I had purchased the sample pack which has 2 samples of the No time to shine mud mask, but after trying the first sample, I wont be doing the second one. At the end of last year I had heard of this company from a friend on Instagram, the company had sent me a few things to try and since they were great products I went into Farmers to repurchase more to try. This would have to be the most uncomfortable mud mask I had ever tried.
When you open up the sample there is a generous amount of product, the smell from the mask is quite overpowering but not in a good way. It smells like rotten feijoas, after I push aside that it is a little smelly, I apply this to my face and my neck. On the back it has instructions to leave it on for 10-15 and that a tingly sensation is normal, so the waiting game begins.
After a minute I can feel this hot feeling, I think this is ok so I continue to wait it out. A minute after that, all of the pimples I have feel like they're burning, ouch it is so uncomfortable but I still try to wait this out. Going on 5 minutes I couldnt handle the burning sensation that was all over my face, as soon as I begun washing it off it was such a relief to remove it from my face. My pain tolerance is high and I normally get a thrill out of things that come with a bit of pain, but this mask was horrible. After I washed the mask all off I was left with a red face, and the pimples I had looked very inflamed. I could only imagine how much damage this mask could've done if I had left it on for the whole 15 minutes.
I wont repurchase this, I have binned the second sample.
This was too harsh for my skin. I have combination skin that is pretty sensitive, reactive and very acne-prone. I thought that this would be a good mask to deal with breakouts and excess oil, but unfortunately it was too strong/drying for my skin and left it very red and irritated after I rinsed it off. I would only recommend this mask if your skin is very resilient and not sensitive at all, and then it could be a great treatment.
