Live Native Botanic Earth Antioxidant Mud Mask Review

www.livenative.co.uk
Rating: 6/5. Available from Live Native in 60g pots for £29.99 (+ £2.45 p&p) and 15g pots for £15.50 (+ £1.95 p&p). Suitable & beneficial for all skin types.

They've done it again, a few months ago it was their essential earth exfoliating cleanser, and now this mask.Ok, ok , so we can't really  give a product over 100% but this one deserves it! For one it has 23k edible gold flakes in it, it smells of the most delicious chocolate known to man. Seriously, if they made this into an edible product, we wouldn't have any left!

To apply you need to mix 1 tsp of the mask mix - that comes as a powder - with 1 tsp lukewarm water until paste like, smear it all over the face and neck avoiding they delicate eye area, sit back and relax, making sure to keep the mask moist. They recommend that you keep it on for 15 minutes and regularly spritz your face with water, floral water or their Essential mist toner or using a warm, damp towel to stop it drying out. We went with (a) warm damp towel, (b) applying it just before a bath so the steam keeps it moist, (c) floral water and (d) water. All were equally successful...apart from the bath thing. I don't know why we thought that would work.

The warm damp towel idea works like a charm, if not a bit messy. As you might know we love our floral water spritzers so that was our favourite, but normal water gave the same effect.

When we took the mask off, the results were immediate and they lasted for 5 days with our usual moisturising routine. Beautiful. We have each had so many compliments on our skin, it's amazing! This face mask feeds the skin with antioxidants, phytochemicals, live active enzymes and minerals. In doing so, it improves skin tone, tightens, refreshens and leaves the face and neck silky smooth. It's the best bought facial mask that we've ever used, we'd go so far as to say that it's better than spa treatments (and cheaper given how many applications you'll get out of one jar). It's perfect for everyone and should be a go-to staple for anyone who likes to buy their skin treats!
