Review 1 : The Body Shop -Seaweed ionic clay mask

Lets sidetrack a bit , I have a combination skin where only my nose and cheek area are very oily and i also have acne prone skin which really suck for a girl. I have been using quite a number of mask and some acne treatment stuff and my conditions slowly improves :D So if you have a similar skin type , these products should suit you .
About the mask :  It is a grey colour looking paste with some black slits in it ,super thick and it smell alright to me. This mask cost me about S$20 if i am not wrong as i got it quite a long time.  It uses bladderwrack seaweed with 100% natural clay complex and it is suppose to 'detoxify and deep cleanse your skin where it uses natural ionic clay action to draw out impurities and control excess oil' based on the body shop website. *This mask is suitable for oily skin people

How To - Apply a thin layer over your face and leave it for 10 min and rinse of . Use it twice every week.

 
What I hate about : I love the Seaweed range by The Body Shop but i was disappointed by the effect of this mask. When u apply the mask, after about 5 min , your face will feel super tight (maybe because the dirt are being forced out) and it makes me feel scared of moving a muscles as i dun want my face to be wrinkled. It also completely dries my skin after removing it thus i suggest to put moisturiser immediately before your face becomes super oily. It is also difficult to wash off.
What I like about : It helps in decreasing the amount of oil and it also removes a lot of dirt thus leaving your face feeling clean and smooth , it also give a cooling effect which relaxes my face. I love the ocean smell that it gives off and without a timer i can also still remove on time as there will be a colour change .

Conclusion- I might not buy this mask again as it is really very expensive and it is a bit too harsh for my face . I have read some reviews that people with sensitive skin can't use this mask as it might cause breakouts , burning sensation or even red bumps. But if you are willing to spend the money on a deep cleansing mask that will remove excess oil , this can be in one of your choices :D

Do leave your comments about the product and on how i can improve for the next review . Hope you guys like it Thank You :D
