Mudd Mask Borghese Fango Active Mud for Body

Advantages: SKIN IS LEFT POLISHED, AND PAMPERED
Disadvantages: PRICEY, BUT DOES LAST AGES

Every once in a while I am fortunate enough to get some time to myself. This “me” time is very important to me and I look forward to being able to pamper and preen myself to as near perfection as I can get. This Christmas saw me opening a huge basket laden with beauty products with pampering in mind, and amongst the mountain of goodies was a jar of Marcella Borghese Fango Active Mud. Now, this has been on my wish list for so long I had almost forgotten ...
...in Cyprus of all places when I was there for my wedding. I had booked myself and my bridesmaids in for a spa afternoon where we could relax ready for the impending big day. We were covered from head to toe in this mask and since then I have made it my mission to get my own supply, hinting at everyone at every given opportunity that I would love to receive a jar all to myself. It seems someone had been listening, and it was my lovely husband who ... Read review

Advantages: Really draws all impurities to the top, classy packaging
Disadvantages: Can bring spots out as it's clearing your skin. Last bit of jar had dried up.

Mud masks have always been a firm favourite of mine when it comes to skin care. They give me few minutes to relax while they’re working their magic, pulling all those nasty impurities to the surface, and then once they’re off, a lovely fresh feeling of newness. When I first started out using mud masks my friend and I used to buy ‘Mudd’ masks from Boots at £1 a sachet. They’re quite good for figuring out what you like in a mask, whether you like ...
...other things, but at £1 a time it ends up more expensive than buying a larger packet or a jar. Once I’d figured out what I liked my mum made the final decision by buying me a heavy jar of Princess Marcella Borghese Active Fango Mud one Christmas. ACTIVE FANGO MUD Although you can buy this in smaller plastic tubes the version my mum bought me was very large and presented in a heavy glass rubber-sealed hinge jar (looks really classy in the bathroom!) ...

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 ...
...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 to test some in a department store first. This mud is very strongly scented (like many products in the Borghese ... 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 ...
...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 pores etc, this product will leave you with the cleanest, softest skin, so clean that you can see the difference ... Read review
