I was a little apprehensive about this mask and how it would settle with my sensitive skin, although the collection does state that the masks are suitable for all skin types so my hopes were high. I suffer from a dull complexion at the best of times as I am sad to admit that I do not take as good care of my skin as I should, so I was really hoping that this mask would leave me with even the slightest glow as I was not expecting instant results. What struck me the most was the unusual hue of the mask, it looks like crushed brick which is certainly unique. You get 50ml of product in a nice weighty glass jar, at least it feels like glass. Personally, I use my fingers to apply the mask to my face, although for future reference, I shall most definitely be using a brush for a more clean, hygienic and even application.
Onto the mask itself, the "powerful three clays" are: Kaolin which absorbs impurities and excess sebum; Montmorillonite which helps eliminate imperfections and Ghassoul more commonly known as Rhassoul (so I don't know why L'Oreal have chosen to call it Ghassoul, maybe to make it look like it is completely new?) which helps clarify the complexion because it is a clay rich in minerals.
To
Use: Simply apply the mask with your preferred tool (for me it's my
fingers) onto dry, cleansed skin. I applied an even layer all over my
face and neck, avoiding my eyes and lips. I left it on much longer than
the recommended 5-10 minutes.
Considering that my skin is very sensitive this mask didn't bother me at
all,
it tingled slightly at first but that disappeared quickly, although my
face appeared slightly reddened afterwards, which for me, was expected.
There is a
scent to it but for me it was very faint and not lingering. In total, it
must have remained on my face for about 20 minutes before I washed it
off in warm water.
The mask doesn't dry down on the skin entirely and you can visibly see the slightly gritty texture which when you rinse it off works to exfoliate the skin. After removing it my skin felt noticeably softer, smoother and overall looked healthier. I wouldn't say it was glowing but perhaps if I did use it multiple times a week as suggested then the results would show more. The jar it comes in is meant for 10 uses only, so if you did use the mask 3 times a week as implied you would whiz through this fast. I would recommend buying in bulk if you think this mask is for you. Most stores, Superdrug and Boots for instance, more often than not have an offer on like 3 for 2 so that would be an ideal opportunity to snap up as many of these as you can. I see myself repurchasing for sure. I wish it was bigger so one jar would last months rather than weeks but very decent for the price.
