AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask

Just received a sample, cant wait to use it! I love this brand, but find it quite expensive

My first experience with the brand

I was somewhat disappointed by the size of this sample. It barely makes it for one application, I had to use it very sparingly indeed. Having said that, I must confess that I did enjoy using this mask. I generally use deep cleansing masks of this type anyways as I have an oily T-panel and I'm prone to monthly breakouts. So using this came at exactly the right time.

It really sucked my pores clean of dirt and I was left with clean and decongested skin. My skin was soft and smooth with no dryness at all. This mask paved the way for my moisturiser application and my skin was left leaving revitalized.

I received a sample of this product in my November Rubybox. This product costs R340 for a 100ml tube. This mask is designed to purify your skin and reduce oil which was perfect for me. Although I don't have very oily skin I have been using a high spf sunscreen lately which does tend to leave my skin feeling oily. This mask has a greenish tint to it which reminds me of those old school mud masks one would see in the movies and tingled slightly while it dried. After leaving it on for 5 min (the sachet said 2 min) I had to remove it with a wet face cloth as it wasn't rinsing off well with water alone. My skin feels so soft and smooth and not dried out or irritated at all. I really like this mask especially for summer but I think it might not work as well during winter.
