At Truth In Aging, we have been collecting some great masks and were almost spoiled for choice when it came to selecting the Five Best. They all serve a slightly different function: serious anti-aging (Jan Marini), environmental face saving (Glotherapeutics), hydration (Abrione), softening and plumping (Amala) and tackling breakouts and problem skin (Astara Blue). I even threw in a bonus DIY mask that has become a regular staple for tightening the skin (Ildi’s parsley mask how to gallery). Notably, Astara and Abrione are still with us from the last Five Best facial masks.

I would love to try Amala cleansing milk. I am always on the look out for good not over drying cleanser and this one sounds promising. I promise to write timely review if selected.
I’ve never spent more than $10 on a cleanser. Why spent big bucks on something that gets rinsed off in 60 seconds? I save my money for things that are meant to stay on my face. My only requirements are the absence of harmful ingredients and a match for my skin type. I use two cleansers, one for the oily t-zone and one for the drier skin around it. I’m curious to try an expensive cleanser to see if it is actually noticeably different.
The Amala cleansing milk sounds like it might have just what I need for my dry flaky skin. No matter what I try, nothing seems to help and with winter coming I need something!
Thank you guys so much for keeping me on top of the latest and greatest in natural ingredients! I love and devour this information! Wish I could try all of it….
I would love to try Amala cleansing milk. I have sensitive skin. I also suffer from occasional adult acne. I’m always looking to try something different.
OMG! I just turned 30 this year, and I wasn’t even paranoid about that, but I really do see the changes in my skin already! How did this happen overnight??? This is so not good. Amala’s range of products sound like the answer to my skin’s cry for help. What would I do without yall’s info keeping me informed with the honest truth? =) Thank you!!!
I am new to this site. Have always been interested in skincare and would love to try the Amala face mask and give a review to TruthIn Aging readers. Thank you for your consideration.
