KIKO Energy Mask

Do you have an oily skin? A skin prone to breakouts? A skin that needs detoxifying? Or just a skin? Well, I might have found the perfect mask for you! This energizing mask by KIKO looks pretty cool because of its black colour, but is it any good? Let's find out!


 First of all, Kiko chose a very hygenic way of packaging their masks. You don't have to dunk your hand in a pot which will only get bacteria in it. The tube is pretty small so you can easily take it with you while travelling.
The packaging itself looks a bit too plain if you ask me, but I know that a lot of people like its look.

The active ingredients in this mask are the Kaolin and the Magnesium. Kaolin soothes dry skin and reduces oilyness and magnesium prevents wrinkles and combats skin allergies, such as eczema.

Now for the real test: my skin before and after the mask

So you'll probably notice the redness on my chin, but that's from the warm water I used. My skin does in fact look a bit smoother, though my pimples were only reduced a tiny bit the next day. Not as spectacular as I was hoping for.
My skin doesn't feel dry, which, for my sensitive skin, is a good thing.

The KIKO Energy mask costs: €5.99

Verdict:  Comparing price with quality, this mask is a pretty good deal. The packaging is pretty handy and stirdy but not expensive looking. The mask itself doesn't do wonders for your skin but it does make it look a bit better. Overall I would recommend this mask to those of you who have an easy to take care of skin, but still want a little extra.

What masks do you use?

Love, Vivian
