Trilogy Mineral Radiance Mask | Review

Hi beautiful girls…We all love to pamper ourselves. Be it a salon facial, at home facial peels or a good massage or a weekend mask routine – Everyone will find sometime from their busy schedules for some little relaxation. In today’s post I am reviewing a kaolin clay mask from Trilogy. I have been using this since 2 months now. There are a lot of benefits if  we include a kaolin clay based face mask for your skincare routine. A good kaolin-clay mask purifies, vitalizes and boosts the cell renewal of the skin. Deep cleanses the pore and refine the skin thereby helping get rid of acne, blackheads etc.
