Review:  This product reminded of the Formula 10.0.6 Turn Up The Heat Self-Heating Clay Mask only this one is in a gel formula.  This comes in a white box packaging with silver and blue typography.  The products is housed in a clear plastic tub with a white screw cap.  The mask is a teal blue gel which is very soothing to the eyes.  I am a fan of self-heating or warming masks because it is the closest thing to steaming your face without actually steaming it, if that makes sense.  Of course, facial steamers are probably more effective but for a routine that you can forget about for 10-15 minutes once its applied and go about other things you normally do, this is perfect.  Warming masks are my go-to's if I have any breakouts on my face (nothing major) because it really helps open up my pores to allow the detox to happen.  The gel has a rich consistency but it is easy to apply all over the face.  I can really feel my face warm up once the gel has been applied (make sure it is applied evenly).  I use this once or twice a week; depending on what my skin needs as I also have other face masks that I use and rotate.  This makes my skin soft and plump after each use and I can see the results immediately.  If you haven't used a self-heating or warming mask before, I recommend that you do a test patch to make sure your skin can handle the warmth (it's not hot; but I know it can cause redness if your skin does not agree with it).  I have very sensitive skin and so far this has not caused any irritations.  If you are into facial steamers or heating masks, I definitely recommend this product.  It's affordable and it is easy to use/apply.
