As someone with very stable, non-problematic skin I don't find myself ever wanting to splurge on skincare products. That being said, I had never really found an affordable mask that blew me away or even warranted a repurchase - until this. The Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask was something I didn't think I'd be able to get my hands on here in Australia due to it being from a spa in the UK, so when I saw it on the shelves in my local pharmacy I was over the moon.
This mask is a really great allrounder and works in a multitude of ways. The results I see from application are plump, hydrated and soft feeling skin with a reduction in anything acne related, be it spots or blackheads. It isn't a miracle worker in terms of it reducing spots to nothingness in a night, but it definitely does aid the process and they feel less raised afterwards. There is also something to be said for how lovely makeup goes on afterwards, so while this is a nice one for night, it is also great as a pre-party pamper mask as well!
As for the thermal part of this mask, I wouldn't be too concerned. It is quite a warm sensation, but definitely not a burn and it actually subsides more quickly than I would have thought. It is really fun to apply because of the thermal element and my boyfriend even wanted to give it a go after hearing that it warms up on your face!
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good, affordable face mask and would love to know your favourites.
