Body shop Himalayan charcoal mask

3

I’ve purchased from body shop before but have never gotten around to purchasing this. Honestly, it burned, and I don’t have sensitive skin at all, im prone to acne but my skin is definitely not sensitive. The burning sensation was quite strong and lasted until the mask had dried, ( I left it on to give it the benefit of the doubt and also read that it made other people’s skin burn too!) it did leave my skin feeling soft after but im unsure whether the burning sensation was worth it, it also smells quite strongly!

After using clay mask for the first time back when my friend offered me to try hers, I become a big fan of clay masks. I bought one tube of the same face mask for myself wanting to take some really good care of my face. But as time pass, I gave up. It was too troublesome to wait till the mask dry and washing it off takes forever.

The mask when it is half dry. Gray when it is wet, white when it is dry!

I chanced upon The Body Shop’s Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask and fell in love with it at the first try. On applying the mask, it dries up really fast (about 1 - 3 minutes, way faster than the one I’ve used before) and gives off a cooling effect on the skin which makes it extremely suitable for inflamed acnes. It helps to calm down the inflammation and tone down the redness of the acnes (experienced this myself!). I believe it's also partly because the mask helps release impurities and toxin!

*Do note that because it is quite cooling, remember to not spread the mask too close to your eyes!

Between 5-10 minutes, the mask tightens up the skin while it dries up. Actually I wasn’t expecting the mask to tighten my skin so much that I couldn’t even move my mouth. But 10 minutes passed real quick so it was time for me to wash the mask off.

Face after using the mask!

I used room temperature water to wash my face and it took slightly more effort in washing compare to a facial wash but it didn’t take long for me to wash it all off. I believe it could have been faster to wash it off with warm water (but too troublesome for me so I didn’t bother)!

To my surprise, my big pores looked smaller than they usually do! And my face really do look like it has a healthier glow in it. I have been searching high and low for a product that helps refine and shrink pores and this is definitely the one! Not exaggerating at all. The fact that it helps soothe acnes, reduce visibility of the pores and gives the face a glow definitely makes it a must have clay mask! Because I also love that it has a cooling effect on the skin.

Would certainly recommend this product to anyone especially does who struggle with inflamed pimples, because I know how painful that is too! (don’t expect it to heal your pimples completely just in 5-10 minutes.)

What are the benefits of the Body Shop charcoal mask?

Charcoal face washes and face masks are great at giving you a really thorough clean and help pores feel unclogged. Just what you need after a productive day out and about in all conditions. They have the ability to bind to grime and gently help persuade dead skin cells that their time is done.

Do charcoal masks actually work?

You can expect the masks to help unclog pores and absorb environmental pollutants, oil, and dirt from the skin, Debra Jaliman, MD, a dermatologist in New York City, told Health. Charcoal is especially good for people with acne and blackheads as it can help reduce excess oil, said Dr. Jaliman.
