Hello again,
Over the past few weeks I’ve been using this new minty face mask from Lush. The shop assistant in White City told me that this is their best mask for cleaning your pores and preventing breakouts. I find that if I don’t take care of my skin and keep it clean I get acne really easily, so of course I was willing to give it a go. You can use it on your body as well as your face but I feel like this small tub would run out quickly if I used it for my face AND body.
The mask reminds me of a really strong pack of chewing gum; It’s probably not for everyone though as it’s quite a strong, clean scent. I read that the peppermint ingredient actually stimulates the blood cells in your face which makes your skin look brighter, which is definitely something that my skin needs. As soon as autumn arrives and my tan fades, my skin feels really dull and dry so I’d say I’m definitely in need of some brightening up at the minute.
One of the things I love about this mask is the fact that it doesn’t dry like most face masks. Even after having it on my face for 15 minutes, the mask is still wet and sticky. Sometimes if I use face masks that dry quickly and feel tight on my face then my skin looks red and irritated afterwards. I don’t think there’s any point in investing in a product that’s just doing to dry out your face. This is by far the most gentle but still the most effective face mask I’ve ever used. I even love it more than my Lush Cup O’ Coffee mask, which I didn’t think would ever happen.
At the minute I don’t actually have any spots, but I do have a little bit of scarring on one of my cheeks from having them previously. I’ve found that since I’ve been using this face mask, the redness on my cheeks is slowly disappearing. Another thing that I love about it is I only have to use it once or twice a week for it to make a difference to my skin. I usually apply it after I’ve been to the gym because my skin’s always a sweaty mess. Sometimes, just washing your face isn’t enough.
I’ll definitely buy this again once I’ve finished it, especially seeing as it was only a little over £6. Compared to other face masks I’ve tried and heart about, it definitely seems like the best value for money.
Thanks for reading!

That mask sounds interesting! I haven’t been to lush in a few years, I need to go back and pick up a mask.
It’s one of the best masks I’ve tried – it’s very refreshing 🙂
I love Lush Products! I will have to get this mask to try for myself now!!!
So do I! I’m so glad I found it 🙂
The redness has been disappearing? I totally want to try it now! I have such discoloration in my skin and redness is my biggest issue!
A good mask should make your skin feel fantastic and rejuvenated. Im sounds like you found a good one!
I love Lush and their face masks! I haven’t tried this one yet but it sounds great! Will definitely have to check it out! Great review!
I adore this face mask from Lush. I always use this if my skin is having a bad breakout. xx
I love masks! I’m happy to hear it didn’t dry out your face — I agree that it is NOT what we want. I’m going to try this one when I visit the LUSH store next time.
This looks like a great product and I love lush as a brand too so must check it out!
I love great beauty products. This sounds like a wonderful mask and something that I could use, my face is struggling in this winter weather!
I know how you feel! My skin is so dry and is breaking out so much at the minute
I love skin care products. I’ve never used Lush products which kind of amazes me especially when so many people I know have used it.
I love lush products! This mask does sound intense, my skin is super sensitive so it may not be the best for me. But I love Lush so I’m going to look into it! I didn’t even realize they had face masks!
Lush has great products. I couldn’t even focus on the review, though, because of that super cute puppy in your IG feed.
I’d love to try this brand. It combined my love for masks and peppermint and I think that’s good enough.
I’m not usually a fan of mint but this smells amazing!
I’m a big fan of Lush products already and I look be giving them as gifts. I think my sister in law would love this. Thank you for such an in depth review. I look forward to purchasing it for her.
I always love how my face feels after I have a mask on. I would love to give this one a try.
I used to use this mask all the time! The cooling sensation from the mint is so soothing. Lately my favorite has been ‘The Sacred Truth’ mask from lush I did a review here https://slaywithamyrae.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/lush-the-sacred-truth-face-mask-sensitive-skin/
It’s amazing!
Thanks! I’ll have a look 🙂
I have been on the lookout for a new face mask. This one looks like it would definitely be worth a try.
