Beauty Kitchen’s Night Halo Potent Sleep Mask

Anyone else feeling stressed and tired at the moment? I am! My body is holding up quite well, but not my face! To help it out I thought a face skincare mask might revive my dull, tired skin. I dragged out Beauty Kitchen‘s Night Halo Potent Sleep Mask that was gifted to me by a friend hoping this would be just what my skin needed.

Why did I use this mask?

I’ve heard of this brand before but never used any of it’s products. I love their ethos about using natural ingredients which made me interested in their products but never got the chance to purchase any. I was very curious to see how this skincare mask would perform so thought now was the perfect time to test it out.

What is this supposed to do?

This mask is designed to be used on the skin at night and go to sleep with it on! It’s supposed to detox the skin, nourish it and help to give it a well rested feel and look.

Packaging

This isn’t the full size of Night Halo Sleep Mask but more a travel/mini size. 6 ml of product came in a small screw top lidded tin which is reusable. The tin itself is housed in plastic casing so instructions, ingredients and how to use are visible.

How does it look?

I got excited when I took the lid off this for the first time. I LOVE texture! And I love rich textures such as butters and balms. When I saw this mask glistening in its pot, it reminded me very much of balms I’ve used in the past from high end beauty companies and brands. If you haven’t tried or seen balms before, think of a clear potted lip balm and that will give you an idea on how it looks. Not coloured as such but not transparent either, with a natural shine to it.

Fragrance

Anything like this in my opinion, unless made for those who are super sensitive to fragrance ( even natural ones ) needs a fragrance. Why? Its a treatment and should involve as many senses as possible that will help you to relax, especially before bed time. So this scent is a little surprising as I thought it would smell like lavender which it doesn’t. There’s a subtle zest to it, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say citrus is the strong, zesty way. Pleasant, easy to breathe in and won’t offend anyone scent wise.

In use

I used this as suggested at night time, after a very VERY long bath. I exfoliated first so that this mask wouldn’t be wasted on dead, dry skin cells. Then I popped a thin layer over my whole face, avoiding the eyes, down my neck and stopped above the bust. Very easy to apply with a small amount going along way. My skin didn’t appear greasy or shiny, but did have the smallest amount of sheen to it. This literally melted between the fingertips and went into the face just as easy. Fragrance was pleasant and quite relaxing and not too strong considering this mask was sitting on my skin for literally hours.

The day after the night before

Despite getting up at 4.30am the next day, and being very tired, I decided to brave it and glance at myself in the mirror. What was obvious to me was that my skin already showed signs of improvement. My skin looked and felt smoother with a much more even look texture wise. I looked much more rested than what I was. I wouldn’t call it a facelift, more a fresher appearance.

Any surprises?

I thought this teeny pot would only provide one treatment, but I’ve used this at least 3 times and its still quite full. A little does go along way and although you can buy the full sized version, this is an ideal try me size and perfect to travel with.

Recommended?

Yes! Goodness I LOVE this product! Its quick, easy to apply and going to sleep with this on is perfect for the lazy side of me. The fact this makes you look more human when you wake up is ideal when already tired. Packed full of natural ingredients such as shea butter, sweet almond and bitter orange oil, this really is a gorgeous product that works!

This comes in a variety of sizes and can be bought direct from the Beauty Kitchen or Holland and Barratt for £17.50 for the full size of 60ml.
