I have quite dry skin with sensitive/cracking spots also, so I was very happy to get this mask as a gift with the Nudes 2 box. The pottle is very cute in sturdy brown glass with a screw top lid, it also comes with a small spoon/applicator.
The mask is an off white colour and looks kind of like shiny clay when in the pottle. The feel is closer to a gel texture which smooths really nicely over skin. Applying this mask is very nice as it smells sweet but not fake or overpowering. I'm finding my skin does absorb quite a lot of the mask after the 15 minutes, and I just wash off the excess with warm water and a facecloth. My face feels so fresh and smooth afterwards I know I'm getting tonnes of hydration!
The price tag is quite high but I would be very happy to buy again, as I've used it on 3 occasions so far and have barely made a dent.
This beautiful mask is heaven in a jar. Now while you think that might be a tad over the top, for me it just is.
The reason I love this mask is because everytime I use it, my skin just looks better, more hydrated, more smooth and more firm.
The jar itself is made of frosted brown gloss with pretty peach labels that are easy to read, simple yet sophisticated. It clearly states the instructions on the label which is great because having to keep instruction pamphlets from each product is not that easy to remember to do especially when my bathroom is full of other products. Plus hubby throws them out in frustration ha ha ha.
The mask comes with a wee little black spatula for scooping out the product but personally I prefer to use my fingers as my hands are always clean beforehand and it is only me using the mask so need to worry about the hygiene aspect.
I apply a nice amount, not too much though as a little bit goes a long way and glides over your face quite nicely. There is no stinging, or itching or any of those annoying reactions when leaving it on, in fact I actually can't feel it and sometimes forget I even have it on my face as it feels quite light.
It says to leave on for about 10-15 minutes and after that time I grab a hot wash cloth and pat it off my skin as it keeps my pores open and allows the product to continue to work its magic. If I am using it in the day, I apply the Calming Serum followed by the Moisturising Cream. If using it at night, I apply the Restoring Oil then followed by the Moisturising Cream.
Although the price tag is a bit on the high side, I would most definitely purchase it as this will last you for ages. Definitely recommend this if you do experience sensitive skin.
Tips: Sadly though these products do not have any SPF in them so you will need to apply this on top of the products. I believe they do this because everyone reacts differently to SPF so by leaving it out, each individual can use the one that works best for them.
