Product review - The Body Shop Blue Corn face mask


Hey everybody long time no see, that's because I'm in middle of moving, everything has been packed up :) blogging on my phone right now. lol

Lets get straight into this, so the Blue Corn face mask from The Body Shop is a 3 in 1 deep cleansing scrub mask, best known for oily skin. WARNING if you have sensitive or dry skin STAY AWAY from this mask. 

Let us have a look at the key ingredient in this mask 

  • A blend of bergamot, geranium and ylang ylang essential oils - includes oils that are renowned to help balance an oily skin type. Provides an uplifting and sensual aroma during use.
  • Blue corn powder - gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells, excess oils and dirt.
  • Glycerin - is an effective moisturiser which helps improve softness and maximise hydration.
  • Kaolin clay - helps control shine. Deeply cleanses, drawing out impurities from the skin. Is a mineral that helps to restore the skin's natural balance
Even with the natural ingredients in it this mask, it still can be pretty harsh for some skin types. It really stings at the first time when i put it on, so i washed it off quickly. thank god my face wasn't red or anything. so later on i decided to give it another try, the second time wasn't too bad, it was more a tingly feeling than stingy. i normally leave it on my face for about 15 mins, it gets pretty tight and hard on your face.
when i wash it off, I wet it and gently rub it in circular motion, the scrub works really well to get rid off the rough and flaky skin. 

After wash it off, immediately put on your face products moisturiser/serum whatever you use after washing your face. because this will soak up all the oil on your face to the point your face will get so dry and so tight that you will need tons and tons moisturisers. 

Pros: soaks up the oil, really deep cleanse your face, didnt break me out,  exfoliates. 
Con: harsh, very drying. 

Will i buy this again??? the answer is NO! i still rather my Lush Cup Cake mask better :) will stick to it! 

Let me know what do you think about this mask? and what's your favourite mask?

Take care
