Face Masks? If you would've ask me about face masks last year, I would've said they weren't part of my routine and that I don't use them too often - aka once every month. Crazy, uh? I never saw a difference on my skin whenever I used them and thought they weren't doing anything - except loosing my time as I waited for them to dry. Maybe I wasn't using the right ones because a year has passed and I don't think I could ever go back to skipping on them. Face masks aren't very abondant at the drugstore so I was pretty pleased to see L'Oréal come out with three new face masks made of three pure clay. We've seen these three jars everywhere over the past months! On Instagram, YouTube, blogs...it was a big launch for the brand in 2016 - ironic as I'm reviewing them in 2017. Why am I always late on the boat?
You can use these masks on solo or combine them. There's this new trend in the beauty industry called multi-masking. I first heard model and owner/founder of the brand Kora, Miranda Kerr, talk about this method. Why applying the same mask all over your skin when, most of the time, it doesn't have the same needs on your chin, T-zone or cheeks? It doesn't makes sense. That's where multi-masking comes in! By example, my chin gets really dehydrated at times. My nose and forehead are oily and my pores are also more dilated in that area. Why not mix and match for a better effect? I only got two of the three new masks, not too interested by the light green one - made to purify and mattify.

Dear charcoal masks, when will you make less of a mess? This one is to illuminate your complexion. Although it leaves a mess behind, the charcoal helps detox your skin from the impurities and pollution - perfect if you live in the city! I've had this one for the longest - over a month, I'd say - and I can say that I love it. My skin felt refreshed and well cleansed after every use - detox effect approved! The brightening effect left me surprised as it was able to brighten my already fair complexion. What? I was impressed.

This one should exfoliate and makes your skin feel like velvet (according to what I read online!). The texture is thick and has small grains that feels a lot like sand in it which exfoliate the skin. The scent of this one is very perfumed, floral and citrus-y, although I'm not great at describing smells - thanks for the help, mom! After the first use, I saw result. My pores were definitely smaller and my skin felt really soft. You have to activate the masks by massaging it with water before fully rinsing off to get the full effect.
