Rating: 5/5, available in 100g jars from lovelula for £56.17 (+p&p), being content for £55 (+p&p), and naturisimo for £55 (Inc p&p).

Suitable for all skin types and touted by the beauty director of Tatler herself, this mask is deeply nourishing, calms, soothes and rejuvenates the skin. On top of that it is 100% raw and organic, which means that it is full of enzymatic action!

Last weekend, at Em's aunts annual february barbecue, we discovered that Em's aunt had invested in this beauty and after a polite request she gave us two tablespoons worth to try out for ourselves. I know, it doesn't sound like alot, but it's looking like it will last us a while. You only need 1 teaspoon per application, and Em's aunt said that it was so rich we'd not need to use it more than once a week at the most. We agree.

To use, you mix one teaspoon of the powder with one teaspoon of water in a small bowl until it forms a thin, vibrant green paste. Apply evenly to the face, neck and decolletage keeping moist by spritzing it with water. After 10-20 minutes, gently wash off with a soft washcloth or your hands and some lukewarm water.

For greater benefits Dr Alkaitis suggests that you mix the teaspoon of the powder with goats milk yogurt and a teaspoon of raw honey.

the alkaitis site list this preparation:

How to Use: (my personal favorite recipe)

• Mix one full teaspoon of Universal Mask with
• One full teaspoon of organic goat milk yogurt (or Keifer)
• Add one full teaspoon of raw organic honey
• Blend well in a small bowl. (The texture should be like a creamy yogurt, not too thick or thin.)
• Apply with fingertips and keep on for up to 20 minutes.
• Rinse with warm damp towels and follow with Dr. Alkaitis’ Herbal Toner.

Note: You may choose to only use water, and omit either the honey and or yogurt. All are perfectly fine choices. So long as an aqueous substance activates the mask, it will work. If you do only use water with this mask, keep water mister handy to spritz your face every now and then to keep the mixture moist while on your skin.

We've only used this twice, for the first application we just used water and spritzed our faces with water to keep the mask moist. For the second application we tried goats milk yogurt and raw honey, again using water to keep the mask moist.

First application results (mask powder with water and spritzing).
Wow, this is super deep cleansing!! I get inflamed skin and a rash that spans across my cheeks if I eat anything that my body doesn't agree with imparting a red glow. On the day of the first application I had been bought a gluten free honey flapjack from our canteen. Turns out they had (a) omitted some things on the ingredient list or (b) not fully understood what gluten free means when it comes to oats. My skin was inflamed, and the rash was in full force. One minute after the mask was removed I could feel my skin had completely soothed, the rash had gone and my skin had returned to normal.

L's skin is combination skin, she'd had a stressful week and was suffering from a breakout; this mask took it away. Rendering her blemishes practically invisible and banishing the majority of her spots. The ones left were no longer red and

Em is lucky enought to have normal skin and it responded immediately, her skin looked brand new but you should know that this mask doesn't impart a glow and you will need to moisturise afterwards. What this mask does do is cleanse, soothe and rejuvenate. It sounds like a series of buzzwords but that is really what this mask does.

Second application (mask powder with goats milk yogurt, raw honey and spritzing)

This time the mask was much more moisturising, giving the skin a dewy glow. It helped to tame L's combination skin and gave all of us that gorgeous glow. Definitely worth trying with goats milk yogurt and raw honey!

All in all, this product is amazing! One day we'll invest in a jar because we still have just over 1 tablespoon left. We will treasure it!
