The Mask

Advantages: Easy to use, lasts a long time, cleanses and purifies your skin.
Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...be allergic to the stuff so wiped it off quickly but since then I have been informed that this is a sign that it's actually working. The recommended time for keeping the mask on is 5 - 10 minutes and as long as you avoid a mirror or young children, for fear of scaring the pants off them, the 10 minutes is fine. The Body Shop state that this cream does not dry on your face, but this hasn't been my experience of it. It didn't dry all over but certain patches certainly did become dry. Not I hasten to add an uncomfortable dry feeling so that you can't actually move your face or speak, as has been the experience I have had with some face masks! To wash it off isn't as easy as applying it. The parts that had dried needed a little bit more rubbing, not harsh rubbing though and I tend to use a flannel now to get it off but be warned...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

Tea Tree Oil Face Mask: Terrific!!

Advantages: works wonders!!
Disadvantages: can't think of any!!

...My sister bought me The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil Face Mask for Christmas, and I admit that it was one of the most satisfying beauty products that I recieved this year. The 100ml pot, a squashed cylindrical shape, is peppermint green in colour with a black lid. The instructions for use can be found on the underside of the pot. This clay-based face mask is designed for normal, oily or blemished skin. I have found that it works really well on my face because my skin is not the same all over, meaning that some parts are oily, another has blemishes, and the rest is normal. An improvement in my overall complexion can be seen immediately after I remove the mask. The mask is easy to use (probably very similar to most face masks.) Just smooth onto your face and neck after cleansing (avoiding lip and eye area) and leave it for ten...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

Advantages: Refreshing and cheaper than a primer.
Disadvantages: None really.

...I bought this product because I was initially looking for a primer to go under my make up to keep my my make up in place all day. When I was at university I was on a Performing Arts course with a lot of practical classes and there was also a lot of time spent in hot and stuffy lecture theatres and classrooms. I found that by the afternoon all my make up had come off except my mascara and I thought it looked scruffy. So I went out to find a primer to keep my make up in place. The only ones I could really find were quite expensive so I went and asked in The Body Shop to ask if they did a primer and the lady said she didn't think so. Later that evening I was double checking on The Body Shop website when I came across this product and I noticed it said 'excellent for fixing make up'. So the next day I went out and bought some. I also noticed...

Review of The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask

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...

Review of The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask

Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask

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

...I received a 20ml sample of this in a set as a gift and have saved it until my usual mask ran out. I thought it was about time I gave it a try and here's what I thought of it. The mask reminds me of a very thick night cream that doesn't absorb very easily. It's light pink in colour and smells slightly of roses. Putting it on is straight forward enough - I just smeared it on like any other face mask. There are no special precautions such as avoiding eyes written on my sample pot but I decided it was probably best to avoid the area directly under my eyes. When I first applied the mask it all got absorbed very quickly so I decided I'd better apply some more. When the mask was on it made my skin feel very strange indeed. Almost as if it was chilling my skin and there was a slightly unpleasant tingling sensation which had me worried...

Review of The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink In Moisture Mask

Warming Mineral Mask by Body Shop

Advantages: Warms really well good for all skin types
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....

Review of The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask

Body Shop vitamin c face polish-USE SPARINGLY!!

Advantages: Smells great, exfoliates well, tube will last ages
Disadvantages: Not great for sensitive skin

...I bought this exfoliator as I was going away to work in the Alps for a ski season where it would be mius degrees, harsh winds and my skin would take a battering! I needed a good face scrub to get rid of dead skin so my moisturiser was working at its best. Ive used body shop products for years and find their vitamin c face mask excellent, so decided to try this. Fisrt time i used it I loved the thick texture of lots of small particles and the fab zesty scent! It also left my skin quite soft and my moisturiser went in really well afterwards. I have sensitive skin and got no rash or reaction! However, the second time I used it I used more of the product and found that it felt like it was scratching my skin and my cheeks were quite pink afterwards and felt dryer than before I started. I think the concentration of exfoliating...

Review of The Body Shop Vitamin C Cleansing Face Polish

The Queen of face masks!

Advantages: Low price + large tube + gorgeous mint scent + really works!
Disadvantages: Sulfur smell - flip-top would be better - possibly update the design

...star removed partly because of the Sulphur smell. INGREDIENTS Purified Water Kaolin Bentonite Glycerin Zinc Oxide Propylene Glycol Sulfur Chromium Oxide Greens Fragrance Phenoxyethanol Methylparaben TIPS ON USING MINT JULEP MASK To use this, I cleanse my face thoroughly then pat it with a towel, but not so that my face is completely dry. I find it easier to apply the mask if my skin is a little damp to start with. I layer it on, let it dry for about 30-40 minutes, before gently rinsing/scrubbing it off. It leaves your skin perfectly primer for a moisturiser or night cream. PRICE The price is great and Julep Mask is good value for money. I will repurchase this at some point, despite the egg smell it omits. It works too well to not repurchase it. AVAILABILITY Some people have said that they cannot find this item...

Review of The Body Shop (Shop)

Recommended body mask

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...
