Skin Product Review: Superdrug's Tropical Cocktail and Purifying Cucumber Peel-Off Face Masks.

Hello! Today I'm going to be reviewing two face masks from Superdrug that are perfect for oily skin or break outs, especially in the winter season. I have started to use these a lot more often as I do have oily skin and constantly have break outs so I need something to calm my skin down.

So let's get into the review:

   Tropical Cocktail

This was the first time I've ever used this one and it contains a lovely blend of fresh mango fruit and Noni Fruit (which I've never heard of!). Superdrug claim that it will 'revitalise your skin and leave you with a healthy looking glow'. It is paraben free and BUAV approved! It's a sort of orangey colour and quite thick but also watery enough so you can spread it evenly around your face.

How to use

First of all, remove all your make-up and thoroughly cleanse your skin so it's ready for application and make sure it's dry otherwise the mask won't stick. Using your fingertips, gently massage the substance onto your face (avoiding the eye and lip area) and leave until completely dry. The packaging does say to leave for 10-15 minutes but for me, this definitely isn't long enough to start peeling it off and it's still pretty wet so it roughly takes about 20 to 30 minutes in my opinion. Once it's completely dry, peel the mask off gently but don't pull just in case you damage your skin. If there's any dry excess mask still there, just wash off with warm water and pat dry.

My thoughts

For the first time using this flavour, I love it! I can really smell the fresh mango scent and the quantity of the product is just perfect so I don't have to worry about storing the opened sachet afterwards. I love peel-off masks, they're so much fun to take off for some reason! It peeled off smoothly and I had no trouble getting it all off. It left my face feeling much tighter, fresher and cleaner. It effectively removed dead skin and any blackheads I had. I love it and it's perfect for oily skin like mine so I'd highly recommend this if you have the same type of skin as me.  

Purifying Cucumber

Like the Tropical one this is also paraben free and BUAV approved. It 'soothes tired dull skin and gently lifts away dirt and impurities to reveal a newly revised and radiant complexion'. It's made of cucumber as you can guess and it's really suitable for all skin types. In the packet there is 10ml of the product like the other one and this time it's a sticky lime coloured gel which is pretty cold but still nice.

How to use

Again make sure your face is cleansed and completely dry before massaging the mask all over your face using your fingertips. Always avoid the eye and lip area as these are fairly sensitive zones so any pulling can damage your skin. When dry, peel away! Remove any reside with warm water and pat your face dry afterwards.

My thoughts

This is my favourite one and I've used it quite a few times before. After peeling off the mask, I literally cannot stop feeling my face! It's so, so soft and feels so fresh and healthy. Again, it removed any dead skin cells and blackheads I had. The cucumber smell is really great and not at all overpowering, it's just light and lovely.

I got the tropical mask and two of the cucumber ones because Superdrug had an offer of 3 for 2. Their usual prices are just 99p which is brilliant if you want to achieve beautiful feeling skin at a cheap price. 

They have plenty of other flavours and other face masks like clay and deep exfoliating ones as well, so check them out here: Superdrug Facemasks. 

So have you tried any of these out? What did you think of them?

Thankyou for reading.
