My favourite brand from Hong Kong, O'slee came out with new offerings: Pomegranate Milky Mask and Honey Sugar Mask. No prizes for correctly guessing which one I have - the title already gave away the secret. Haha!
How to use:
1. Dry face
Apply the mask on dry face, gently massage in circular motion for 1 minute, then rinse.
2. Wet face
Apply the mask on wet face, gently massage in circular motion, then the sugar will melt down. Let the mask stay for 5 - 10 minutes then rinse. (Source: O'slee's press release)
Honey Sugar Mask is housed in a heavy duty ceramic jar, topped off with a plastic lid. It comes with a spatula and a sponge (not pictured) to facilitate the rinsing process.
It requires a little more effort than regular wash off masks or exfoliators to rinse off because of the slip from the carrier oils.
Vat of goodness equipped with the warning this is not food.
A wet surface is a must for it to be used as a mask. Upon contact with water, the grains of brown sugar melt to form a paste-like texture.
I have used this product for a month, long enough to get a gander at its effectiveness:
☑ Peeling
It does not peel per se, but it does exfoliate, which I believe is its goal. Exfoliation is a better term, peeling just begs for misinterpretation.
On a dry surface, the mask acts like an exfoliator to slough away dead skin cells. It is abrasive due to it having scrubby bits (thanks to the sugar), but it won't irritate in any way. Just remember to use a light touch!
☑ Whitening
I was not convinced that it would brighten but I was proven wrong. In order to snap the pictures seen in this post, I applied the mask on my left hand, and it miraculously became so much brighter compared to my neglected right hand.
☑ Moisturising
This mask is packed with carrier oils like jojoba seed oil, grapeseed oil and olive oil. These oils leave a moisturising film that absorbs quickly and leaves my face soft and nourished.
Before.
After.
☑ Removes blackheads
Naturally, the exfoliating action helps to loosen the comedones lodged deep in my pores.
If you are a fan of sweet scented products you will enjoy this. I don't particularly care for the scent but I know many will rave about it. It has a high potential to get messy, so be sure to apply over a sink or during a shower.
You can pick this up, along with the rest of the O'slee line at oslee.com.my and selected Guardians nationwide.

This looks so yummy and nice! I love pomegranate, so I bet the other one is wonderful too. I bet it smells amazing too!
ReplyDeleteThe jar has a curvy body. I imagine that it won't be as practical as a tub. No I haven't tried the Black Sugar Mask. Should I? Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteHey @Kaerra:disqus
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't! I think that other Korean products bears more resemblance for example Mizon's Honey Black Sugar Scrub and Skin79's Sweet Honey Sugar Scrub. Skinfood's version lacks honey haha
This looks so yummy. And the fact of honey and sugar sounds so good on the skin.
ReplyDeleteohh this sounds ever so heavenly! I love honey/sugar scrubs, and all the oils in this sound wonderfully softening too. I actually haven't heard of this brand before, what are your favorite products from them?
ReplyDeleteThey are all pretty good but my fave is of course the Honey Sugar Mask!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that instrument you used to measure the moisture levels in your skin?
ReplyDeletei'm a fan of oslee products and i loveee this honey-sugar mask!
