T Skincare REVIEWS HYDRATION HEMPEFIT HEMP INFUSED FACE MASK BY LISA BLAKE I used this while taking a bath with a CBD bath bomb (also reviewed in this issue). It is the wet, double-sided sheet mask type that you have to be very careful unfolding for fear of ripping the facial feature cut-outs. Something that struck me from the packaging was that it states it’s gluten free – are my other face masks not coeliac friendly? News to me. Another disclaimer tells me it’s not tested on animals, which pleases me. The back of the packet claims the mask will, “naturally heal, nourish, moisturise, detoxify and brighten” my skin. Big claims. It also talks about nanotechnology and pantex technology – terms which I felt needed more explaining as I was none the wiser as to how this ‘tech’ would leave me looking youthful and radiant. After following steps 1-5 on the packet, namely prepping the skin by washing, drying and applying, I relaxed back into my bubbles. 30 minutes later (10 minutes longer than recommended due to much needed relaxing time) it was time for step 6. I peeled it off and rubbed in the extra serum. Did my face feel more nourished, brightened and moisturised? Yes. Did it feel detoxified? Mmm, not really. I always think that claim should be left to blackhead removal scrubs. Did I feel naturally healed? I’m not sure my face was in need of healing but the overall result was positive. I felt like my skin had absorbed more moisture than it would with a regular mask which I’ve used before and I definitely noticed a new dewy glow that wasn’t there before. A thumbs up from me.
