LUSH’s Cranberry Festive Face Mask ($8.95) is a limited
edition mask for the holidays that is made fresh in store. This mask’s primary
use is to deep clean, soften and nourish skin.
Ingredients include cranberries, tofu, fennel seed, fresh
fennel, argan oil and rose clay just to name some. During the LUSH event, there
was a mask station where the ingredients were blended before our eyes,
resulting in a creamy yet chunky consistency. The rose clay gives the mask it’s
colour while the tofu gives the mask it’s texture. Other ingredients are
combined to provide moisture and to detox the skin. Since the ingredients are
so fresh, this mask is to be refrigerated when not in use.
Being a pink nude, this mask looks terrifying on. Both my
mother and boyfriend thought I was molting and I had to quickly explain that it
was just a mask. The mask itself is easy to apply and although it’s quite
thick, it was easy to spread onto the skin. One thing I didn’t like was that
something in the mask was always falling off my face (I believe it was the
cranberry skins) so I tried my hardest to not move my face while I was waiting
for it to work its magic. Although it was chunky, it does not provide any
exfoliating properties (not that it claim to, but I thought maybe It would). I
usually leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with it still wet on
my skin. The tendency to flake made it a pre-shower mask for me.
Would I consider it deep cleansing? Probably not, but it was
very moisturizing and it felt like heaven when the cold tofu touched my skin. It’s
definitely a great mask for days when you need to rehydrate your skin,
especially with the cold and dry winter weather.
Let's be friends!
