SKOON.OH SHERBET! EXFOLIATING MASK #TBT REVIEW

This throwback review only goes back to August 2021 and
seeing that my last product review was on the 
SKOON. RUBY MARINE Overnight Hydrating Mask
and I thought it would be an ideal time to re-post my
review on the SKOON. OH SHERBET! Exfoliating Mask,
as the 2 products work really well together.


Exfoliate first with the OH SHERBET! remove and then apply the
RUBY MARINE overnight and Voila! you wake up to super
smooth, hydrated and soothed skin.


~~~~~~


SKOON. is a home grown skincare brand that
with a small, strong, women-led South African team are driving hard to
 offer more conscious choices with beauty secrets that for centuries
 have been handed down through generations of African tradition. 
(SKOON means Clean in Afrikaans)
Formulated to revive and refine, nourish, replenish and bring you the 
cleanest, kindest beauty on Earth. 

Wherever possible, their lab on a farm near Cape Town chooses potent
 natural ingredients harvested sustainably in Africa. 
Non-toxic, effective, clinically proven ingredients that are both ancient 
and incredibly modern - and boosted by science-led thinking in formulating.
SKOON. is both Clean, Kind & Scientific.

I recently received my 1st SKOON product, a full size 
OH SHERBET! Exfoliating Mask and Mask Brush 
in a beauty box and whilst it wouldn't have been a product I would have 
purchased I was glad to receive and put it to the test, as I had heard such
 good things about this mask.



The Azelaic Acid + Probiotic Clay Mask helps clears pores and exfoliate 
dull skin.

OH SHERBET! Azelaic acid 10% exfoliating clay mask can be used 
daily for breakouts. 
Gentle Cape clay is super absorbent and will further help to mop up excess 
oil and dry out bumps and blemishes. 

Other ingredients include:
Kaolin
Azalaic Acid
Glycerine
Lactobacillus
Lemon Peel Oil
Lavender & Geranium Flower Oil


Although OH SHERBET! is a wash-off mask you can also spot treat 
individual breakouts with dabs of clay mask and leave it on overnight.

 ◦ Gentle exfoliation - no harsh abrasions
 ◦ Mops up excess oil
 ◦ Reduces breakouts
 ◦ Anti-redness

Unfortunately I cannot comment on how well it deals with excess oil or 
reducing breakouts, as at my age I don't suffer from these issues, so
I'm really reviewing the exfoliating & brightening aspect of this product.


This mask can be used either AM or PM by adding a small amount of
the blush tinged Sherbet clay powder into a small bowl, add a few drops 
of water in order to create the active paste, which is then painted onto
a clean skin with the mask brush. (avoid the eye area)


The mask will change colour from the blush shade to a solid white
and as expected from a clay mask it will harden on the face. 
It's left on the skin for 5-8 minutes before rinsing off with water.
Do expect some tingling.
I personally use this mask once every couple of weeks.


I thoroughly enjoyed the more traditional process of mixing
the mask and applying with a brush, as this was how masks were
created and applied during my beauty training back in the late 70's.
Not everyone will enjoy that "tight" feel of the mask, as it dries
and hardens, which is typical of a clay mask, but I certainly did.
It was easy to both apply and remove and had a pleasant 
delicate rose fragrance.

I found the mask to be quite stimulating on my non sensitive skin
and it certainly increases the circulation, which wasn't an issue for me,
but maybe it would be for more sensitive skins.
As expected it refined, smoothed and brightened my skin and followed
 with any of my usual post exfoliation face masks, my skin always felt good.
I can only imagine how well this mask would work on an
oily and congested skin and as a specific overnight spot remedy.  

Despite this mask not being 100% for my skin type I've grown
to love a little mask mixing and applying
with a brush, as it seems to add something extra to my 
more leisurely pamper sessions and I highly recommend.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {JUNE 2021}

 As May seemed to go by in a flash
a very quick one at that,
it's now the 1st of June and I continue to bring you monthly
beauty product reviews.

I have coming up for you an eye product from the trusted and reliable
Clarins, a Cuticle Cream from my new found love Burt's Bees 
and two skincare products from brands that I have never tried before
 and that's always exciting for me.
Oh! and I mustn't forget the special face mask brush.


L-R


1.
BURT'S BEES
LEMON BUTTER CUTICLE CREAM

Winter is the time to "turn up" on the moisturising and nourishing
 front especially when it comes to skincare.
However I also find Winter is the only season when I suffer with 
dry cuticles and as our temperatures drop I will be testing out this 
Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream over the coming days.



2.
CLARINS
TOTAL EYE LIFT


It's been a while since I have used a Clarins Eye Cream, so
I'm looking forward to seeing what this Total Eye lift has to offer.
I worked for Clarins for many years and they really do not make any
 bad products, so check back after 3 months to find out if this is an
 eye product I would recommend or not.



3.
INSTITUT
ESTHEDERM
OSMOCLEAN
HYDRO REPLENISHING 
CLEANSING MILK


This is a "new try" for me and despite having heard of this brand
(its been around overseas for more than 40 years)
it appears to be gaining more exposure and popularity here in South Africa.
Launched around 3 years ago I have finally purchased two products,
the other one will be under review in July, as I'm keen to put
their Replenishing Cleansing Milk to work first.

SKOON
OH! SHERBET
EXFOLIATING MASK

This South African skincare brand has been on my radar for some
time and I recently got my hands on their Exfoliating Mask 
OH! SHERBET.
SKOON (which means CLEAN in Afrikaans) is run by a small, strong, 
women-led South African team, 
driving hard to offer more conscious choices to people who want to push 
this world forward.
It's a Kind, Clean, Scientific and Sustainable range and having heard
nothing but great things about this mask I thought it would be the
ideal product to review first.
I also have their branded NO MESS mask brush to review along with
the mask.
