L'Oréal Pure Clay Glow Mask Review.

 There has been a lot of online buzz about the L'Oréal Pure Clay Mask range lately so I decided to give one a try. In the past I have tried the black charcoal masks that give you clearer skin and tighter pores whilst holding your face in a vice like grip (Beauty is pain!). This time I wanted to go for the glow mask to pep up my lacklustre January skin. This one claims to brighten and exfoliate using "a powerful blend of three pure clays" plus red algae. Let's take a look at what's in it;

1.  Koalin: This absorbent substance clears pores and dirt and oil on the skin while the thickness of the substance acts as a binding agent, holding all the ingredients together.
2. Montmorillonite: This healing clay was discovered in France (in Montmorillon, get it?) and is included in the mask to eliminate imperfections.
3. Ghassoul: Has antimicrobial properties which helps to clear the skins surface, improving the smoothness and tone of the skin.
4. Red Algae: Included in this mask for it's brightening properties, however this seaweed is also known for retaining moisture. 

 

As the beautiful picture above will show, the mask is a terracotta colour...or a nice everyday foundation colour as some people like to call it (sorry I couldn't help myself). The mask has a creamy beaded texture that doesn't dry down completely, making it very comfortable to wear on the skin. I think the exfoliation part of this mask is in the application and removal, you can feel the soft beads being worked into the skin. Because it's so creamy it comes off really easily with a warm face cloth although I would suggest giving your face an extra rinse with just water to get rid of the excess beads.

 

 Overall I'm really impressed with this mask. Having used it a few times it has left me with smooth skin and helped me to get rid of the tired grey hue that all the chocolate over Christmas resulted in. It's definitely going to continue to be part of my regular skincare routine.

 

The Pure clay masks can be used together (a patchwork quilt for your face) or separately and this one lives up the hype. At the time of writing this, all three masks, the other two being a purity mask and a detox mask, are on deal in Boots for just €8 each,
