The Mask of Magnaminty can be found at your nearest Lush Cosmetics Store. It is also available online. It is marketed as a deep cleansing face and back mask. The mask contains China clay and fresh peppermint. These are used to pull toxins and debris from your pores. Aduki Beans are in the mask to exfoliate your skin and rid your face of dry and flaky skin. Vanilla Absolute is added to the mask to calm redness. The presence of honey soothes tired, dry skin. $24.95 for 11.1 ounces. A little goes a long way, but this mask does expire after four months. I don't consider this a con due to the fact that Lush uses fresh and natural ingredients.
I use this mask 1-2 times per week. It isn't harsh, but my skin would dry out if I used it more than twice a week. I apply this mask to clean skin and wait for it to dry. I leave it on for 10-15 minutes. The peppermint does give your skin a tingling sensation, which I love! The beans are chunky, but I love the feel of them when I wash the mask off of my face. They gently slough away dead skin. The mask does have a pepperminty/clay smell. It is not my favorite scent, but my skin looks even and clean after each use. It does tend to draw impurities from my skin so I do notice a small breakout after use, but it goes away quickly and my skin feels squeaky clean.
The next product I use is the Mario Badescu Strawberry scrub. I love how this scrub feels on my dry skin. I use it 1-2 times per week to keep my skin clear and soft. It has strawberry seeds that slough away dead skin. This exfoliates while moisturizing my skin. The natural AHA’s break down dulling build-up to unclog pores. My skin is always glowing and soft after each use. I purchased mine at Nordstrom for $15.00. Keep your eye out an Hautelook and Gilt because you can find it on sale there as well!
The next product that is a regular staple in my regimen is Lush Ocean Salt. The sea salt washes away dirt, debris, and dead skin. The scrub contains avocado and coconut. These two ingredients are very hydrating and all natural! This scrub also contains lime which is an antibacterial ingredient that will help stop/treat blackheads and blemishes. This is great to use after a workout or whenever you feel like your skin needs extra attention and cleaning. A little goes a long way. I purchased mine at Lush, but you can also order yours online. 4.2 oz. for $21.95 or 8.8 oz. for $35.95. Sometimes Lush will offer a smaller size in a kit as well. I am currently using mine from a kit I received until I can get back to a Lush store.
This Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser is a great exfoliator. It contains rich mango butter and jojoba beads which are moisturizing and exfoliating at the same time. This is a great daily exfoliator. It is very gentle for dry/mature skin. the smell is absolutely amazing. You know exactly what I am talking about if have had the opportunity to smell other Aveda products. This is a natural wash and great year round. If you have oily skin, this may be what you want to reach for during drier months. Stay away during the summer. I have dry skin so I reach for this amazing product year round. $29.00 for 5 oz.
