Ginger And Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask Review

First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask ($32) is a new hot mess of a mask that promises to brighten your complexion with Vitamin C, ginger, and turmeric. I'll never understand why a brand that's apparently dedicated to making your skin and feel great without adding irritating ingredients continues to churn out these oddball products that have a host of a problematic ingredients.

See what I mean here:

In theory, First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask sounds great. I'm always looking for ways to brighten up my complexion. The jelly texture also sounds cool plus they promise it'll sooth and calm stressed out skin. Ok, my drier skin is a bit sensitive at the moment that sounds fabulous!

Let's do this!

First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask arrives in a 4 oz jar with a recommendation to use it three times a week. Mmm ok, that's a little excessive but alright. One of the first things that is off about the mask is the fact it comes in a jar. If this does in fact contain Vitamin C it will degrade given it is exposed to air each time you open the jar not to mention the jar is clear and lets in light.

But packaging aside it's what is inside that might quite agree with your skin but let's discuss the texture first which is an interesting jelly-like consistency. I thought the texture quite interesting. It applies easily and it feels very, very cooling on my skin initially and during the wear. I kept thinking what a nice mask this would be for humid Summer nights. The instructions say to apply it generously which I did easily enough. It isn't a drippy texture that it will slide off your face as you wear it. I had a little bit of a hard time rinsing it off and find that using a wet wash cloth to remove it is much, much easier. It has a strong ginger-y herbal scent which could be a potential issue for sensitive users. And most important, it does tingle or dare I even say burns during the wear and feels like a pumpkin enzyme mask in that aspect but isn't nearly as painful. It's odd because every review I read about it didn't mention the tingle/burn so, I'm wondering if it was just my skin in particular.

I read a few reviews that said it dried skin out but thankfully I didn't feel that way once I rinsed it off. It didn't hydrate my skin by any means nor was it supposed to but it didn't dry me out either which is a plus. My skin didn't look visibly better after using it but my skin did feel smoother. The dryness at my cheeks in particular seemed smoother and softer. Maybe I'm imagining it but the morning after my complexion did appear brighter and less dull.

There's quite a few ingredients here that may or may not be an issue for many users one of the bigger ones being ginger root extract which can be wonderful orally but may be an irritant used topically. Also, lower on the list are a good deal of photosynthesizing citrus oils such as lemon and lime. There's also a small amount of lactic acid so, you'll want to take precautions with SPF as you should always do anyway.

Overall, First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Ginger & Turmeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask wasn't a particularly life changing skincare experience for me. It did make my skin smoother and I'm under the disillusion it looked brighter as well the day after I used it but it does contain some rather bad ingredients that sensitive users need to watch out for. Even if it is made my skin brighter the effects will probably be fleeting due to the jar packaging that will spoil the formula.
