Purederm Hydro Soothing Aloe Pack

purederm hydro soothing aloe pack, by bitsandtreats

I was finally able to try this out last Saturday night. It was good timing as I was feeling hot and sticky and my face badly needed something to cool it off. As my toiletry basket is high, I just reached up and took the first mask that I got my hands on and I was fortunate enough to get this.

It goes on clear:

purederm soothing aloe face mask, bitsandtreats

One pack is enough to cover your whole face and neck. I didn’t put any on my  neck, just until my jaws.

I was surprised that it had a cooling fun. I enjoyed that very much. I was doing my sister’s nails while waiting for the 10 minutes to elapse. It was a very soothing 10 minutes indeed.

Now comes the hard part. I already fell in love with this mask the moment I slathered it on but when I rinsed it off, my face suddenly started to itch! First it was just on the side of my nose then my cheek then the other cheek. I thought that my face was just dry because it was cold so I put some moisturizer. I always apply moisturizer at night to lessen the dryness on my face because of the cold. I wasn’t planning on applying moisturizer after the mask because I wanted to observe its full effect.

After application, the itchiness subsided but there were still some occasional itchy spots. When I woke up the next morning, my jaw was itchy. So I guess I’m allergic to this product. Sayang, it was very promising pa naman!

Ignoring the itch, my face was very smooth and bright. It wasn’t oily (well, probably because it was cold). But my face felt well rested. It was a nice feeling, like I was able to relax in spite of the allergic reaction. I wasn’t red or blotchy nor did I have rashes. My face was just itchy.

I’d recommend this product if you have normal skin. Oily skinned ladies, please take caution as this is supposed to be a moisturizing face mask.

I think this retails for Php29.75 and is available at Watsons.

    The first part of the post, I was all for this product, now it seems sketchy to me. :-/ But if I do try, I'll try it on my hand first just in case I'm allergic also. :)

    Thanks for the heads up on this product! :D

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
