Advantages: Moisturises. Smells nice.
Disadvantages: Tingles. Sticky.

...the tingling. But no, my skin looked fine. My skin felt comfortable and definatley smoother and more moisturised, especially on my cheeks, which strangely is where it tingled the most - perhaps this is connected. I don't think I'll be using this again once my sample pot has run out though as I have used other similar products which have a much better moisturising effect. It does the job, but knowing Body Shop prices I don't think it's really worth it.... Read review

Disadvantages: Slighly expensive

...hand etc before applying to the skin*** and also do a sensitivity test before using all over. I also use this product on the tops of my arms and chest to give a deep cleanse to those areas that seem to be neglected. The mask is available through the Body Shop and the Body Shop at Home Consultants, comes in a tube of 100ml and contains all natural ingredients. The packaging is recyclable and supports the body shops five core values. Slightly expensive at £7.00 however is a fab product and works great on all skin types, lasts quite a long time because I would only suggest using it once a week and you only need to apply a small amount to the areas that your want cleanse....

Advantages: Smells nice, warming feels nice, leaves skin smooth.
Disadvantages: Difficult to remove.

...I noticed this in the Body Shop (which is actually quite hard as the packaging is really plain (see picture!) and thought I'd give it a go. It's for all skin types and contains no added colour of fragrance so I thought this would be good for my skin which can occassionaly react badly to facemasks. I'd try a tester of this before purchasing as it gets warm which may not suit all skins. Before using the mask I washed my face with water (you have to wet your face for the mask to react with the water and become warm) and then I just smeared it on. It says to apply a generous layer but the mask is quite thick so I'd say it is a bit hard to cover your face without using a generous layer so I don't know why they put that! The mask smells lovely, and as it sits on your face it reacts with the water and you can feel the warming... Read review

Advantages: Great value, effective skin cleanser and toner, easy to use, first-class.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...The Body Shop's Blue Corn Deep Cleansing Mask is a remarkable product. It's still great value for money even though it's now retailing at £7.50 per pot, it's easy to use, smells nice and, best of all, it really does make a difference to the way your skin looks. Well, it does to mine at any rate. If you are one of the multitude of people who haven't retained that flawless velvet skin of your youth as you've moved into adulthood, the blue corn cleanser is probably a godsend. I tend to have quite visible pores around the central area of my face - forehead, nose, chin; and by using the cleanser just once a day first thing in the morning, my skin looks clearer, healthier and (don't ask me how) the pores are about 95% less visible. I usually just use it as a straightforward substitute for soap or facial cleanser and give it about... Read review

Advantages: Clean, soft, healthy skin
Disadvantages: none

...Not one for a gimic the plain packaging actually encouraged me to buy the product. As a firm believer of "it's what's inside that's important", I wasn't let down by this face mask at all. The tube is pale greeny-grey with Green writing on it and now has a clear plastic cap (previously the cap was an opaque dark green which I preferred as it didn't show any mess but never mind!) and the standard size is 100ml. This amount easily lasts me 2 or 3 months with 2 applications a week, and therefore at around £6 this product is great value for money at around 25pence per application. The main advertised ingredient is Kaolin Clay to deep cleanse the skin and it seems to do exactly what it says on the tin, well tube! I find my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and can see the dirt being lifted from my skin! The product says suitable... Read review

Advantages: Smoother, softer skin, Pot lasts for at least 5-6 weeks.
Disadvantages: Some might think it's pricey!

The body shop are against animal testing, support community trade, activate self esteem, defend human rights, and protect our planet. Focusing on the Sculpting Body Mask . . . ***How did I hear about this product?*** I was reading a magazine (more magazine) and it mentioned the mask in there to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and to get smoother more toned looking skin. It sounded good and different so I thought I’d give it a try. ***What does it do?*** The Sculpting Body mask visibly improves the tone and texture of the skin. An effective mask that dries to stimulate circulation, tackle toxins, and encourage lymph drainage to visibly improve the texture of the skin. ***What’s in it?*** China Clay - To draw out impurities...

Advantages: Skin felt smooth and texture was improved
Disadvantages: Don't think the tub will last long - will depend on what you use it for

...Amazing mask - have only used it twice and am already seeing results. Originally bought this mask for my boobs, without even thinking that I could use it on my legs! Instructions on the mask advised to massage mask in, then clingfilm and wrap for 0.5 hour. I found the mask to be very easy to apply. It has granules in it, which as you massage the mask into your skin, gives it a sort of mini exfoliation as well. The first time I clingfilmed my body, I asked my partner to do it for me which was rather helpful as you are able to get the wrap around quite snugly. When I tried to wrap the clingfilm myself the second time around, I struggled a little with the process. I recall there are spa treatments out there that wrap a person's body and apparently clients lose inches doing this. Assuming this was a similar process, I would... Read review

Advantages: It really does what it says and should suit anyone's skin type!
Disadvantages: Sometimes difficult to wash off.

...I am a big fan of a lot of body shop products, and what with it being my birthday last month, I decided to go into the body shop and claim my free birthday gift using my body shop card. I browsed the shelves and came across the Honey and Oat 3-in-1 Scrub Mask and knew that I wanted to try it out! Upon opening the 3.6oz (100ml) cylindrical tub it was evident that this was a product really made of natural materials: it smelled of oats and honey and because of the oat grains in the product the texture was not smooth like a lot of face masks are, but real and hearty. The best way to use this face mask is to cleanse the skin and pat dry before use. Apply a generous layer of the face mask to the face (as with all masks, avoiding the eye and lip areas). Leave it on for five to ten minutes (during this time the face mask will not dry... Read review

Advantages: Leaves your skin seriously cleansed, smooth and bright, interesting product.
Disadvantages: Pretty strong, not suitable for sensitive or even non-greasy skin

...your daily cleanser, it can be a useful idea to use a face mask, which is designed to sit on your face (oooh Matron!) for a while and draw out impurities and deep-down dirt and grease that's built up over the week, usually using some absorbent ingredient such as clay to "suck" it out (Ooo-err! Sorry I've been watching too many Carry On films today!). These are great for removing deep-down muck, but they don't do a lot to get rid of grease-clogged old skin cells, which sometimes need a bit more persuasion to depart from your skin. This is where an exfoliant comes in. Both of these products should be used 1 to 2 times a week as an extra "treat" or "service" for your skin. If your skin is as greasy as mine, then this product is one of the more interesting products in the Body Shop range, a survivor from the earlier age of The Frizzy Haired... Read review

Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...out at the top of the 't'. The main body of the tub is a peppermint colour which matches the colour of the cream. It has directions for use on the side. ~ Main ingredients ~ Glycerin ~ an effective moisturiser that helps improve softness and maximise hydration. Kaolin clay ~ This is said to control shine. It deeply cleanses, drawing out any impurities from the skin. It also helps restore the skin's natural balance. Tea tree oil ~ this has natural, purifying anti-bacterial properties which helps soothe blemised skin. ~ What does the B.Shop say about this mask?~ This is a clay based mask which deep cleanses to encourage clearer skin. It's a deep cleansing mask that helps refine the skin and combat blemishes, while absorbing excess oils, leaving the skin feeling clean, refreshed and revived. ~ So does it do all of this...
