Oasis Beauty Fruit Smoothie Exfoliating Mask Review

I was so excited to try out this product and received it as a free sample from oasisbeauty.co.nz. The free sample has enough for 1-2 face masks, depending on how heavily you choose to apply it. I'll admit that I was expecting this product to be something of a miracle but I was disappointed with the actual results.

I followed the tips on the website and used this as a scrub/exfoliant, massaging it into my skin, and then let it set as a mask. I left the mask on for 20 minutes, as that's typically how long I leave masks on for.

When I took off the mask my skin did feel lovely, it was much smoother and softer than before I used the mask. However, my skin didn't noticeably seem to 'glowing' or otherwise much improved. After using my usual face scrub my skin looks fresh and clean, much better than before I used it. But with this, my skin looked pretty much the same. This mask made very minor improvements to my skin that weren't really noticeable.

I was so expecting to love Fruit Smoothie but my results were rather disappointing. I think I'll stick to my regular exfoliant for now.

I was very excited to receive this product from Oasis as a sample to have a 'try before I buy'. From the reviews on here, the product seems great but when I got it in the post, I was a little disappointed. They give you a very generous amount which went nicely on my face, but I didn't find the product to be much of a mask. After rubbing it in, I discovered I was also just rubbing the clay off, and after letting it set, it was a mission to get the rest off my face even after using the recommended products (I had a sample of their Milk Cleanser which I used). I liked that it was natural and cruelty free, but if I wanted a cleaner looking face, I would have to use my chemical scrub mask.

I really do like this brand - after all I've purchased their entire skincare range but I do not like this product at all.

I have very sensitive skin and was excited to try out this face mask/exfoliation scrub as I find this skincare line to be nice, gentle and soothing on my skin but surprisingly this mask completely burnt my skin.

As soon as I applied the mask my skin started to get really itchy and it burnt like crazy. I had to rinse it off straight away and I was left with a red and irritated face. I'm guessing the fruit enzymes in the mask didn't agree with my type of skin.

Although I had a bad experience and probably wont be using this product again it sounds like other people have had awesome experiences with it so if you have non sensitive skin I'm sure it will do wonders for you.

This however... I'm on the fence. I received a sample of this in the Oasis goodie bag. It came in a gorgeous purple pottle and I got about 4 uses out of it. I don't like the smell of this, I don't know what it is, but I don't smell pineapple, or papaya. It says no colors, but it's a reddish purpley kinda color, but it's very attractive.

I tried it first as a face mask as it is a 3 in one but as it dried it irritated my face and I didn't like the feeling that much. It made me look like I had a dirty face, which I laughed at. But it washed off and my face was lovely and smooth.

I used it the next few times in the shower as I usually would a face wash, and the gritty deliciousness got all up in my grill. My moisturizer felt sooo good afterwards!

This bad boy is made locally in NZ, and is gentle enough for daily use, or a once off every week as a face mask. I wouldn't personally repurchase this, but I wouldn't mind using another sample in a few months time ;-)

I had heard rave reviews about this one but unfortunately I didn't quite get the hype. I found it really odd in texture to wear as a masque so I tended to use it as a scrub/quick mask in the shower. It did a good job of exfoliating my skin, and I did like the small grains as opposed to a more chunky scrub as I feel like it does a better job. The scent was sort of a fruity playdough, a little strange but no offensive. I think if this was a bit cheaper I would probably be happy enough with this as my exfoliator but at $40 this is not really worth it to me.

I love this brand as it's a NZ brand. The color of this is weeeeiiirrrdddd, my husband got a shock when I walked into the living room with this on! The grains are a medium size and it didn't feel like it was too harsh for my skin. However, because of all the rubbing with getting it off with a wet cloth, my face was left quite red and splotchy. It did settle after a bit though. It left my face quite smooth and soft, but typical of all other exfoliators I've tried.

I received a mini deluxe sample of this with an Oasis order. From the name and ingredients, I was expecting this to be really zingy and fruity smelling. Instead it has that weird unfragranced smell, similar to that of Rhino Repair. It is dark pink in colour, from the clay and with a very fine scrub texture. I applied this as a mask and left it to dry, then rinsed off, as I’m not a fan of scrubs. This left my skin feeling smooth and clean and not dry like it sometimes does with clay masks. This is a good product but as I’m not into clay masks or scrubs, I’m unlikely to use it again.

This product had good reviews basically that's how I've been buying all my products thru the rave reviews and it's Oasis so it has to be great. unfortunately I don't like it. The product has an usual appearance but nice colour pinky grapefruit look. It is a twonderful in one product either a scrub/exfoliater or a mask you choose. Use is just like a scrub and rinse off or leave it on the face as a mask then rinse off. Either way I didn't like it. I know I don't want to be negative. But I found as a mask it didn't provide me the clinging tight feel or the hardness that a mask has when left on. So wasn't overly impressed with its mask effect. as for a scrub well it was ok. Not awesome but ok. Everything about it wants me to say its awesome the ingredients are all awesome the look of it the paste type consistency really does look like a smoothy and it has a friendly scent like all natural products do. That kind of scent you know it's good to eat or soak into your skin. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I still love Oasis. Maybe this suits the type of person who likes the lighter application of skin care masks and exfoliaters ?

Personally this product did not add up to the hype i heard it to be. It does have a lovely fragrance and texture but I found when i left it on my skin like you would a mask it just started to irritate my skin and i don't have sensitive skin whatsoever. it did work as an exfoliate nicely. But personally i did not find a huge difference in my skin afterwards. and the exfoliating beads were quite of a mission to remove as even after cleansing my skin again because it felt quite oily afterwards i was still finding product left over.

I feel so bad giving this a not-so-positive review, because so many of you ladies obviously love this! However, it just didn't do... well, anything... for me.

I love the smell, first off. It's super fruity and refreshing, and just all round delicious (although I don't think you're meant to taste it). I also really like the texture in terms of application: not too thick, like some masks can be, but not so thin that it's hard to get a good layer on.

I've used this as both a mask and just an exfoliant. Both ways, I feel like it hasn't done much. The little exfoliating beads aren't too rough, and do feel like they're doing a good job, but once I've rinsed it all off and moisturised, I don't feel like my skin has been properly exfoliated: I still have any dry patches from before, and around my nose/areas where I experiene a few blackheads, etc, I don't notice any difference at all. Above all, my skin just doesn't feel that much smoother than before, which is this product's main claim.

I got this as a sample from Oasis, which I would recommend - I've used it about six times, and I still have over half left, so it's a really good way to try it out. I dunno. It works for so many people, so it is worth a go - it just didn't work that well for me personally.

Hope that helps! xx
