I love love love this mask! I'm on to my second pot already and it's become a staple in my beauty routine. The mask comes in a small pot and you can see the turmeric in there - it's bright yellow! I smooth an even amount over my face and relax. It has a pretty subtle smell and slowly dries on my face. It tightens slightly as it dries but doesn't get uncomfortable like some clay masks do. I wash it off with a cloth and hot water. It does take a bit to get it all off and I'd definitely use either a dark cloth or one you don't mind getting stained yellow - this mask definitely stains! My skin feels lovely after this mask - soft, and hydrated and it looks much brighter each time I use the mask. I use it once a week and love how my skin feels after I use it. My favourite product at the moment - go and buy it now!

Tips: Warning - this mask, like anything with turmeric in it, really really stains! I use it while in the bath so it doesn't stain my clothes
I was expecting great things from this mask as I adore the cinnamon facewash from Essano but it unfortunately just didn’t have the wow factor. I do a scrub/mask combo weekly to keep my skin in good condition and I suppose I could say I’m somewhat addicted to that ‘after-mask’ new skin softness and this product just didn’t have it. My skin felt clean and fresh but not overly soft. I loved the colour, soft scent and texture and found it a bit easier to wash off than some other brands I’ve used. I was very excited to be trying a turmeric based product and over time perhaps this would have some anti ageing benefits. Will still give the other products in this range a go.
I was a bit sceptical about using a mask with Turmeric because although it has been known for its healing properties, it has also been known for the bright yellow stains it can leave behind yikes. Luckily I didn't have to worry about walking around with a bright yellow face lol.
Just a small description of the packaging - it comes in a generous sized glass jar with a screw top lid. Easy to get the formula out, unfortunately it didn't come with a little spatula, but that is okay as I prefer to apply all my masks with an old foundation brush for easy application.
It has a lovely creamy yellow formula which when applied to your face goes on so silky smooth, so no clumpy bits or patchiness. Once it has been on your face for the recommended time (10-15 minutes, I left on for 15 minutes) it then dries and tightens but not to the point where it is uncomfortable itchy or flaky like you have just applied chalk to your face.
I took it off with a hot cloth and then patted my face dry. My complexion looked visibly clearer the first time I used it and then continued to do so every time I have used it. Once my skin has dried completely, my face is smooth as a babies bottom.
I just love this mask and it has become a fast favourite of mine now. I would be keen to try other masks in the range too.
After using this mask, I haven't really noticed a difference to my skin. I know turmeric is a wonder food, so was really hoping that I would see some effects. It's a really nice, creamy consistency though, so feels lovely to put on, but I have yet to see any evidence of it brightening and smoothing my skin.
