LUSH Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

Hello everyone!
It's been a few weeks since my last post so I figured this should be about something I really love...

LUSH Oatifix Fresh Face Mask - $5.95 2.1 oz.
Soothing oat and banana mask for dry skin.

Few things are more soothing than a big bowl or banana porridge, all sweet and squishy. Now, did you know the same is true for your skin? sensitive, dry or irritated faces love Oatifix for its calming oat infusion, softening freshly mashed banana and ground almonds to slough away flaky skin.

I have been using this mask for quite some time now. This is my 4th container and I love it as much as I did the first time I tried it. I have dry skin and I am always on the look out for any product that is moisturizing, and won't dry out my skin. I use this mask at least 3 times a week, the product itself only has a shelf life of 3-4 weeks since the ingredients contain bananas and oats. When you open the container the mask looks a little iffy- it's thick and chunky, basically it looks like porridge or oatmeal. To me the mask smells like a mixture of bananas with a slight hint of Play-Doh, yes- I said Play-Doh. Maybe it's just my nose. The texture is thick yet applies easily. I wear this mask for 10 minutes, LUSH recommends wearing the masks for 5-10 minutes. If you leave this mask on for longer than the recommended time it hardens and you really have to work at washing it off. I really hate when I get it in my hair.

The oats gently exfoliate your skin and leave your face super soft, and moisturized. I definitely think this mask is an inexpensive little treat for the skin and afterwards I feel like I have had a mini facial. This mask was a major staple in my collection during the winters when my skin was extra dry and flaky. For the last few weeks due to stress I have gotten lazy and stopped caring for my skin the correct way. My skin right now is dull and dry, I bought this mask again and expect my skin to be back to normal very soon. I love how simple this mask is yet for me delivers a great effect on my skin. All of the LUSH Fresh Face Masks need to be stored in the fridge so let everyone in your home know that these are not edible.

How to use:

• Cleanse skin
• Massage Serum bar onto your face (I use the Full Of Grace bar)
• Smooth fresh face mask over your skin
• Don't let it completely dry out, wash off before it gets too hard. (Keep out of hair!)
• Tone and moisturize like normal. (I use Eau Roma Water afterwards)

This method is the way LUSH recommends when applying a fresh face mask. I have tried using the mask both with the LUSH method and just by itself. I have to admit the LUSH method is the best and I only use this method now. For some reason that little serum bar makes such a big difference. After I wash off the mask I spray my face with a little Eau Roma Water, it leaves my skin feeling so wonderful and perfect I wold never do it differently. All Fresh Face Masks must be purchased at a LUSH store they are not available online.
