I think face masks are one of my favourite skincare products to put to the test, especially budget friendly ones. I read a couple of positive reviews about this mask and the fact it was only £1.50 I knew I had to try it. When it finally came back in stock in my local Boots (clearly it's pretty popular) I picked it up and i've been testing it ever since.
The packaging is very simple and basic; it matches the rest of the essentials cucumber range. The tube is actually rather small at only 50ml which isn't a bad thing and i'm considering taking it when I go travelling soon.
The cucumber in the mask is meant to sooth and soften the skin whilst the clay is designed to draw out impurities and excess oil. I like the fact that this mask does both as it isn't as drying as some clay mask can be. There's a subtle cucumber scent to the product which is actually rather pleasant and not overpowering. It applies nicely and doesn't feel tight on the skin. You can leave it on for 3 minutes for a quick fix or a bit longer for a deeper cleanse. Both ways, the mask works really well.
The mask really doesn't feel harsh on the skin and isn't drying which means it is one that would work for all skin types. Once washed away my skin feels clean, yet soothed. If I use it in the evening, the next day my skin feels a lot less congested. The mask is a great, budget option whilst actually working really well.
Have you tried this mask? What is your favourite budget friendly mask?
