Due to the small size of the sample we were sent it is impossible to give an in-depth review of the product. This mask comes in a powder form that you mix with water yourself. Personally I wasn't a big fan of this as it could be a bit messy and I prefer no fuss products.

But that's just a personal proclivity. On application the mask dries as all mud masks do, in about 10 minutes. Afterwards my skin was feeling very smooth and clean.

It would have been nice to be able to use the mask a few more times to be able to tell if there were any other attributes to it. As it stands, it is a nice cleansing mask that if your budget allows is worth trying.

I was intrigued by this product - a mask you mix yourself - I thought it was a different and innovative idea, but also thought the mixing/application may be a little awkward/messy but this was not so, it was very simple and easy and I now prefer it to conventional pre-prepared masks. I have been using this twice a week and still have 2 or 3 applications left out of my 10g sample I was sent.

Basically this is a loose clay powder, very fine in texture that you mix with water to a light paste. It smells like clean fresh dirt, not unpleasant at all. In fact it was nice to use a natural product on my face with no strong fragrance. After rinsing, my skin felt and looked clean and smooth, and pore size was reduced.

It also helped to keep my skin clear of blemishes. I was impressed with it's' performance and the small amount you use for each application makes it great value for money. I would buy this mask for myself .




I'm a big fan of clay masks and use them regularly. I've found they're very effective on my skin. This product applied well on my face. It was a good texture, didn't have an overpowering smell, and didn't make my face feel too 'tight'.

After using the product, I immediately noticed my skin felt and looked a bit smoother. By the afternoon my skin wasn't as oily as it usually is. This is a good product.
Having said that though, I believe there are equally good clay masks on the market that are far cheaper.




As soon as I mixed the clay with water it was immediately thick, smooth and easy to apply. It didn't have a very strong smell for clay; it just had a faint smell like earth. I applied all over my face and let it set and dry which didn't take very long, and didn't seem to cake too badly either.

After waiting a few minutes I took it off and noticed how smooth it made my skin, and I did notice my pore size seemed smaller. I don't think it particular reduced the appearance of any of my blemishes though. But the mask was a nice treat. It is quite an expensive mask and although I did notice some improvements I don't know if I would buy it again for myself again.




My first impression of the product was that it was a very fine clay dust and a bit messy to use. I found the application difficult as I was unsure how much water to add and unfortunately added too much making it impossible to sample and review this product. I would not purchase this product for myself until I had tried a sample due to the high price.




I found this mask very hard to apply and felt that it was very drying on my skin. I did not like the texture of this product and felt it was too expensive for what it is.
