Welcome All!
Today, I am going to be reviewing The Body Shop's, Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Purifying Scrub Mask, that was mentioned in a haul from last year. I've been testing this out for months to build up my credibility for this review. All I could say is I know for sure that I have mixed feelings about this mask.
Background Information on the Mask
The packaging of the mask states how, "Kaolin clay draws out impurities and blue corn powder exfoliates. Apply a generous layer onto cleansed skin. Leave for 10-15 minutes, massage to exfoliate, rinse off. Use 1-2 times a week. With uplifting bergamot, geranium and ylang ylang essential oils."
The jar holds about 4.2 oz (120 g) of product which is all you really need. For me, I haven't even seen the bottom of the container and I've been using this for months.
The mask is recommended for normal to oily skin. Honestly, I wasn't aware of this until I recently looked over the wording on the packaging. I believe my skin type is dry and the lady who helped me knew that. She still recommended this to me without telling me it was for people with normal/oily skin.
Texture, Scent, and Color
Texture: I would describe it as a grainy, thick, and the slightest bit of a chunky texture.
Scent: It has a strong, earthy scent. Personally, I like the scent because it's very calming to me. It reminds of a rich, fancy bar of soap.
Color: The mask is a light, pastel green. There are dull, yellow speckles that must be the bits of corn that adds to the texture. The picture below doesn't do the mask any justice when it comes to showing the color. It would be best to see it in person or in a better light.
Pros
- The mask is really good at exfoliating.
- The texture feels satisfying when I apply it on.
- I love the tingling/stinking sensation.
- The smell is really refreshing to me.
- It takes a little to go a long way.
Cons
- The mask starts to easily flake once it begins to dry (not a huge bother).
- It takes me quite some time to take it off. It's probably because I do it by hand.
- I can't tell if it's cleaning my face or not (a huge deal breaker for me).
