If you know anything about Indian weddings, then you know what it’s like to go from event to event with basically naps getting you through. This mask right here saved my face during my wedding. My events started from Thursday dancing into Sunday, and it’s honestly because of this mask I had glorious skin through the whole process (If you’re Indian, getting married is a process, ha!).
Heavy make up, hot lights, lack of hydration and sleep deprivation are perfect ingredients for disaster. I applied this mask every night and woke up to refreshed, hydrated, vibrant skin. A big plus is this mask needs no time to work. The night before my wedding, I had T h i r t y minutes of sleep. Thirty. The mask’s true test was here alas and it passed with luminous colors. So what is it? Did I luck into a potion made by the Half Prince himself? Maybe, because this jar is pure magic.
Also, obsessed with my pumpkin find from T.J.Maxx.

How I like to use this mask:
Step 1: Gently exfloliate
Step 2: Place a warm washcloth to open up my pores.
Step 3: Apply this mask (don’t forget your neck!!). Most of the time I use it during the day when I’m at home but as it starts getting into the colder months I usually apply it at night.
Step 4: Remove with a warm washcloth and continue with your normal skin care routine.
Pros:
– Gentle enough to use on dry, sensitive, wind battered skin
– Does not drip everywhere and stays put on your face
– You can use it as a sleeping mask and let it work its magic while you sleep (it can stain your pillows, make sure you cover your pillowcases!)
– A creamy pot of antioxidants
– Made WITHOUT!! Parabens, phthalates, sulfates,propylene glycol, formaldehyde or dyes (purple color is au naturale)
– Cruelty Free, No animal testing or animal products
Cons:
– Can be pricey but able to get many uses out of it
– The packaging -_- I wish it was dispenser style to reduce bacteria, rather than a jar. I always use a clean plastic spatula so help avoid contamination, which can be a hassle when traveling and generally because I’m lazy..
The price: I know, is a sticker shock, at $60 for a 3oz. However, this lasts foreverrrr. I’ve had my jar for about 7 months now and use up to 2-3 times a week- that’s roughly around 60 times. So breaking it down it’s 1 dollar each time you use it. I used math for this mask, that’s how much I love it.
Will I buy it again: Y E S
Where to purchase: Directly from Alchime‘s website and (affiliate link) Amazon
