Every so often, although, there's a product that switches it up and makes the routine just a little extra enjoyable. For me, that's Otzi's Dough Remedy Masks.
The pore-tightening, gently exfoliating masks was a part of the vegan and cruelty-free model's debut assortment at Sephora, and its brilliant packaging and playful consistency instantly caught my consideration. As somebody who spent their childhood constructing human globs out of Play-Doh, I'm a sucker for something that's bouncy and jiggly. Even higher if it's a masks promising to ship outcomes akin to a face-lift in beneath 10 minutes.

For my delicate, dehydrated, mixture pores and skin (proud delicate flower over right here!), I tread flippantly on the subject of making use of any merchandise that establish as a bodily exfoliant as a result of the acids can result in some unpleasant irritation. After a lot trial and error, I discovered that much less is extra on the subject of constant and efficient outcomes, which is why I now exfoliate about as soon as per week, possibly twice if my pores and skin feels actually clogged.
Otzi's Dough Remedy masks was billed to deeply clear and brighten because of a mixture of kaolin clay, rice ceramides, and oat extract in simply 5 minutes, so I used to be very desperate to try it out.
For the previous month, after double-cleansing, I pull out the little inexperienced tub and get to making use of the masks throughout. The doughlike consistency shortly transforms right into a wealthy cream that spreads simply and feels very soothing on the pores and skin. I let it sit for roughly 5 minutes, then take away with a heat fabric. It's no exaggeration to say that my pores and skin not solely feels clear however appears to be like brighter and rejuvenated. And in contrast to different clay masks, I don't really feel any impending pores and skin cracks on the best way if I don't instantly throw a bunch of lotions on prime.
After taking off the masks, I'll apply my essence of the second—Skinfood's Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence—adopted by the Intensive Moisture Facial Cream by Curél. This mix has left my pores and skin feeling sufficiently plump and moisturized whereas nonetheless capable of breathe amid the warmth and humidity.
Whereas the mix of a hydrating essence, moisturizer, and thick sunscreen can rear its ugly head once you're sweating beneath layers of filter and cotton, I've discovered that this masks helps preserve my pores and skin clear and balanced. For $30 and a jar that can simply final a number of months, that's a full win in my guide, so I'll be conserving the Dough Remedy as one among my magnificence mainstays.
