just wanna remove the oil… reduce the oil on your skin
you guys can use the Innisfree’s one
and for all of these three products, please note that you guys only leave it on your face from 10 to 15 minutes
and put on the mask only if you have used facial cleanser
and wash it off and keep your face a little bit moist, let the skin absorb a little bit of water
meaning tapping your face so the water will be cut down a little bit and then apply this onto the skin
and after 10 to 15 minutes, just continue massaging your face with the use of water
When you guys massage, there’s one special thing to remember, this is one thing in common of all kinds of clay mask
that is they will become soft as if they are some kinds of facial cleanser
and we will move our hands around in circular in-and-out motions, twirling them just like this
it helps the mask pick up all sebum, minimize the pores and drag up any impurities in the pores
And please also note that after using it, there are two ways to kinda… block all the... make your pores smaller
The first way is to use ice
You guys will use ice to roll over your face from 3 to 5 minutes
and keep in mind that this ice should be made from filtered water, just to make sure it will be safe for the skin
The second way is to use toner that can help minimize the pores
so just moisten a cotton ball with toner and apply it evenly onto our skin
And since this video is a very random one
there’s no script and no preparation whatsoever
because of that, I can only say in brief about… my own personal experience
but I haven’t had the chance to dive deep into how… certain seminal ingredients which will have some certain impacts on our skin
But I think… I have used these products well and there was an obvious improvement
so I might as well just share with you guys
And now, I think the time in which I need to wash them off is on
so I’m gonna go wash them off now~
Goodbye and see you guys in my next videos!
