I received this in a sample size - Oasis are insanely generous with their sample sizes, and each one really allows you to figure out how you feel about a product before you pay out the (admittedly high) sum to purchase.
The sample lasted me for around 5 masks, plus a couple of spot treatments. I actually prefer using it for spots personally.
One thing I love about Oasis Beauty Fruit Smoothie is the very thin layer of product you can get away with applying. Rather than the caked on, gungy look thicker masks leave you with, this just makes your face look like it has a brown tinge to it. As this doesn't dry and flake of either it's very easy to wear for the 20-30 recommended minutes. As you wash it off it turns into a lovely exfoliant. If you were short on space when travelling etc then this would be a great 3 in one (spot treatment, mask and exfoliant) to consider packing.
The sample came in a cute purple pottle that I've reappropriated to take foundation to the gym. It's a vaguely fleshy dark pink colour with a fruity scent and very small granules.
My preferred method is to clean my face, pop it onto spots and leave it (however long you feel like, I fell asleep in it last week) to draw out and heal the spots. As a mask, I've used better. As an exfoliant only, it's pretty pricey. But as a spot treatment it's effective.
Tried it, liked it, would certainly recommend it - but probably won't repurchase as for $50 it's just not special enough for me. Thanks Oasis for the freebie though - really pleased to have given it a try, and definitely know of friends who like it so will have to keep that in mind when I'm Christmas shopping!
I was given a full size of this beautiful scrub and mask in one product by my cousin who is a huge fan of any NZ natural or organic skin care products.
I can feel the difference to my skin straight after I used it the first time! My skin was baby soft and so very smooth. The jojoba beads are very fine so its not too harsh for my face.
I have tried using it as a mask and scrub my skin after the mask have sit on my skin for 20 - 30 minutes before rinsing off. I quite like that it is a 2 in one product for days I just want to give my skin special treatment.
Tips: When using it as a mask, apply a generous amount of product, make sure you moisten your skin before scrubbing and then finally rinsing the product off so it isn't too harsh on your skin.
