GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD
I remember the hype with the GlamGlow masks and I was kinda put off with the price. Anyway last Christmas I received a gift box which included the GlamGlow YouthMud and I was really excited to try it out. It's a 15 ml sample size and it's lasted me for nearly a year, it's powerful stuff and you don't need a lot! This exfoliating mud mask claims to awaken your skin, reviving and brightening it. It's a very thick texture containing volcanic rock and mineral ask, French seas clay and pieces of green tea leaf and a whole load of other natural ingredients.
I used this mask on my t-zone and any annoying breakouts, leave for 10 minutes to let it work it's magic. It dries completely on your skin and you can see your pores opening up, I don't feel a tingle on my skin though? I then gently massage the mask on my skin before rinsing off as this helps exfoliate my skin and leaves it refreshed and bright. It also helps keeps my spots at bay and not get worse, which is a good thing. I would happily purchase again as it's an arsenal against my skin woes! It's great these masks come in sample sizes so you can try them out beforehand and I can imagine the full 50ml lasting you for ages. Have you tried GlamGlow, which one is your favourite?
CAUDALIE INSTANT DETOX
You know I got to include a mask from my go to skincare brand, Caudalie. This Caudalie detox mask does not disappoint and the name says it all - detox for your skin. It claims to purify stressed skin, instantly detoxifies with it's natural clay formula leaving your skin more refined. I've tried a lot of clay mask and this one is by far the softest texture, it's a real treat to use on the skin with it's lavender and chamomile scent.
The pink clay doesn't feel hard or uncomfortable on your skin but very gentle and creamy. I leave for 10 minutes and you can see the pink clay darken on your skin and yours pores becoming visible, clearing them out! My skin feels soft and smooth afterwards, no tightness or dryness. This 75 ml tube last for ages and I use it quite regularly. Also the packaging is so lovely with the green tube and faux wooden lid.
