REN F10 Smooth & Renew Mask

I have very sensitive skin so exfoliators, which contain beads, can be a little too harsh on me. I therefore decided to look into other forms of exfoliation. 

This mask by REN was being raved about by so many other sensitive skinned beauty lovers, that I thought it would be rude not to give it a go. I'd never tried anything from REN before but I will definitely be checking out more of their products after testing out this and a few samples they sent me with my order. 

The packaging is simple yet classic and tells you exactly what you need to know without confusing you with medical jargon e.g. 'Gently exfoliates and renews the complexion'. Pretty straight forward, plus it does what it says on the tin!  It also comes with a very handy cap to pop over the pump after every use; I hate having product smeared all over the packaging. The mask itself is a very thick orange substance which feels pretty sticky, I have to say it's not the most pleasant feeling product and feels really heavy on the skin, but it is a mask so I don't mind. After leaving this on for 10 minutes I wash it off with the small muslin cloth that comes included with the mask.  This just adds that extra bit of exfoliation to make sure you get all those nasty dead skin cells off. 

The first time I used this I immediately saw a difference in how bright my skin was, and it definitely exfoliated without any irritation or redness occurring. The F10 mask is the sensitive skin counterpart to the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal mask (which I got a sample of but have yet to try out) and I have to say I am very impressed with how gentle it is on my skin. 

I like to use this 1-2 times a week to keep my skin feeling fresh and renewed and find it fits nicely amongst my normal skincare routine. This mask is a great alternative for those of us with sensitive skin who find normal exfoliators too harsh, no more red blotchiness and sensitive cheeks!
