Lush Mask of Magnaminty Review

This is one of my top Lush products and I've been using it for almost 2 years. I have oily sensitive skin so I’m always concerned about trying face masks incase they suck the living daylight out of my face but this product has been kind to me.

I don’t use this on my body at all (I see that as a waste haha); I use it as a full facial mask or purely to spot treat those evil bumps that turn up uninvited.

I’m not a fan of minty smelling products but I can make an exception with this one because it’s quite refreshing and unlike Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Mask it doesn’t have an overpowering ‘clay’ smell when it’s sitting on your face.

The product has a thick consistency and if you can hold your excitement try to apply thin layers because if it goes on thick you’re just wasting the product that sits on top of the layer next to your skin. I don't have any discomfort when applying or wearing the mask; it has a lovely cooling sensation which is very nice after a day of “face paint”.

I like to leave it on for 20 minutes which is a miracle considering I have sensitive skin. I always apply the face mask before a shower because removing it at the sink is just a complete mess. My face feels lovely and soft and there is no tightness. I could really see the difference after using it 4 times. Whenever I spot treat, I know that it will help to calm the evil bumps and they don't appear to be as prominent the next day.

Price-wise $18.90 is ok because it’s not a face mask I wear every day so you can stretch this out just be mindful of the expiration date. I did try to find an alternative but was not satisfied at all so I happily buy this as a permanent part of my skincare routine.

I absolutely love this mask. I use it once a week as the instructions say and then I rinse it off in the shower and afterwards my face is so soft and smooth and the next morning my pimples are halfway healed and face just looks fresher and clearer.

I hunted down reviews for masks suited to blemished skin and this one had rave reviews. In my cart it went and a few days later I had it in my hot little hands. I selected the self preserving option as it was the same price and gave me a much longer window of time in which to use it (mine expires in December so I get 3-4 months as opposed to one).

I have never used a lush mask before so was quite taken aback by the texture and appearance- green and lumpy, although the minty smell was amazing. It doesn't dry hard like a clay mask would, but instead sort of sets on the skin. I found this felt mildly tingly and cooling on my skin. Because I have a normal/dry forehead I don't always apply the mask all over my face but instead concentrate it on the areas which look congested or have large pores.

I made the mistake of using a flannel to remove this the first time- this is too harsh because it drags the exfoliating particles around your face. Instead I found the best way was to wet my face and then gently massage the product away- this exfoliated my skin so beautifully and delicately. I then followed with a wet muslin cloth to remove any last traces of mask.

This makes your skin feel baby bottom smooth and look much fresher and healthier. My pores around my nose appear reduced after use and my active breakouts seem to look a little less angry as well as heal a teeny bit faster also. This also leaves your skin with that minty smell! I have somewhat sensitive skin and had no aversive effects to this mask.

I am absolutely sold on this one and will be repurchasing when I run out!

I was recommended this by a Lush employee of course ! I am so glad I found this product.

It is one of the easiest masks to use, it spreads very evenly. None of the bigger blobs fall away from the skin. It dries nice and fast. It does no irritate, it cleans away nicely and itsnt a messy product. This mask has saved my Tzone from congestion and breakouts !!

This is a super minty, gritty, scrubby mask with a bright green colour.

It claims to draw dirt out of your pores but I didn't notice this effect. It was one heck of a scrub, though.

I think it would be better suited for body use as it contains a lot of mint, which can be irritating, and the exfoliating particles are too harsh for the face. It will hurt if you rub too much, so try to soften it as much as possible before removing. I also read on various skincare articles that this mask is not so good for the face for the reasons I stated.

I might buy it again to use on my body because it smells really amazing and uplifting, but never again on my face!

I have to admit, when it comes to products, appearance can be the make or break for me. So it goes without saying that when I looked in the pot the clumpy green stuff made me cringe. But the fresh minty smell was to die for and I was keen to see if this could help keep my skin clear.

I went all in and purchased the 315g pot of self-preserving mask. If you're used to smooth masks then this may take some getting used to. Although lumpy you still don't need to apply a lot. Upon contact with my face this had a nice cooling sensation.

It doesn't set hard. I find the best way to remove it is to wet it (in the shower is best) and massage like a facial scrub (then you get the benefit of a scrub). Or if you don't feel like a scrub just wet it and wipe it off. It rehydrates quickly and comes off easily.

The other awesome thing about this mask is that it's not drying. It leaves skin feeling super smooth and fresh. You probably only want to use it a couple of times a week though.

I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.

It. Smells. So. Good! Seriously, I don't even like mint and I think this is amazing. The mask is quite thick but goes on the skin smoothly. It takes a while to set but it doesn't set in that dry, sort of itchy way that some masks do. I really like Magnaminty, it feels the same on your skin as your mouth does just after you've brushed with spearmint toothpaste, almost tingly with how clean it is! Absolutely love it.

I was a little wary of this mask because I find so many masks I've tried make very little difference to my skin, but this wasn't the case with this mask! I keep this mask in the fridge and it feels super invigorating when I apply it to my face, especially because of the minty ingredients that cause quite a strong tingling across my face. I personally enjoy the feeling, but I can imagine that it might be a bit much for some people! I leave this mask on for 10-15 minutes or until it's dried and starts to crumble off. I remove with a hot wash cloth or rinse it off in the shower, because it is quite a thick consistency it can take a bit of effort to remove. This makes makes my skin feel so so clean, it really feels as if every spec of excess oil, dirt and product build up has been completely removed. I love this mask for when my skins just feeling a bit ugh. I feel that it brightens my complexion also. Not a bad word to say about this mask, it's one of my top 5 for sure!

The product comes in a black screw top lid tub, I love the thick greeny texture it has, definitely different, and the scent is so minty. I did first notice this product on one of my fav youtube channels so I knew I had to give a go.

The product applies onto skin smoothy and leaves skin feeling definitely fresh and tighter, Love it loads.

I occasionally grab the small tub of this mask as I really enjoy it fresh out of a cold fridge on a warm summer day but it can be a little too powerful if used often hence why I only get a small tub.

It really manages to pull all the gunk out and if you have a spot it will be gone by the morning there is no worry there, but it can suck a little too much of the natural oil out and I find that in some areas I end up with a little dry patch that is recovered by apply a nice oil before bed but it is a caution.
