Nice clay mask

This was not a usual clay mask where I had to wait for ages for it to dry, but it also wasn’t that effective to remove dirt from my pores. It’s a nice consistency, spreads easily and is very gentle on the skin, it wasn’t drying at all and removing it was easy as with a damp washcloth. I have tried lots of clay masks and I prefer the ones that remove more dirt from my skin as I’ve found this clay mask a bit too light, not enough deep cleaning sadly, but the ingredients are really nice and are good for the skin. In my opinion this face mask is best suited for people with more mature skin with a bit of break-out, cleaning pores as it’s not a drying clay mask, not suited for very big pores, oily skin and for lots of break outs. I wouldn’t buy this for full price, but maybe if it’s on special for a really great deal I would, I’ve gotten my tube in one of my beauty subscription boxes.

Most Gentle & Effective

Needed a new clay mask and purchased this online for $5. Love almost all of the prodcuts I have tried from this brand so definitely had expectations on performance of this product. 55ml stand up tube, love the style of packaging.

Such a creamy texture I'm surprised it was a clayoung. Didn't use anywhere near as much as I thought I would. Maybe a teaspoon in total for full face coverage. Did begin to feel a bit tight on dry but not uncomfortable. Dried faster than other clay masks I have used. Also super easy to remove. Didn't stick to my face at all. Skin left so clean, clear and soft.

The most gentle but effective clay mask I've ever used. This has become my new favourite. At the retail price I doubt I'd repurchase. If I see it on sale again I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

Good stuff

I'm not a big user of face masks, basically I find them annoying and can't be bothered for the most part, but I do quite like this one.

This is a thick clay, it's difficult to spread an even layer over my face I find, but I'm not too worried about that.

What i do like about this clay mask is that it dries really quick, within a few minutes and then I wash it off. It rinses away easily and leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh and extra clean.

This clay face mask is easy, painless and not messy to use, as well as achieving a desired affect.

In my opinion it's fairly pricey however, (I didn't buy this product myself it was a gift), and although I like it I probably wouldn't go and spend $35 on this small 55ml tube.

A bit drying

This clay mask comes in a beautiful white tube with the very classy Linden Leaves branding. It's quite pricey at $35 but I only use a clay mask once a week so I figured it would last a while. I've had pretty good experience with Linden Leaves products in general, so wanted to give this a try.

The mask is white in colour and has a delicate, subtle scent. It felt nice going on my skin, and very quickly began to dry and harden. I found it dried quite hard and definitely felt like it was deeply cleansing and exfoliating as promised. When I took it off my skin felt cleaner and showed fewer impurities.

The downside for me was that the mask dried my skin out quite a bit and more than other clay masks that I have tried and prefer.

I don't think I'd buy this one again for the reason that it dried my skin out a bit much, but I'll keep using the bottle I have, just maybe once a fortnight instead of once a week.

Tips: Use a good nourishing moisturiser afterwards

Linden Leaves clay masque

I received this in the NZ brands 2 box and have used it a few times now. The packaging is very classy and sophisticated as Linden Leaves products usually are. The masque has a slight scent that is not unpleasant nor overpowering. The big plus with this is it is a light grey ish white colour so does not stain or leave a mess on towels or clothing if it gets on them. It's really easy to apply, rubs on smoothly and evenly and feels lovely on the skin. It drys and hardens without making the skin feel too tight or uncomfortable. Removing was also quick and easy, it wiped off with a flannel and warm water. Overall it's a pleasant product to use but did not really do anything special compared to other masques.

Tips: This is very easy to use, no special tips required

Amazing and not messy.

It was a lucky find to come across this product in the BBBE NZ Brands 2 box. I have tried other Linden Leaves products and found them a bit hit and miss but I’m always ready to try another one.

It comes in the same gorgeous feminine packaging – the white box with a pink strip and small, classy print, as other Linden Leaves products. It looks like a luxury product from the get go.

I was surprised to open the box and find a very cute tube with the same classy branding inside. I was expecting a cloddy big pump for some reason and the tube of white cream was entirely unexpected in a very positive way. The thick cream squeezes out tidily in a thin line and applies easily and without mess. I say this, as I have used a hundred clay masques and they are usually thick and mucky. That doesn’t make them bad, but this is certainly easier. Once applied, it doesn’t dry into an uneven flaky mess either. It kind of sits on the skin and quietly dries without flaking or powdering.

The product claim is that it will deeply cleanse, and lift away impurities. For me, it did deeply cleanse and lift away impurities, and did so very softly and gently, without the mess that usually comes with clay masques. I don’t have oily skin, but I do have blackheads and open pores in my T zone, and I can see how much nicer and cleaner the area is after using this masque. It does leave the skin a little dull afterwards, so my skin benefits from toning and moisturising afterwards, as you’d expect.

It is a great product. $35.00 is quite steep for a clay masque, but this is a very good product and a very good brand, so it is worth every cent. Also, it doesn’t take much product each time so it does last a while. I will use it again and I recommend it to others to try.

Tips: Apply to warm clean skin and relax while it does it's work. Follow with a toner and moisturiser for a fresh, glowing complexion.

Linden Leaves Clay Cleansing Masque for Oily Skin

I bought this when Linden Leaves was having a good gwp purchase special and decided to try both of Linden Leaves' masques. I like that this masque unlike a lot of other mud and clay masques, it doesn't stain towels as the masque is white. The ingredients are kaolin, magnesium aluminium silicate, titanium dioxide, bentonite, green tea, chamomile and comfrey extracts, propylene glycol, fennel essential oil and honey. While some mud and clay masques have this earthy scent this one has a very faint, hard to detect scent. I like that this masque dries pretty quickly on my face, it's easy to smooth a thin layer on or a more if you want a thicker layer. I find that whether I go for a thinner layer or a thicker one it still dries pretty quickly. As it dries it feels pretty stiff and tight, I can see where all the pores are and where the oil was sucked out of the pore. It feels pretty similar to Living Nature's Cleansing Clay Peel or Skinfood's Mud Masque. One nice thing about this as well is that as after it dries it doesn't leave dust or flake like some other clay masques can once they crack and dry on your face. Despite the tight feeling it rinses off really easily even if I don't use a wet face cloth or hot water, I like that as it's convenient laundry wise but if you want a bit more exfoliation a hot face towel will help but it's not necessary to get the masque off easily. Once it's rinsed off my pores seem a bit smaller and my skin is ready for some nourishing skincare. This masque is recommended for all skin types but since it doesn't give any moisture I would only recommend it for the oily to combo to normal skin types. I'm not sure if I would repurchase this maybe if it's on sale, because I've gotten the same skin results from a more affordable mud masque which the tube is twice the amount and half the price of this one. The only exception being, that this one does smell better and rinses off easier with just water.

Tips: If you are going to purchase this wait till Linden Leaves has a good gwp or sale to get the most for your buck. If you really like a hard clay masque that sucks the oil out of your pores and don't like the earthy scents of some clay masques this is a good choice. I don't recommend this for dry skin or sensitive skin as it could leave your skin feeling really tight and dry afterwards. If you don't like using a face towel to rinse off your face masque this rinses off really well and you don't need to use hot water. On the flip side if you don't like your face towels stained by other mud or clay masques this doesn't stain at all. I like to apply some really good facial oils and a good overnight facial masque after using this clay one.

I agree, a good oil afterwards really helps with dullness. But I think it is a great masque overall.
