I love all the Essano products and thought it was time to give the clay mask a try. Like all their other products it’s beautifully packaged in their recogniseable natural and rose pink colours. The smell is a nice subtle scent, nothing overpowering. Very cost effective as you don’t need to use a lot of product. Nice and smooth to apply although it does dry to give that tight feeling that I’m not a huge fan of, but it’s the nature of the treatment and not unbearable for the 10-15 minutes recommended.
Big bonus – it dries to a natural skin colour so if you have ‘surprise’ visitors you aren’t answering the door with a blue or white coloured face.
In short, this has become an essential Friday night pampering product, follow up with the Essano night cream and it leaves your skin feeling beautifully clean, soft and moisturised.
I was lucky enough to receive this as a freebie when I purchased two other Essano products online from Healthpost and I have been using it once a week for about the last month now and honestly my skin has a definite glow about it and looks healthier.What I love about this and pretty much most of the Essano products is that it is natural based and free from any harsh chemicals that are going to irritate my skin and ofcourse made right here in NZ.The container is made from a hard plastic and i'm not so sure this is recyclable so they may want to change to glass containers in the future.Dipping my fingers into the soft clay texture of Rosehip Oil,Shea Butter and Aloe Vera and applying evenly onto my face feels lovely and soothing.There is a subtle Rosehip scent to the masque but it's not offensive and the Masque dries quickly.I did feel a slight tinging on my skin as the masque was doing it's majic but did not suffer any bad skin reactions.I left my masque on for about 10-15 minutes and then rinsed thoroughly with warm water,my skin felt soft,smooth and had a healthy glow to it afterwards.I found my moisturiser was easier to apply and sinked into my skin better,I also found my foundation also applied more smoothly and evenly.I love this masque because the results are exactly what my skin needed and hitting the big 50 soon,I need to take better care of my skin so this is my weekly pamper treat which is affordable and a pleasure to use.
