What is it?

A clay powder cleansing mask to rejuvenate and purify the skin.

Organic coffee and cocoa are anti-inflammatory, de-toxifying and full of antioxidants.

How to use

Mix a small amount of the clay mask with floral water (I also like to add a drop of Terre Verdi's FranChouliPom serum into the mix) and mix to a soft paste. The end results looks like a creamy but thick Cafe Latte!

Ingredients

Moroccan lava (Ghassoul) clay, kaolin clay, zea mays (corn) starch*, coffea arabica seed (ground coffee)*, theobroma cacao (cocoa) powder*, tocopherol (vitamin E), citrus sinensis (sweet orange) peel oil*, citral**, limonene**, linalool**
* denotes organic ingredient
** occurring naturally in essential oils

Thoughts

First thought? Oh wow! That scent! This is beyond doubt the most deliciously scented face mask I have EVER had the joy to try! It's like a big slab of chocolate orange cake washed down with a Cafe Latte! I would, quite frankly, be happy to sit and sniff from the jar all day long.

Second thoughts - phew! This is easy to mix. I've previously mentioned my inability to be an expert face mask mixer - I either make them too runny or they come out too lumpy. So I was relieved that this was one of the easier clay powder masks that I've mixed. On my very first use, I did make far too much up though, but this was okay as I extended the mask down to my neck and decollete for a luxurious and pampering masking session.

I do love a multi-tasking product and the Orange Coffee Cleansing Mask not only gives you a thorough, detoxifying skin cleanse but it also works like a mini face lift.

I was very pleasantly surprised just how great my skin looked after masking - so much so that I was happy to go completely bare-faced for the day as my skin looked far healthier without makeup thanks to the results from the mask.

The brightness of my skin and a very satisfying even skin tone is the first thing I noticed. Despite the thorough cleansing, my skin wasn't at all red or irritated. My skin felt incredibly smooth and tightened. But the natural glow was the best result. Adding a drop of Terre Verdi's FranChouliPom serum into the mask mixture gives my skin an extra moisturising and hydrating boost plus gives me the extra glow that I'm always aiming for.

I would definitely recommend this as a morning mask (if you have the time) as it's a beautiful way to start the day, giving me a skin-confidence that I generally lack.

This mask scores a confident 10/10 on the Joy Scale!
