Review: L'Oreal Paris, Pure Clay Rescue Mask
Sunday, August 06, 2017
My skin has always been a troublesome area for me, I find
that just as I think I have got it under control… bam the spots come back! For
me and many others this can be crippling, your face is what people see first
when they look at you. The first thing I see when I look at my face are my spots. This is why I am always on the lookout
for items which will help my acne.
Recently I have had another flare-up and I have been trying some
new products to combat it. The first one on my list is the new L’Oreal Paris,
Pure Clay Blemish Rescue Mask. Now the reason I bought this item isn’t because I
had heard great things or someone recommended it to me. It was purely down to
advertising and a promotional offer, I when I went into Boots and saw it was on
offer so I couldn’t resist!
Now there were a few to choose from, the range now includes:
- - Blemish Rescue Mask – which clears and unclogs
pores with this main ingredient being marine algae
- - Bright Mask – to even, tone and illuminate the
skin, the main ingredient is Yuzu Lemon
- - Purity Mask – This one purifies and mattifies
skin, with the addition of eucalyptus
- - Detox Mask – As it says on the tin this mask detoxifies
and clarifies your skin, the main ingredient is charcoal
- - Glow Mask – finally this mask brightens and
exfoliates the skin, the ingredient which helps with this is red algae
Along with each of these the main components in every mask
are:
- - Kaolin – A highly effective natural clay, known
to absorb impurities and sebum
- - Montmorillonite – Rich in minerals, a clay
recognised for helping to eliminate imperfections
- - Ghassoul – A pure clay highly concentrated in
minerals renowned to help clarify complexion.
So basically, there are a lot of amazing ingredients in
these masks! As mentioned I am having a problem with blemishes so purchased the
Blemish Rescue Mask.
L’Oreal claims that you will be able to see results after
one use:
Immediately – Skin is fresh, pores have shrunk and blemishes
reduced
Use for one week – Blackheads are unclogged, skin is
mattified
Use after use – Pores are cleared, skin is visibly
transformed
I can’t yet say that my skin is visibly transformed as I don’t
think I have been using the product long enough, but I can say that I saw
results after the first use.
I noticed was that the red angry spots which I had before, weren’t
so angry and that the redness had definitely been reduced. Which is a win in my
book. As for the other claims, I don’t think that my skin is more mattified but
I would say that the number of blackheads on my nose have reduced. I think
after more use I could see more results which excites me!
Often people are looking for that fast fix with skincare
which usually never happens. If you had bad skin then it is a process to
finding what works well for you, and then letting it happen, your skin will not
be transformed overnight. This is why I really like that L’Oreal says what you
should find from each type of use, if you don’t use it as often as they say
then you won’t see the best results!
The texture of this mask is lovely, it is very smooth and
almost silky in feeling. A little goes a long way and I haven’t made much of a
dent in the pot yet even though I use it twice a week!
It dries into a beautiful metallic blue shade, which I would
love to buy some piece of clothing in it! It does dry slightly tight but I don’t
mind that feeling. My skin feels really hydrated once I rinse it off. There isn’t
much of a specific smell, but it doesn’t smell bad and the scent it does have
is not overly powerful once it is on your face.
On to the packaging, which I love, sometimes with cheaper
items you can tell from the packaging that they cost less, but with the clay
masks, that isn’t the case. While the box they come in is quite generic, just
with the usual branding on the outside, the jar that actually contains the mask
feels really secure and more premium.
I would definitely recommend this product to people,
especially if you are having acne issues!! What is your holy grail skincare
product? Anything you recommend me trying?
