The Body Shop Blue Corn Scrub Mask

I’m a complete Body Shop addict and have used most of their products at some time or another, so at Christmas I was thrilled to receive a product I had not yet tried; the Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Mask. The usual price of this mask is £8 for 100ml, but the Body Shop quite often run offers where it can be purchased for around £5. The mask comes in a round plastic pot which is a light blue colour, with a screw off lid that is very easy to open and close. The mask contains blue corn powder to exfoliate, Kaolin clay to draw out impurities, and corn oil to moisturise, leaving skin feeling ... more

We would all like to have glowing complexions, free from blemishes and spots wouldn’t we? Ell, if you try this scrub/mask from the Body Shop, you may well be part way there.

Kaolin clay digs the dirt and strips excess oils while blue corn powder gently exfoliates’. As with the majority of products in the body shop, the packaging is pretty basic – a plain blue tub with the appropriate labelling to tell you what’s inside. It also includes ... more

Well, I'm sorry, but I did have to make up for my last op, an scathing attack on poor old Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Scrub, and make it up to my favourite skin supplies destination!

As you may remember if you're a regular reader of my wonderful skin-care ops (and if you aren't, why not? What awful skin you must have!) I have skin which could only be accurately described as one large ... more

okay, this mask is for problem skin. what it does is open your pores, give them a good scrubbing, and then moisturise your skin! You can really feel the sting of the product opening your pores, and i think a splash of cool water after rinsing it off would be a good idea, just to close them again. It smells pleasant, and looks fine. scrub, and moisturiser in one. I feel that it does help to purify your skin, and even though it is full of natural ingredients, you soon find out that natural can be strong too. the clay in it draws out impurities, and after use it your skin feels very clean and ... more
