Lush is well known for their wide variety of Face Masks. Hearing so much about them (and the persuasion of a shop assistant) I just had to invest in one.
When I first had a smell of this chocolate scented face mask, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to handle it slathered all over my face. It is a very strong smell and if you don't like the smell of mint chocolate then I wouldn't recommend this for you.
This face mask claims to help oily and teenage skin by absorbing excess oil and calming breakouts. It contains cocoa butter, linseed and cocoa powder with peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils. I love all the natural ingredients that make this face mask so yummy!
This face mask is to be kept in the fridge and lasts around a month (depending on when you bought it).
It's very easy to use, as with all face masks, you simply have to apply a generous amount all over your face ( if the scent is too strong for you, I would skip under your nose). You can use it up to 3 times a week. I have normal/sensitive skin so I would only use it once a week as it can be rough on my skin.
During: I used this while I was in the bath, which I soon found to be a bad idea. The heat of the bath and the heavy face mask made me very uncomfortable. It was a very soothing, cool feeling when I first applied this to my face. It didn't dry up or crack either which I loved!
Removal: The removal of this face mask was surprisingly easy. I usually have a battle getting off a face mask and end up scrubbing so hard that my face turns into a tomato. I used a damp cloth to remove it and it came off with one swipe. Off course I had to rub around hard to reach areas (nose, mouth, etc.) but all together it was a simple, 1 minute removal process.
After: Once the face mask was completely rubbed off, my skin was left feeling soothed and smooth. My cheeks were a little red but I have very sensitive skin around there and all face masks leave a bit of redness. The next day I found that some spots I had been trying desperately to get rid of, had lost their redness and calmed down. An overall good result in my opinion.
After using this face mask I immediately knew that this was going to be a favourite of mine. Out of 10 I would give it a 9, considering how well it helped my skin. I believe it did calm my breakouts which is a miracle! I will be repurchasing this in the future.
