Skin's Boni Yogurt Mask

I love the concept and package design of this mask. It is very retro and current at the same time. Who doesn’t know the shape of this bottle? I remember gulping down several bottles of Yakult (yogurt drink) back when I was a child. Even my daughter loves this!

Now, back to the mask. I was pretty much surprised when I opened the package and saw that even the mask carried on the yogurt concept. The mask is well drenched in an off-white colored essence that is almost similar to that of a yogurt. It even smells like the actual thing – a little tart and sweet.  In fact, the scent lingered the whole time the mask was on my face. It was a bit weird but I guess the brand is after a realistic yogurt experience! 

This mask helps balance the skin’s pH. The healthiest level is when the skin is at a pH level of 5.5. I noticed that right after I kept this mask on for 25 minutes, my skin felt softer, smoother and a bit brighter. It also hydrated my skin well. As a matter of fact, even the day after, my skin felt very moisturized and supple.

I honestly enjoyed using this mask. It is fun, effective and very nostalgic.

 As I have mentioned previously, I love mask packs. It is easy and convenient to use. I do not have to think about which product goes with what – I just have to open the package and I am good to go.

First Step: O2 Bubble Cleanser

This is a very creamy, lightly scented facial wash which lathers rich when mixed with water. It does not leave a dry and tight after-feel after rinsing. I honestly love this cleanser and I think that this would be a great individual product.

Second Step: Booster Ampoule

The amount of the ampoule in the sachet is plenty enough for two applications, however, I decided to use up all by layering it. This ampoule is watery and has a soapy scent. It is easily absorbed by the skin.

Aside from its hydrating effect, ampoules are used to prep the skin for more moisture absorption from masks and moisturizers.

Third Step: Mask

Unfortunately, this mask has an alcohol scent which lingered for a few minutes. It is well soaked in essence yet the mask absorbed the liquid in such a way that very little product was dripping on my neck.

I kept the mask on for 30 minutes. It really did hydrate and moisturized my skin very well. There is also no stickiness left behind by the essence from the mask.

In as much as we all know that flossing is super important, a lot of us neglect this extra oral healthcare step – either we forget to do it or we just don’t do it properly. There is actually a way to make flossing easy and more effective. String floss is not really that effective – it is tedious to use and it doesn’t really get to the bottom of the tooth to remove every single bits and pieces of food.  

Water flosser or Oral Irrigators has been around for quite some time but it has not been part of the mainstream oral care routine. Perhaps because of the price or perhaps the bulkiness of the machine, people seem to just default to using their trusty old strings that doesn’t really do much cleaning.

I was given a chance to try and test Yasi Oral Irrigator.  Honestly, I am a big fan of water flosser – in fact, I have one at home. It is pretty bulky but I am happy with the way it cleans the nooks and crannies between my teeth. 

First Impression:

Compared to my old flosser, this model from Yasi is very sleek and compact. It looks more modern and straight out portable. It basically has 3 parts – the charging base, the handle which has the tank and control and of course, the nozzle.

The entire machine is the handle itself.  The tank can hold a good amount of water without compromising the sleekness of the handle.  It can be gripped comfortably by the user.

It also has four power modes for different oral hygiene needs: soft mode for gentle cleaning, normal mode for regular or standard cleaning, pulse mode for massaging the gums and point control working mode for water injection or burst.

 Nozzles

It also comes with 4 nozzles – 2 regular nozzles (color coded), 1 orthodontic nozzle – for those who have braces and 1nasal irrigator (perfect for those who suffer seasonal allergies).

Experience:

It is very easy to use this machine. I initially charged this for 8 hours prior to using it. Once set, I attached the regular nozzle and filled up the tank with lukewarm water. I used this irrigator the way I used my old one. I guided the nozzle on the base of my teeth and kept it at a 90 degree angle. The water pressure is very good and it really did clean my mouth. I also love using the pulse mode – it is just like giving my gums the extra care that it needs.  

Verdict:

I am very happy with Yasi Oral Irrigator. The sleek style and its portability is definitely a total bonus in addition to its effectiveness. It is a must have item at home.
