Neal’s Yard Remedies White Tea Facial Mask, 50g

Neal's Yard is expensive in Japan... but in the UK, you can get it on sale for about half the price in Japan. The moment I applied it to my face, I thought, wow, it smells like a spa or beauty salon! (Maybe there's a hint of incense in it too.) The clay pack clears the blackheads from my nose pores, and although I'd been using House of Rose up until now, this one feels more luxurious, so I decided to switch.

I have sensitive skin around my eyes, and the first time I applied it, my skin peeled. Since then, I've been using it on my nose and cheeks. When my mouth is sensitive, it stings. It also helps to refine and close the pores on my cheeks. It has a unique green scent. It's fun to apply, but it's quite difficult to wash off. It doesn't wash off easily with water, but rather clings to the skin. It's not exactly affordable, so if I were to repurchase, it would probably be next summer. Overall, I'd give it five stars.

Especially on summer days when my skin has been damaged by UV rays, I always use this mask that day to thoroughly moisturize and nourish my skin. It spreads easily, and my skin feels smoother after I remove it. It's not exactly cheap, but you can use it quite a few times, so it's a product I'd like to keep on hand like a talisman.

I have dry skin, so I'm looking for something that not only exfoliates but also provides other benefits. I'm currently using Dior Prestige Gommage and am on my second purchase, and I absolutely love it. I tried Neal's Yard's Frankincense from the series and loved it, so I decided to buy this one too. What attracted me to this product was that it exfoliates and provides intensive moisturizing! Next, I'm hoping that the white tea, which contains high-antioxidant polyphenols, will also help with damage treatment. ^_^ After washing my face, I wipe my face dry and apply the clay, avoiding the area around my eyes, until it covers my skin. I rinse it off after one minute. It's important not to let the clay dry out! If the clay dries, it will rob the skin of moisture. The website says that for even more moisture, you can apply oil, then use this product, and leave it on for two to three minutes before rinsing for intensive moisturizing. So I applied three drops of frankincense oil, applied it, and rinsed it off after three minutes. The smooth cream spreads easily and doesn't feel harsh on the skin. The scent is very complex and I can't describe it in my vocabulary... but it's not an unpleasant smell. My skin feels so soft and supple after rinsing! The Prestige Gommage leaves my skin feeling moisturized, like an oily film, and this one feels more hydrated from the inside. (Maybe it's because of that oily film, but when I look in the mirror, my skin looks shiny.) The soft, moisturized feeling remained even after washing my face the next morning, so I think it provides intensive moisturizing! When I use it when I'm tired, my skin may have been dull, but it fades and my skin texture improves, and I can really feel the effects, so I look forward to using it ^_^ Dior Prestige Gommage 150g is 15,000 yen, while this one is 50g for 7,500 yen. You have to use more of this one, so when you consider the total amount, this one is more expensive. But I really like it, so I think I'll be buying it again♪

I think this is a hidden gem. First of all, I love the scent. The texture is neither too hard nor too soft, and it adheres to the skin nicely when you apply it. I leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off, and it really does leave my skin smooth and free of roughness. I sometimes make my own clay packs, but the feeling after washing with this one is exceptional.
