Ocean Mist Clay Face Mask
The Ocean Mist Clay Face Mask is a very thick mask since most of it's components are indeed clay. It is made out of bentonite clay and kaolin clay, which are not ones to absorb oil so they are not ideal for extra oily skin but perfect for those with dry to combination skin. The ingredients also include coconut milk which gives your skin a nice boost of vitamin C. What that does is help the elasticity of your skin. Which is good going down the line as you age. It also contains Aloe Vera gel which soothes the skin and gives it plenty of moisture. Below is the list of the full ingredients of the product. They use preservatives to give it longer shelf life but do not use the harmful ones most large brands put into their products.
Ingredientsbentonite clay, kaolin clay, coconut milk, aloe vera, vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, fragrance oil, mica colorants, phenonip, glycerin, water, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sorbitol, propylene glycol, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, stearic acid, sodium chloride, diozolidinyl urea, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate
I want to make sure that you know to always read the ingredients on the site before you purchase in case there are allergies you might have in there. On the container it's very small since I purchased a 1oz but that is not really an issue since it's listed very clearly on the site itself. I can't stress enough how important it is to not only read ingredients but for small businesses to list them all as well.
I did purchase the small 1oz bottle of the mask since I was afraid I might be allergic. I was willing to purchase it to test it out, I was so happy to find out I had no reaction at all. The 1oz container is filled to the brim with product, it's completely full and you get your money's worth. For 3USD it is totally worth it if you are wanting to try it out. It's the cheapest 1oz on the site so far but that does not diminish the quality.
The formula of the mask is very thick due to all the clay in it. That makes it hard to apply and you have to really scoop out a lot of it if you want to do a full face. So if you are the type that only does full face then I suggest purchasing a larger size such as 2oz if you like it. A little bit does not go a long way in this sense. But the mask is very lovely once it is on the skin. The scent of it is very strong and makes me feel as if I am walking on a beach. It makes me want to drive the two hours to see the beach, that is how lovely it is. However, it is a bit strong, all their product scents tend to be on the strong side which is not a bad thing. Though if you have a sensitive nose like I do it takes a bit to adjust. This one was almost an exception since the scent is just so lovely.
The color of the mask is quite beautiful, though with handmade products it tends to vary from batch to batch. Mine was a beautiful gray blue color which made me feel as if I was putting that mud on my face from those hot springs. Once it's on your face it does not move and it feels very nice on the skin. You leave the mask on for about 10-15 minutes and then wash off with water. However, when the mask is on I noted no burning sensation, a slight cold tingling feeling which I love, and I could wear my glasses while I had it on, which is always a plus in my book.
The mask was easy to wash off and it bubbled up just like the rest of their products. A feature I truly love, makes it so much more fun to take off. Once the mask was off my skin felt a bit textured and I was worried it didn't really do anything to my skin. Though after about 10 minutes my skin started to become softer and softer. So if that happens to you don't be worried about it, just give it time, you did just rub your face after all. Your skin will start to soften and feel luxurious like it does with the other face mask I reviewed.
Overall this mask is lovely and it is one I find myself getting excited to use. I would purchase a larger version again in a heartbeat.
