1st Impression: Hmm...red mud...did they use GA red clay? This...makes it look like I made a bad attempt at Ganguro fashion...
Rating: * * * *
Recommendation: Detox pores and exfoliate dry skin.
I'm not sure what I expected at first from this facial mask...outside of the detox and exfoliating aspect, I think I was just a little surprised to find the mix so...red. An application to the face leaves you looking like you've been out horseback riding on the dusty trails where the ground has a red-ish tinge in color. I half though I should wear a cowboy hat during the wait time before rinsing off this face mask. The mix of grit-volcanic ash appear to scrub and exfoliate the skin while helping to detox the skin pores. The mix of rosehip oil and licorice root give a curious scent that help soothe the skin.
Hmm...it looks like I attempted to do a bad Ganguro fashion imitation while I let the mask settle on my skin. It doesn't leave a stain or anything, just I noticed the red color reminds me more of that particular Japanese fashion trend from the mid-1990's...and I always found it a bit odd. The sample packet was easy to work with in trying out this mask and the first thing I noticed was the citrus-y scent. It was pleasant and refreshing as I let the facial mask set for bit before rinsing. I want to say my face felt baby smooth, but I'm not certain it reached that level...still close. For a limited amount available to use, I think it might be difficult to state how well it helps to detox the pores but it does make a noticeable difference in exfoliating one's facial skin.
This is pretty interesting mask, and friendly to sensitive skin as there was no redness or irritation during or after use. It's perhaps a bit easier on the face than Cackle Spackle if looking for a facial mask to detox one's skin. While I don't find this one as my preferred facial mask out of the ones I've experienced so far, this one is still pretty good.
