The Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating 2-in-1 Face Wash and Mask

Egyptian summer. Sweat. Greasy skin. Breakouts. These are all things any girl will tell you she absolutely avoids.

Now, there are as many skin types as there are women, but those can be arranged into four categories: acne, oily, dry, and combination (these can often overlap). The Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating 2-in-1 Face Wash and Mask we’re reviewing today is not destined for any particular skin type.

What is this exactly?

This product is a thick pale blue paste that smells and feels cool and minty on the skin. The tube is 150 ml, which lasted me approximately 5 months, used at least 5 times a week.

What does it do?

As a face wash: When applied to a wet face, it lathers a bit and becomes a face wash. Neutrogena claims that a face wash, it removes dirt, oil and make up, which is exactly what it does.  After using it, the skin feels very clean, refreshed and ridden of any impurities. Used regularly, it also has also helped clear a bit of my acne, even though the product does not claim to fight acne.

As a mask: The indications on the tube state that this product can be used as a clay mask weekly. To apply it as a mask, massage small amounts of the product onto your dry face. Remember, if the product comes into contact with water, it lathers! It is indicated to leave the mask on for 5 minutes, but I’ve left it as long as an hour and a half with no difference.

The mask is extremely drying and should not be used by someone that doesn't have oily skin. Applying it to my less oily forehead makes it feel dry and cracky.
