Lush Rosy Cheeks Fresh Face Mask Review

Unless you're allergic to any of the ingredients or hate the smell of roses, then there is no reason you shouldn't go and try this! It is suitable for all skin types and is hands down one of the best clay masks I've ever used.

I was lucky enough to be given a sample of this by my gorgeous friend, she always spoils me with Lush samples and she had nothing but good things to say about this mask. I was reluctant at first because I'm not always the biggest fan of rose scents, that and the fact that this is aimed at calming irritated skins I didn't think I would like it very much or see any benefits. Oh, I was very mistaken.

Scent: This is the most beautiful rose fragrance I have ever smelt, it is like a mix of fresh blooms and turkish delight, it's quite strong but it does dull down as the mask sets. I really do like it even though I am picky about scents.

Product: With glycerine being the first ingredient in this lovely concoction, it makes the mask very smooth and silky feeling, it also makes it a little harder to spread over the skin since it's quite thick, I find using a stiff paddle brush works well for application. Once on it takes around 10-15 minutes to completely dry down. What I love about this mask, and what makes it appropriate for all skin types, is that as it sets it doesn't pull at the skin and create that awful tugging feeling. It is so gentle and soft that you don't have to worry about your skin drying out even more because the clay properties are so mild. To remove I like to wet a wash cloth with warm water and hold it on the skin to reactivate the clay, this way it becomes easy to wash away without pulling at the skin too much. I find this mask rinses cleanly and I don't have to go over my skin too many times to get rid of residue. Afterwards my skin is left incredibly soft, smooth and has a subtle glow. I feel fresh, refined and soothed, it's an outstanding mask and I wish I could purchase this in a giant squeeze tube.

Overall: Love it. It's amazing and I will definitely look at picking it up. The only thing that puts me off is that it's a fresh face mask and expires rather quickly, this means a lot can go to waste if you don't use this weekly/more than weekly.
