The Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Masque has been on my list of masks I have wanted to try for some time now. The only thing stopping me from purchasing it was the fact it costs £45, which if it turned out to be a product I disliked, was a lot of money to pay out. So, instead, I purchased a deluxe version from Beauty Expert* which cost just £6.72.
Using the botanical extracts to soothe, hydrate, detoxify and calm, the main ones being:
- Cucumber Extract - Known for its ability to nourish, hydrate, comfort, soothe, calm and de-puff the appearance of skin.
- Papaya Extract - Being rich in vitamins, this natural enzyme works to soften the appearance of skin.
- Chamomile Extract - A natural flower extract which helps comfort and soothe the look of skin.
Working alongside these, you will also find the inclusion of Pineapple, Sugar Maple, Sugarcane, Orange, Lemon, Bilberry and Aloe Vera too.
The advice for using is to apply a generous coat on to clean skin and allow it to work its magic for 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water. If you feel your skin needs a more intensive treatment, then the advice is to apply a thin layer as the last layer of skin care and leave on overnight.
On the skin, this masque is incredibly soothing and, if like, you pop it in the fridge for about half an hour before you use it, it is incredibly cooling too. Perfect for use when its been a hot summer day, you've been to the gym or are feeling a bit flushed. The gel, which is clear isn't sticky or tacky when applied and you only need a small amount. This tube has so far given me 4 uses and ive applied it to the entirety of my face, so there is perhaps enough left for one final use. Once it is rinsed off, my skin feels soothed and moisturised and not at all stripped. It ticks a whole lot of boxes for me and I have since ordered a full sized version.
Designed to be used between 2-3 times a week or if your skin needs it, you can use it daily for intensive hydration. Widely available, but I bought my deluxe version for £6.72 via Beauty Expert*.
