Review: Skinsational Tea Gel Mask
What They Say: "A must-have for those with sensitive, sunburned, blotchy or uneven skin! The oil-free cooling blue gel mask is packed with ingredients to calm skin and reduce redness and inflammation. Green tea extract provides an antioxidant boost while chamomile, calendula and azulene help skin recover and rebalance. Recommended for sensitive or irritated skin."
Jen's Experience: Sometimes it's hard to tell with peels whether they're really helping or not. This peel made my skin, suddenly irritated -- possibly due to my current cold and resultant whittling down of my skin care routine -- feel soothed as I applied the cool gel to my face. I left it on for about 15 minutes, and after I washed it away, I did notice that my face was noticably less red and felt quite soft. Upon waking, though, same irritated skin, but a little on the dry side. I've used it since then and have continued to notice a temporary improvement in my skin tone immediately after I use it, but my skin is also a little drier as a result. I really like how it feels going on, but I don't think this is the product for those of us who have both sensitive and dry skin.
Retail Price: $36.00 (SensationalSpa.com)
