I’m determined to get my 5 empty pots so I can get a free face mask, can you tell? I’ll be reviewing the other LUSH face masks in due course. This particular offering is aimed at soothing and clearing spotty, congested skin. Perfect then for tackling my monthly hormonal breakout (too much info?).
For your £4.95 you get 75g of pale purple paste. It smells of blueberry mixed with kaolin clay which is unsurprising given the ingredients (taken from the LUSH website);
"Fresh blueberries are rich in beneficial antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to reduce inflammation and act as a mild antiseptic."
You slap in on and leave it for 5-10 minutes during which it dries like a traditional clay mask. After rinsing it off I do find my skin looks less congested but it feels slightly drier than normal so if you normally have dry skin you might want to be aware that it might make it drier. After the first use the huge angry spots on my chin were a fair bit calmer and less sore. After a few applications they had healed considerably. I’m not saying this is a miracle cure, it’s not, but I’m convinced it did help.
Once again the main downside of these masks is the short use by date. If you have dry skin and no spots (lucky thing) this certainly isn’t for you but for oily/ combination skin with blemishes it’s rather nice. The problem for me is that I wouldn’t need this kind of mask all the time which means it’s only useful for me for one week of the month and the short sell by dates means it would go off by next month. This means I’ve been using it rather generously and often within the space of a week so my skin is feeling a little dry. Because of this I probably won’t buy this particular mask again. If you’ve used any of the LUSH face masks which do you recommend I try next? x
