Garnier Pure Self Heating Sauna Mask
I was just trying out Garnier Pure Self Heating Sauna Mask with cucumber extract and zinc so decided to write a review about it before I forget.
Glycerin, Kaolin, Propylene Glycol, Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, CI77891/Titanium Dioxide, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Montmorillonite, Propylene Gycol, Aqua/Water, Cucumis Satmus/Cucumber Fruit Extract, Salicylic Acid, Zinc PCA, Spiraea Ulmaria/Spiraea Ulmaria Extract, Acrylates Copolymer, Alcohol Denat, Allantoin, CI42090/Blue 1, CI77007/Ultramarines, CI77947/Zinc Oxide, Lactic Acid, Lauryl Aminopropyglycine, Lauryl Diethylenediaminoglycine, Niacinamide, Propylene Carbonate, Serine, Sodium Chloride, SOdium Lactate, Sorbitol, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Tea-Lactate, Urea, Butylparaben, Phenoxythanol, Triclosan, Parfum/Frangrance, Hexyl Cinnaman, Butyphenyl Methylpropional, B9003/1
PACKAGING
It comes in two packets with 6ml in each packet which is really enough for both face and neck although I feel there isn't a need to slab it on to your neck. I really hate the plastic because it was hard to tear open and the instruction is on the top packet so it would be wise to use the bottom packet first.
TEXTURE/SCENT
It has frangrance. It smells kinda earthy but soapy. Can't really decide what it smells like. The mask is really easy to spread and not too thick but not too runny either so it's just right. It doesn't dry up so don't expect that. The color is a pretty light blue.
LOVING IT/LEAVING IT?
Pros:)
* You can expect a few pimples to pop up. It's normal.
Claims:
The formula generates a self-heating 3 minutes action on contact with the skin and works to remove impurities and excess sebum that can block pores. Your skin feels deeply cleansed and looks shine-free. It feels purified for up to 7 days. Dermatologically tested.INGREDIENTS

LOVING IT/LEAVING IT?
Pros:)
- Easy to wash off.
- Really does have a sauna effect. Some reviewers claim that it's mild but some feels like it's burning their faces off. But I like it.
- My face is shine free. :)
- Affordable.
- My face became itchy after using the mask for a short while.
- Doesn't feel like there is any deep cleansing going on.
- It won't dry. I like masks that dry up.
- The heating sensation doesn't really lasts 3 minutes.
- Kaolin (it's a type of clay): Really good for oily skin and drawing out impurities.
- Titanium Dioxide: The best chemical sunscreen?
- Salicylic Acid: Good for pimply skin and some exfoliation. But skin will be temporary sun sensitive.

Thanks for passing by my blog. The Kose nose strips alright. haha. After a while it doesn't work as good as the first time. I plan to purchase the Naris Up Carbon Peel next time once I run out of the Kose. I read that it's a lot better in clearing up the pores.
I didn't know Garnier made Masks. ahaha. I've never tried any self-heating mask before but Shiseido makes a real good self-heating scrub to unclog pores, it's called Pore Purifying Warming Scrub. I highly recommend it. However, it's not intended to be used as a mask, it's more of a gel type scrub that you massage onto your face and rinse off. I've used it before and it really helps to minimize your pores.
How much is the Shiseido one? Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Hehe, do you have a review of it?
@Cris: Hey babe. If you used it in an air-con room then it wouldn't be as hot. But your skin is already flawless! :)
thanks for stoppin by my blog!
I'm thinking about getting their whitening serum..and few more of their skincare stuff.
Also their Powder & foundation. LOL
basically, everything and i will need about $300 to get them all LOL !
did you have anything in mind that you want from P&J ? You should definitely try their whitening serum cause alll the blogger ladies have been talkin about them =)
xoxo
Thanks for dropping by my page and for the comment. =)
Your page is cute. I like ur photoshopping too. I wish I had photoshop, but I don't. All I can do is use the basic paint and the color changing option that came with my comp.
@beeyoutiful7: Yeah yeah! I wanted to get the whitening serum too. Have a lot of pesky acne scars I wanna get rid of. I also heard a lot of raving reviews about the liquid foundation and oh your welcome :)
@Sassy Jadore: Thanks! I didn't photoshop them though. Yeah, me to. Hehe.
I haven’t used the Shiseido’s self-heating scrub for quite a while now, I have no idea why I stopped, I prefer it more than their cooling essence (they say you should use the cooling essence after the heating scrub to make your pores even smaller but I think the scrub already does the job). It’s around $23US, comes in a squeeze tube and last quite a while (I had mine for year) since you only need very little on areas around your face.
I would say it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and it doesn’t feel like it’s burning your face off. Haha. It does contain microbeads and small purifying granules which helps to deeply clean your pores. You use it only once a week, after cleansing, be sure your face and hands are dry before apply it then massage it on the areas of the face where you feel it’s clogged or where there are visible pores and massage for 30 seconds then rinse off, follow with daily skincare. It’s a really great product. I don’t have a review on it but you can search on Makeupalley or on google for some reviews.
smells just like baby oil !
Im sure youll love itt
XOXO
@beeyoutiful7: I wanna get it but have to wait till my holiday trip cause there isn't The Face Shop in my city. :(
@prettybeautiful: It was only for a while though but I have to keep myself from scratching my face. Maybe the salicylic acid was too strong in the product you used? Have you tried the aspirin mask?
with that mask i just applied a thicker layer. yes i guess patience does help ^.^
thanks! i didnt buy the costume.. i made the pattern and chose the fabric but i got someone else to help sew xD
Oh wow, here they are selling at around 1,000+ Yen. I never have enough patience to go around.
@Ladyfei♡: How the heck do you two type in the heart sign. Grr. I can't figure out even if my life depends on it.
I like Lush too but there isn't a store here. I heard "Angel on Bare Skin" is damn good!
If you buy the costume, I think it will be very expensive. That person can start his/her own shop! It's really good, the costume.
thanks for dropping by and teaching how to pronounce " meringue"
haha... lol, I make it such a funny pronunciation.
update us on the shine-free effect! :D
nice review!! ^^
@miRaCLe: Thanks. :) Welcome back.
Thx so much for your consoling comment! I already feel better now!^^
feel like just trying one despite not very effective based on your review.
