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.
