When it comes to face masks, new products are being put on the shelves almost every day. some are high end, some are high street priced. Some are in a squeezy tube, some in a pot. Some work and unfortunately some just don't.
So when I saw L'Oreal had released 3 new "Pure Clay masks", that could target different issues all at once, I knew I needed to try them. Now, I'm not going to give you any false hope. I found these sooo hard to get a hold of! I think they're exclusive to Boots? Don't quote me on that - but I've not seen them anywhere else! The first.... 3(?) times I popped into a Boots store, they were completely sold out. I was starting to lose hope, everyone was raving about them and I felt like I was banging my head against a wall. Finally, I found them last week. Well, I say I found them, I found 2... Left the shop sat in my car and ordered the 3rd online for me to pick up the next day. The deed was finally done. I could breath again.
They're soooo pretty! Each pot is 50ml, glass with a plastic come chrome effect lid. Its super simple, yet sleek - they couldn't have done better! Oh, and did I mention they are currently only £5 at Boots? That's a price no one can complain about! The icing on the cake though, is how versatile they are. You can use 1 at a time, all over your face. Or you can apply all 3 to different area's and "multi mask", whatever you do, you're not going to regret it. Each mask is designed to target 3 different skin prone issues whilst being infused with 3 different types of pure clay. Like most masks, you apply to clean dry skin, leave to dry for 5-10 minutes (or 10-15 if you're like me) and then wash off with warm water. Easy peas-y.
So, whats in my masks?
"Koalin - A highly effective natural clay, known to absorb impurities and excess sebum.
Montmorillonite - rich in minerals, a clay recognised for helping to eliminate imperfections.
Ghassoul - a pure clay highly concentrated in minerals renowned to help clarify complextion"
Each mask contains all 3 clay's as well as being infused with 1 more ingredient each to enable them to give you some TLC in any target area's you may have.
The red glow mask, is infused with red algae, to brighten and exfoliate the skin. I must admit, the smell of this mask is m least favourite, but is still pleasant. It's not enough to put anyone off. The texture is thick, creamy and beaded for exfoliation. We've all used really tough exfoliating mask before, but this is not one of them. It's super gentle on the skin. I have used this 3 times over the last week, according to the masks box, after a week "pores feel tighter, skin texture is refined" now I hate, if i don't have a mixture of good/bad things to say about a product.. but they're right! Plus, my under eye are is much brighter - it almost looks like i'm one of those people that get 10 hours sleep every day!
This is the 1 that I had to order in, it is impossible to find on shelves! The black detox mask, is combined with charcoal, so it's really gonna draw out any impurities. In fact, L''oreal describe the charcoal as a "magnet" for your impurities.This masks gets right down, deep into your pores giving you a real thorougher cleanse. After, my skin looks fresher and it feels like my skin can really breath. Again, after a week, L'Oreal state that skin should feel fresher and more luminous - oh boy they are right again! I just feel super clean and fresh! I dare any black heads to appear on my t-zone now...
Finally, we have the green purity mask. I feel like all face masks should be green, I don't know why... It's just the colour I picture in my head if someone says they've got a face mask on! The purity mask is infused with Eucalyptus - it smell's so good. This is perfect for mattifying the skin without completely drying it out, they've got the perfect balance down to a T! I can't get over how my mattified my skin is, when the mask itself is just so so creamy! Obviously, they say after a week skin will "look mattified, cleaner and softer" and obviously, they have hit the nail on the head. I'm definitely noticing a lot less shine!
OK L'oreal Skin Experts, top marks -- obviously, I don't know the ins and outs of dreaming up and producing skin care products but you guys definitely do, and using these little pots of heaven you have put on the shelves makes my heart happy. My skin is in a great condition, and if i'm honest, it has never ever been this soft before. Especially just after I've taken the mask off... Oh. My. God, imagine running your hands through the fur of a kitten - my skin is 15 times softer then that!
Please, I urge you guys to give these bad boy's a try - you are going to be soooo impressed!
