Life, On Your Skin

Review: The Body Shop’s Himalayan Charcoal Glow Mask

facemask.pngThe O2 Priority Moments app recently offered up free face masks from The Body Shop so I grabbed one to review. I really like products from The Body Shop but feel they’re quite expensive so a free sample was very handy.

Smell: I actually really liked the smell of this facemask. It’s smokey but fresh and has quite a strong smell but it’s very pleasant and not overpowering.

Texture: This facemask had quite a lumpy texture; it is filled with little leaf pieces and other bits and pieces which give it a rough texture. It’s a grey mixture and feels really nice when it’s applied to your face, almost minty in the way it was cool against the skin which was a really refreshing feature.

Aftermath: After removing it (in circular motions as directed) my skin felt very fresh and silky and still feels gorgeously smooth hours later. Follow with a moisturiser for the best results.

Overall experience: I really liked this facemask. It was fun to apply and felt refreshing on my skin. I’m prone to being very sensitive to creams and lotions but this didn’t react badly on my face which was fab.

Ratings

Recommendation: 8/10. I enjoyed it but might have preferred something slightly smoother.

Results: 9/10. My skin was silky, soft and felt lovely.
