Hello! Happy Sunday!
For today's Skin Care Sunday Post I'm going to be reviewing the Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient Rich Facial Mask. I've been meaning to do this review for a while, but I thought Fall was a good time since this mask is a pumpkin one!
So a while ago I bought a skin care set from Michael Todd for combo oily skin and this mask was included in it. This set was pretty disappointed and nowhere near as good as the set I bought for acne prone skin before this one. Spoiler alert- this mask was a no go.
About this mask from Michael Todd's website
'Formulated with vitamin rich pumpkin and a blend of gentle exfoliants, PUMPKIN MASK dissolves dead dulling skin cells as it infuses fresh new skin with protective antioxidants and strengthening vitamins. PUMPKIN MASK is a weekly facial rejuvenating treatment that will leave skin glowing.
Who Should Use it?
All skin types except sensitive. Not to be used in combination with retinol based products on compromised or on sunburned skin'
*Now let's first talk about that little tidbit at the end that it shouldn't be used with sensitive skin that I some how looked over when I bought this. My skin is indeed very sensitive.* I would list all the ingredients for this (all organic!) and what their benefits are but meh- I'm not recommending this mask to anyone so if you are curious then you can find them on their website.
My Thoughts-
-I don't exactly know what I was expecting this mask to be like, but you can see from the picture that it looks sort of like pumpkin purée. I guess I thought this was going to be more like a clay mask that was pumpkin scented? I don't know. I can see my friend Pilar cringing at the thought of this mask since she's not a fan of pumpkin LOL!
-This felt super goopy and just plain gross when I applied it to my skin. It doesn't smell pleasant- nothing at all like a yummy pumpkin spice.
-And this mask BURNED this heck out of my face. Which I'm guessing is why they say not to use it on sensitive skin.
-Once it's applied to sets for a minute, the burning is not quite so bad, and it doesn't feel as gross. So I guess if you can stick it out for a minute or so then it's not so bad. But still, I don't like it.
-Other than the two bad things I mentioned, I don't have any other complaints. It didn't make my skin break out, but I did only use it a few times so I can't be too sure that it wouldn't in the future.
Over all this is definitely not one that I will be finishing up or repurchasing.
I was kind of disappointed because I love the Michael Todd Kaolin Clay mask, but o guess you can't love everything from a skin care line!
