REVIEW: PART II - L'Oreal's pure clay mask [Hydration mask]
HELLOOOOOOOOO! Its been ages since my last product review, my apologies :|
Firstly, I'm so glad that L'Oreal Pure Clay Mask range is finally available in Malaysia for the past few good months, and after countless jars of Detox and Purify masks from Watsons.
Plus point is, THERE IS A HYDRATION MASK! Back in Thailand, I only saw Detox, Purify and Brighten, no Hydration but TA-DAAA! I've got one in my hand now... was so excited that I tried it on the day I got my parcel from Hermo Malaysia 😍
Now, let's get back to 'business' shall we ;)
The price remains at RM42.90 (this is from L'Oreal's official website here, others depending on sales/promos by different pharmacies/stores) but HOORAYYY Hermo just had cyber-sale tagging only RM20 each!!! Take my monehhh and I got half a dozen of it! *forgive my over-reactions okay
Hmm.. the printed information of the mask contents aren't as detail as the previous ones that I got from Thailand. Anyhow, it stated that this mask helps to HYDRATE, PURIFY and SOFTEN. Yes, PURIFY which mean it is partly a 'cleansing' mask, so, remember to adhere to the time you leave the mask on as it will strip moisture off your skin if you have it on for too long. Recommended time is 5 minutes for dry skin, 10 for normal/oily skin, or best is before it cracks.
The main ingredients here are:
Bentonite clay (also called as Montmorillonite clay) : wow.. it has quite a lot of benefits according to Dr. Axe, please give this a good read.
Lemon Balm essential oil: mainly helps to ease stress and anxiety
Glycerin (they call it hydrating essence 😕): draws water from the air into the skin;s outer layer, also forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss.
VERDICT *drum rolls*
Hahhh I know there's nothing much to see from the picture but, its more of a white-coloured hydrating mask so you cant expect to see blackheads popping out.. or do you?
PROS
TEXTURE is slightly lighter and thinner than the Detox and Purify masks, easier to spread
SMELLS WONDERFUL with the lemon essential oil
SOFTENING is trueeee!
One really plus point is that my skincare products got absorbed really fast and well after using this mask 😄
Skin definitely doesn't feel tight after using it
CONS
Sadly I find it NOT AS HYDRATING as I hope it would be. Nevertheless, its not drying too. I had it on for about 8 minutes but I still don't see cracks.
Overall, this is a so-so hydration mask. I would rate it 7/10 as it does not really give me OOMMPHH - hydrating effect that I expected. Anyhow, this is a multi-tasking mask that cleanses and moisturises skin at ONE-GO. For people who is lazy to do layering (means apply deep cleansing mask, then wash off, then apply hydrating mask - such looooong ritual), this is the mask for you.
The above is my humble review of the mask (not sponsored by any party) and result may vary from mine and yours. Do carry out patch tests beforehand at the back of your ear if you are afraid that it might cause skin irritations. ENJOY!
