I mentioned in my last Haul Post that I had done a bit of shopping at Lush but I didn't tell you what I got. That's because I had a feeling that I would want to review what I got, and I didn't want you guys getting bored of my ramblings. Now Lush is one of those places that I think is really cool, but because most of their products are skincare-related and my skin will react if the wind blows in the wrong direction, I've sort of avoided trying too many of their products. Like their masks, which I've heard wonderful things about.
I explained to the shop assistant that my skin is sensitive and dry, and she showed me one of her favourites, Oatifix.
The label says: "Get your Oatifix with a blend of bananas, vanilla and oats to nourish irritated skin". Apparently, it doesn't have as much clay as most of their other masks, which means you can leave it on for a long time and still get the moisturizing benefits.
Here is what it looks like; nothing special. However, it does smell delicious. Now I am not a fan of banana-scented things, so it does say a lot about the product if I can stand having something with bananas on my face. But I think it smells a bit like oatmeal cookies, so even wearing the mask was a pleasant experience.
The things I do for this blog...
It really does look like oatmeal once it's on your face, but overall, I found wearing the mask more than tolerable. I had it on for about 40 minutes and while it did dry during that time, it was never uncomfortable.
The result: crazy smooth, soft skin that has lasted for days. I used this about four days ago now and still no signs of breakout or any weird reactions- it's a miracle! The mask rinsed off quite well, with the oats acting as a gentle exfoliator.
So long story short; if you've been afraid to try any masks for fear of a sensitive skin-related reaction, Oatifix is a great one to start with.
Do you have a favourite mask or Lush product? Seeing as I'm just getting back into them, I'd love to hear some other opinions.
