As a beauty-loving shopping editor who enjoys experimenting with new skincare products, the No1 de Chanel Red Camellia Revitalising Mask piqued my interest as soon as I heard about it. A gently exfoliating face mask that evens and refines the skin’s texture sounded like exactly my cup of tea. The only problem? My skin’s unique combination of characteristics can be quite frustrating.
Allow me to explain: my skin has quite a lot of texture, along with faded acne scarring and pigmentation. Resurfacing face masks should be my bread and butter really, but there my skin has thrown another spanner in the works—it’s pretty sensitive and breaks out ridiculously easily. When it comes to trying out new face serums, night creams and SPF moisturisers, patch tests are always crucial (and rarely successful), and with face masks—especially ones with any active ingredients—I have to be even more careful.
