[vc_row][vc_column][sm_column_text]Not everyone may know that, but …… I am a face mask junkie…No hiding here…. no denying… I have face mask evening a few times a week…  I honestly think introducing face masks to my skin care routine made a huge difference to the appearance and health of my skin 🙂

There is nothing I enjoy more, than putting on my PJs and a face mask after a long day at work.  I have very oily, and quite problematic skin, so naturally my favourite masks are detoxifying clay masks.  I only needed to use Mudmasky face mask once to completely fall in love with it. This is by far the best clay based face mask I have ever used.[/sm_column_text][sm_custom_heading heading_tag=”h4″]Mudmasky Face Mask Description[/sm_custom_heading][sm_column_text]Mudmasky is an eco-friendly, organic Dutch company.  I came across this brand on Instagram a couple of months ago. I entered their competition…and… won a tub of their amazing Mudmasky mud mask.  By the time I used it up I was hooked and ordered more 🙂

Mudmasky face mask refines pores and brightens skin. It keeps your skin hydrated and smooth; it helps as well to balance your skin’s pH for a perfect complexion. Skin becomes visibly healthier, feels energised and looks plumper. this mud face mask is suitable for men and women of all ages and all skin types.

Mudmasky only uses the best premium natural ingredients. They have sourced the ingredients to fit any skin type. It is paraben and other nasty chemical free mask.

They have combined the three finest clays in the world:

• French Green Clay,
• Grey Wyoming Clay
• Premium Light Brown Moroccan Lava Clay

for the best Balanced Facial Mud Mask.

This mask has 5 skin care benefits,some are immediate and some will take effect over a period of time using this mask.

1. Pore Refining
   French Green Clay combined with Grey Wyoming Clay is being used to purify and deep-clean by drawing out and absorbing impurities. Cucumis Sativus adjust to the pH-level of your skin, while the Camellia Sinensis Leaf prevents excessive bacterial growth and oil on the skin.
2. Hydrating
   Moroccan Lava Clay helps in the treatment of dehydrated, sensitive skin. Betaine also hydrates the skin and adjusts the skin pH.
3. Anti-Aging
   Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract slows the degeneration of the skin by helping the various skin constituents like elastin and collagen remain vital and able to retain moisture. The Natural Vitamin E – D-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate – provides protection against free radicals.
4. Brightening
   The Citrus Acid of the Calamondin fruit removes dead skin cells, allowing new cells to grow. It allows the deeper layer of the skin to come to surface faster and speeds up the cycle of skin turnover, which has a natural brightening effect on the skin.
5. Smoothing
   Allantoin helps to moisturise and soften skin and allows skin to hold onto water better

• Great at minimising pores – only temporarily, but I learnt that nothing will shrink pores permanently 🙁
• provides deep-clean by drawing out and absorbing impurities.
• it is antibacterial
• leaves my skin well hydrated and brightened and oh sooo smooth
• best mask I have ever used. I would say it is a better version of Glamglow mud mask 😉
• love the packaging, easy to use and not messy at all

[/sm_column_text][sm_custom_heading heading_tag=”h4″]Cons[/sm_custom_heading][sm_column_text]

• Mudmasky face mask  is a bit pricey at €69.00 per 60ml tube, but I honestly think it is worth its price.
• only available online (if you live in Ireland ) Got my mask from their website: www.mudmasky.com

[/sm_column_text][sm_custom_heading heading_tag=”h4″]Summary[/sm_custom_heading][sm_column_text]I cannot praise this Mudmasky face  mask high enough. I would say it is one of very few skincare products that actually does not over-promise.  Mudmasky delivered on every single promise. My skin never looked better. It is a perfect pick me up treatment for tired, dull skin with imperfections….actually it is great for any skin type.

Mudmasky face mask hydrates… as promised… it smooths skin as promised, it refined pores….as promised, it clears skin again as promised.  It does not prevent breakouts or blackheads, but it surely makes them go away quicker.

Mudmasky clay mask is dark greenish grey in colour and dries to a light grey colour. It dries quite quickly. By the time 11 minutes passes (recommended time to leave it on for oily skin) it is completely dry. It is recommended to wait 10 minutes before application of a moisturiser.

If I was to rate this mask I would give it 5 out of 5 stars. It is  pricey, but it is natural and uses only ingredients of the highest quality.[/sm_column_text][sm_image alt=”mudmasky face mask” image=”631″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
