Blackheads, post-inflammatory pigmentation (caused by past zits) and enlarged pores are the bane of my skin's existence. I exfoliate and mask regularly but sometimes, I need some instant gratification when it comes to reducing the look of my pores. 

I bought this the other week and I have been enjoying using this. Firstly, I love the sensation of warmth that this mask generates in contact with water. It's soothing for one and perfect for cold winter days. I use this in-between days of my usual clay mask and exfoliation. I like how easy this is to use - you simply apply this to clean, damp skin and massage it over your face like you would a cleanser. Simple.

So there is no sitting down for 20 minutes waiting for it to dry or sink in. And my skin is so much cleaner and smoother after each use. My pores look smaller and more refined too which makes this great before a night out on the town when you are running late and don't have time for your usual mask. Instant gratification.
