The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Face Mask

 
Do you ever go through beauty obsessions? Recently for me it’s been primers, I think I’ve tried so many over the past few months! Now it’s pretty much all face cleansing products as my skin has been a bit of a mare lately! I keep having huge breakouts along my jaw line and chin. It’s hideous and makes me feel like I’m 15 again! My beautician reckons getting spots there is due to hormones, so not sure how to resolve that one?!
Any way back to my obsession, I have been hoarding cleansers and face masks in attempt to improve my skin and the latest purchase is this face mask. This being The Body Shops Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask!
I love applying face masks when I have nice hot relaxing bath so it was no difference when I used this! I smeared a layer of this over my face and just soaked in the bubbles whilst it did its magic.
 
It’s not the most pleasant smell, and is quite pungent but after a little while you kind of get used to it. However looking at reviews others seem to like the smell this may be just my personal taste! The instructions recommend leaving it on for 10 minutes, which I did and it dried easily within this time. Unlike some other masks, it washes off really easily.
After use my face felt really fresh and smooth, it instantly removes all the excess oil and leave skin feeling lovely and soft. My skin felt really refreshed afterwards.
At £13.00 it seemed a little extortionate to me so I hesitated a while before buying it. I was recommended it by numerous people though and decided I would give it a try. You don’t need much of the product to get good coverage on your face so it will probably last you quite a while. It may seem a bit pricey but it really is one of the most powerful masks I’ve tried lately and will be my go to mask from now on.

  2. My skin really needs something like this but I worry I will react to everything as I have such sensitive skin.

  5. I am always willing to spend a reasonable amount on my facial products as I am obsessed with masks and polishes. This is a keeper for sure and works quite well on my skin too. Yay!

  10. I love the smell of Body Shop Honey&Oat mask, but sadly my skin didn't like it. Will have a look at this one, once I am in Body Shop. Speaking of primers that my current obsession now. x

  11. I'm so glad you sent me your link :) Lovely blog! I love a good old face mask, even better paired with a glass of wine and a bubble bath! I have sensitive skin though so would this be too strong? You said it's powerful and that rings alarm bells for me haha :)

  13. I bought this for the first time last week and I absolutely love it! I love face masks that totally dry up and harden a bit, I feel like they're working more haha!

    Love your blog, thanks for tweeting me the link! <3

  14. I love TBS skincare, although it can be a bit pricey at times. I've never tried this range though, I'm going look into it as this mask sounds good!
