Product Results
Ok so before I go any further I must say this product reacted strangely to my skin. Maybe it was the chemicals in my cleanser that caused it, but after washing my face I put this mask on and then it started to burn and itch. It left my skin super red the whole day. At that time I had left it on for about 20 minutes instead of the intended 10. Trying the mask one more time on just a spot of my face I had no more bad reactions and now I can use it perfectly fine. I’m pretty sure the chemicals didn’t mix well with the cleanser residue on my face. That being said, please don’t leave this mask on for more than 10 minutes and also be aware it may not react well with other cleansers or lotions. If the results worked really well I would recommend this clay mask but for me the results were minimal on keeping my pores tight and clean, and the chemical burns showing me that the ingredients are far from natural. I don’t think I’ll be buying this one again. There are much better clay masks on the market out there. Goodbye Hydrating Blue Clay and onto the next mask.
Please note! All products that I review are bought at affordable prices. I’ve noticed online that some stores are selling these products for over $100. Don’t buy it! Recently stores both online and in person are becoming more unethical in their prices so please don’t fall victim to their false practices. To prevent such a scandal I’ll now being placing an estimate pricing on all the products I review for your benefit.
