As you've already noticed, I've been busy busy today, preparing posts. I sort of wanted to compensate for the lack of activity yesterday.
Little introduction:
I've been taking Liv52 from Himalaya but had no idea that Himalaya also has a cosmetic line. Until i stumbled onto an flyer and stared long at it. i looked through it and stopped at the masks section because i noticed they had a peel off mask. I had been using the peel off mask from Gerovital Plant and tried again to buy a few months ago but couldn't find it anywhere (just looked on the Gerovital online shop and they still make it) . While on the masks section i noticed they also had this mud mask and decided i would take this one as well and I'm glad i did it. I have been using this mask for about 2 months now so I can say that I have

Ingredients:
Quick pros and cons:
+ firming, tightening, rejuvenating check
+ natural glow check
+ controlling blemishes and blackheads check
+ improved skin texture check
- initial stinging sensation
Detailing:
So I'll start with the cons this time because it's easier. The only thing that I don't like about this mud mask is that, in the first moments after applying it i experience a stinging/burning sensation, it's quite uncomfortable but it goes away fast. I must specify that this mask is destined for oily skin, mine is dry and sensitive and i guess, maybe, that's the reason for the initial sensation but I was really happy with the result and impressed. After the first use i was like "OMG my skin looks so good! Look at that glow!". So it truly has the affects advertised, after using the mask, my skin is brighter, smoother, and it feels really clean. Even with the burning sensation, it doesn't irritate my skin , no red spots, nothing. Because my skin is dry i can't tell if it absorbs the excess oil but i have a feeling it does and it does help me control blackheads, doesn't remove them but what mask can do that?. I want to mention that i also tried the Cattier mud mask for dry skin and wasn't satisfied by it, it didn't even do half of the things the Himalaya mask does.
Conclusions:
All in all, I definitely recommend it, I'm very happy that I bought this mask, it truly has the results advertised. For me, it's like the perfect match and I do intend to buy this mask again

Thanks for this review. I think I will buy it soon.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Gerovital mask, I think you can find it at a pharmacy nearby Unirea. I don't know it's name. It's close to a Transilvania Bank. Which one do you think it's better against black heads? Gerovital or Himalaya?
If I had choose I'd say Himalaya but just for blackheads i would recommend pore strips and a good scrub (u cand try Cosmetic Plant Crema de gommage cu extract de galbenele). And thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteTrebuie sa incep sa folosesc si eu masti. Knowing me, o sa imi fac una la 2 zile, cand de hidratare, cand de puncte negre, pentru ca n-am stare. Eu sunt nebuna care foloseste scrub zilnic, nu cumva sa am coji pe fata si puncte negre pe nas :))
ReplyDelete@Joice - in tineretile mele...foloseam si eu scrub zilnic (Clearasil) dar de cand mi s-a schimbat tenul si e asa uscat las scrub-ul doar pentru zilele in care imi pun masca, si asta o fac cam la 3 zile
ReplyDeleteCan this mask be used by 18 year olds ?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - Sure, of course you can, I can't see any reason not to :)
ReplyDeleteCe efecte are pentru tenul mixt?
ReplyDelete@Gamine chiar nu stiu ce sa-ti raspund, daca te uiti la data articolului vei vedea ca este foarte vechi, de atunci nu am mai folosit masca, dar ce am scris acolo ramane valabil, acelea au fost rezultatele pe care le-am observat pe tenul meu.
