Being the beauty obsessive that I am, skincare has truly always been my thing. I love skincare and I love knowing all the science behind a product and still continue to learn as technology is always advancing. One skincare treat that I particularly love is a face mask as it is the kind of thing that you associate with some 'you time' where you can focus all your attentions on pampering yourself whether it be 10 minutes, 1 hour or a full day, this time is important just to make you and your skin feel good.
Coming from a more luxury skincare based background, I love high tech products and when I heard about Radical Skincare, I was very intrigued to try it out as I like Radical's ethos and attitude towards skincare. So my first skincare product that I got to try from Radical is the Instant Revitalising Mask. With this promising to take my skin from 'dull to dazzling' in minutes, I don't think I have ever opened up a box so quickly. Boy this product is unique. I can honestly say this mask is unlike no other mask I have tried. If your looking for a fun, fast working, highly effective face mask that shall brighten up your skin within minutes then your really going to like this one. We all spend so much money on make-up highlighters to 'fake' that glow, but why not get it for real .....

Radical Skincare was founded by two sisters Liz and Rachel, the daughters of a world renowned Professor of Plastic Surgery, who wanted to make a Radical difference to peoples skin which led them to creating the brand. They are committed to putting money in the bottle (i.e. ingredients) as opposed to outside (i.e. fancy packaging). All skincare is paraben free, cruelty free, clinically proven and designed for all skin types using the best in anti-ageing ingredients and powerful antioxidants. Their story is quite amazing so go and read more here, you'll be amazed!
The Instant Revitalising Mask link here! is designed to brighten and boost your skins radiance to give you soft, smooth, dazzling looking skin in minutes, by delivering a cocktail of vitamins, plant extracts and antioxidants instantly.

I love the 'Be Radical!' slogan on the packaging! It has a pop up lid applicator which is great for keeping your product hygienic but it's mostly because of all the active ingredients that need to be kept air tight. Important; You must shake it up before use to activate the tiny little oxygen bubbles that carry its ingredients to your skin.

The mask is a beautiful golden fluid which then transforms into a white foam after rubbing into the skin. Take a couple pumps of product and apply a thin layer all over your face (avoiding the eyes), rub in until it turns white, then leave it on for 3-5 minutes ..... sit back and listen out for the bubbles!

Now for the really unique part that shall really freak you out, in a good way of course! Within those 3-5 minutes whilst the mask is on your skin it shall start to fizz with tiny oxygen bubbles that will pop all over your skin. Imagine a fizzy effervescent Vitamin C tablet dissolving in some water, hearing it bubble and fizz as it dissolves ... well that is exactly how this mask feels.
You will notice the magic GPS working as you shall see those problem areas on your skin start to dissolve first then gradually it shall disappear and wear off all over. When the popping stops and the mask has gone clear, it's time to rinse it off. Very simple.

I can honestly say it is the strangest feeling when this is working on your skin and one you shall either love or hate but for the results it delivers, it's worth every single minute of fizzy-ness. After taking the mask off my skin looked visibly brighter and so clear, it felt super hydrated and even my pores looked a lot smaller too. I found that my make-up applied so much better the next day and I didn't need anything too heavy in coverage as I wanted my skin to shine through. I have used it a few times now and each time I get the same amazing results. This has fast become my little magic 'mid-week helper' when I want to give my skin a boost. This is a great pre-party skin treat when you want your skin to look amazing! I have recently been going though some bad health issues and this mask has really worked wonders to keep my skin looking clear and rekindle some of my lost glow.
If your skin is very highly sensitive then I fear this may be a little too active for you but it's a good face mask for all skin types to use, just bear that in mind. It's such a fun product that gives you amazing results that you can see immediately after and all with minimum effort. It surely does what it says on the box and for one love it.
For me it's a real star 5/5 product!

I cannot wait to try out more products from Radical as I love the fact that it's only a very small line consisting currently of 9 skincare products, so getting confused by what to use is not an option. At last, high tech skincare made easy for everyone, hurrah!
Be Radical ... ;-)
