Borghese Active Mud Face & Body

Advantages: Good cleansing, stimulating mask, big pot lasts ages
Disadvantages: A lot to pay in one go, strong smell and potent essential oils, shouldn't be used if pregnant.

...This has been listed in the body section, but it's also a wonderful rejuvenating mask for your face. Yes, the recommended price of £33.00 is a lot of money. But it's a really big pot, which will last for ages, especially if you're only using it as a face mask. The makers tell you to pack the mask on thickly, but I don't think you need a really thick layer, just fairly even coverage. Some single 10g sachets of face packs in the shops cost more than £1, making a 500g pot of Fango mud good value, with its dinky re-useable jar, and a sponge applicator. And there are bargains, if you look around. I bought some from a House of Fraser store, being sold off cheaply in a gift box with lots of other Borghese goodies. If you're buying Fango on the net, at the time of writing, Island-trading.com sells a pot for £21.00. But you might want... Read review

Advantages: MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE HAD A FACIAL
Disadvantages: ONLY ONE - EXPENSIVE BUT EXCELLENT VALUE

...Suprisingly, I was introduced to Borghese Mud mask through my husband! A couple of months before we got married, as we both suffer from oily skin and break-outs, we were considering a course of facials to prevent us both having spots on our wedding photos. On a trip to Harvey Nichols my future husband returned home with a colossal jar of gloopy green mud that had set him back £50. I thought he was completely bonkers until I tried it. Having had facials before, this made my skin feel exactly like I had just had a treatment. We used it every week before our wedding, and not only did we both have great skin, the jar was still going strong 3 years later! We bought another jar that has lasted 2 years and is about to finish. And when that is gone we will definitely buy another. Put it like this. If you have oily skin and are pone to blocked... Read review
