Review:
A product that delivers on its promise to exfoliate and moisturize skin, The Body Shop's Blue Corn Mask is the most effective cleansing mask I have used so far (pitted against Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask with Pink Clay and Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Mask). After washing off the mask, I can see the dirt peeking out of my pores, which can then be easily extracted with the help of a steel blackhead remover.
Some tips for using the mask:
While it says on the package to apply the mask onto wet skin, I find it hard to spread the mask when applied that way. Instead, I pat my skin dry after washing before applying the mask.
The mask dries after about 10 minutes. Before completely rinsing off the mask, massage it first, like you would with a facial scrub, to exfoliate skin.
Comments:
During the first few times I used this cleansing mask, I felt a cold and slightly stinging sensation on my skin. My skin is not very sensitive, so it didn't result in any breakouts, and I just kept on using it.
An option for those with normal to dry skin is the honey & oat 3-in-1 mask.
Both the blue corn and honey & oat masks are not available in The Body Shop Philippines. The mask is available in Hong Kong for HKD 209.
