TONYMOLY - More like Holy Moly!!

If you've ever been to Ulta, those little kiosks at the checkout line can be brutal. They can also be a blessing when you find that random item you never knew you needed.

I have very dry skin. Dermatitis is a known enemy of mine, and I battle it on the daily. I've tried really gentle cleansers and all natural moisturizers, and found minimal results. Individually each product would be great, but when combined with another (for example, cleanser and moisturizer) it would just be uncomfortable. There also didn't seem to be a moisturizer strong enough to prevent my skin looking like an alligator's backside.

Thankfully, I've found a balance between moisturizers and cleansers - but something was still missing. I needed just that extra punch to really give my skin the love it needed.

Well, while I was checking out of Ulta this past weekend I saw a little green package. Little did I know that this little green package was going to save my skin, and only cost $4. It had an avocado on it too, and I hadn't had lunch so subliminally my mind just needed it.

It was a TONYMOLY "I'm Real" mask for Nutrition. For four dollars, what did I have to lose? I quickly grabbed it and tossed it in my bag before checkout.

When I got home that night, I checked the instructions and tried out the mask. You remove it from the package, and unfold it - making sure to leave proper room for your eyes and mouth. The smell was very pleasant. Lightly perfumed and immediately cooling on the skin. I made sure it was well put on all areas of my face and relaxed for 30 minutes.

Once I removed the mask I instantly noticed improvements in my skin's condition. IMMEDIATE! That natural radiant glow came through in full force, and I was amazed. I rubbed the remaining product into my skin and then moisturized on top of it to lock it in. I could barely feel that scaliness I had been experiencing and my skin just felt really good overall.

The next morning I touched my face, and my skin was incredibly soft. I then touched the patches on the left and right of my chin and there was a very large amount of dead skin. I initially started to worry, but then I noticed it was just flaking off! No discomfort, or inflammation... so I ran to the bathroom to wash my face (I use Cetaphil). Once I was done, I couldn't believe it - my skin looked amazing! There was still some redness, but none of the sensitivity or scaly skin!

My skin is still holing up a few days later (I did this on a Sunday night and it's not Thursday). The redness has cleared up completely, and my dry skin hasn't made a comeback. Even my skin tone has evened out a little. I might even try a BB Cream soon.

 I'm sure I'll want to reapply one of these masks every so often - so I'll be heading back to Ulta soon to get more. If you've got dry skin I definitely suggest getting one of these. It's $4 for one, and that will do miracles for your skin.

And of course, as always please follow me on Twitter and Instagram for looks, and general makeup shenanigans.
