Old school looking washable face mask!
Not your grandma's face mask?
SILK Bath & Shower
PURIFYING MINT MASQUE
6 oz/ 17g
Price: less than P150
From: The Dollar Store (Alabang Town Center)
Supposed to be a dupe for popular US green face masks
This is a decent sized bottle for its price.
I've had it for a year and it's still going. Reminds me of my St. Ives Apricot Scrub lasted a good year and a half.
The Silk Bath & Shower Purifying Mint Masque comes out as a creamy paste. It has the mint green color, very retro vintage.
Once spread out (or massaged into skin), it becomes translucent.
I find this better as its a lot less intimidating than a full on opaque green mask.
HITS:
CHEAP!
There other products out there that does the same I bet.
HUGE BOTTLE
This bottle just keeps giving in a cornucopia-like fashion!
NO STRONG SMELL
Doesn't smell strange or chemical-ly.
REFRESHING
Very cooling. Great for the summer!
CLEANSES SKIN
It gives the skin a thorough cleanse. If not, it can cause break-outs.
Product build-up happens on skin just as much as hair.
This product works like a scrub, except that scrubs are physical exfoliate
while this product is a chemical exfoliate.
MISSES:
MIGHT BE TOO HARSH FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
As it is a chemical cleanse, sensitive skin might react negatively to this product.
Make sure to try it on the inside of your arm first.
RELATIVE UNKNOWN
It's supposed to be a dupe (like a lot of products from the Dollar Store) for something.
I'm never a fan of dupes.

HOW TO APPLY:
STEP 1: Squeeze a small amount on to your fingers are massage it all over your face.
Trying to get an even amount on the face can be a challenge if you're OCD.
The product will move about as it is massaged on to the skin.
TIP:
Avoid the hairline and the eyebrows (not like me :P).
Stay away from the eye area. I've been really good with this so I'm not sure how much it stings if it gets into the eye. I don't really wanna know lol.
STEP 2: Leave it on your face for 12 to 18mins.
I've often left it on for 20 to 25mins at a time with no bad reaction.
It doesn't go solid on you like peel-off masks. It remains gooey.
STEP 3: Wash it off completely with water!
Massage your face as you wash at as splashing of water on the face won't cut it.
It needs to be physically wiped off, or else some of the product will cling on to skin.
DONE!!!
The Silk Bath & Shower Purifying Mint Masque
works like a heavy duty facial wash.
After application, your skin will not have any oil on it so it is IMPORTANT to use moisturizer afterwards (your regular moisturizer will do).
Your skin will also appear a tad bit fairer, a temporary effect.
Don't be alarmed if you see all your imperfections staring at you in the mirror: acne scarring especially.
That's just showing that there's absolutely no product (makeup,etc.) on your skin.
RECOMMENDATION:
If you're looking for an affordable everyday clarifying masque that's easy to use and cleanses well (does its job), the Silk Bath & Shower Purifying Mint Masque is for you.
The cheap price for the huge bottle you are getting is worth the buy.
Good luck!
