I received this product from my J'Adore VoxBox from Influenster last month and I couldn't wait to try this! I Apart from school, I work at a dessert shop where we are constantly baking sweets. This desserts are delicious for my tummy but not for my skin! I always come home with an oily face which results in me breaking out. This product was perfect for these situations.
Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask 100ml (Retail: $9.39 on Boots.com)
After I come home, I start my usually night-time routine and put this mask on after cleansing my face with my foaming cleaner. At first, the mask came out watery, which I assumed was due to the fact that this was a clay mask. I closed the cap and shook it for a minute. This fixed the watery problem and I put the mask on easily on my face. After reading the directions, I noticed it says to shake well. Silly me ~
This consistency was definitely not what I expected in a clay mask. I expected a really thick creme but even after shaking it, the thickness was like my BB cream.
The application was sort of messy but not difficult. Next time, I want to try applying the mask using a foundation brush.
The mask feels really cool and refreshing when applying and when it starts to dry, it feels really tight like a peel off mask. After the suggested time, I rinsed my face with warm water and patted dry. I remember thinking that this mask was REALLY easy to wash off. This is problem I had with other masks.
Despite this being a clay mask, my skin did not feel super dry, but rather it felt really clean!
Overall, I really like this mask! It does what it claims to and leaves my face feeling like I didn't spend 6 hours in front of an oven baking goodies.
