This clay mask is another cult favorite skin
treatment. I love using this mask a couple of times a week as part of my skin
routine. It smells slightly of mint chewing gum so it does
contain added fragrance. There is a pleasant cooling sensation on the skin as
the product is drying.
After watching a Vivanna Does
Makeup video on her youtube channel, I have been following her suggestion of applying the mask
with a foundation brush. I use an Elf foundation brush with synthetic bristles.
I really don’t recommend using a thick fluffy soft brush. I apply to the face
and the neck being very careful to not apply it to the delicate skin around the
eyes.
The elf foundation brush is a
great solution for not getting my hands covered with clay this definitely helps me to want to use this
mask more often during the week. Less cleanup is very nice because clay masks
can be very messy.
I have combination skin that has
dry areas and my skin felt very moisturized and clean after I removed the mask.
You can apply a thick layer of the clay to have a deeper cleaning of the skin
or a thin layer when you want to just quickly add a good cleansing treatment
step to a daily skin routine.
The mask takes about ten to
fifteen minutes to dry. I use a washcloth with warm water to gentle dab the
mask off my face and neck. Then I follow up with a cleanser either Cetaphil or
Olay Foaming Face Wash.
The claims on the label: Does it “rinse away
blackheads”? I didn’t notice this at all. “Helps relax tired muscles and ease
tension lines on the face and neck.” If you do a very thorough facial massage
while applying the mask with your fingers, I guess this could happen.
I love this mask because my skin
loves it and it is very inexpensive. I purchased it at Walmart for about $4.00.
Have you ever used Queen Helene
Mint Julep as part of your skin routine?
Thanks for reading!
