Queen Helene Mud Pack Masque

The full name for this product is Queen Helene Natural English Clay Mud Pack Masque and can be purchased for $3.99 at ULTA. The description on the product reads as follows: Using the time-tested, facial treatment of Old English clay, this mud pack masque is designed to relax tired facial muscles, tighten sagging skin, stimulate circulation, and soften lines and wrinkles. Since I am totally all over the anti-aging thing, this was naturally what I chose. And it's so cheap!

So this product is very creamy and does apply on brown, which turns into a powdery light brown when it dries. It definitely has the texture of clay. Some of the cons listed on the ULTA website, I do agree with. The smell is quite strong and I would rather it was odorless. I can definitely see how it can irritate and dry out skin. It's quite harsh, in my opinion. Definitely not something I would recommend for dry or sensitive skin. I have oily skin so it works fine. However, the winter has caused some dry sensitive spots on my chin and around my nostrils. Let me tell you, if put these products on those spots, it will sting and it will burn. Putting cool air on it by fanning my face makes it feel better.

I've been told I look scary with the mask. Especially when it dries and starts to crack, I look like some broken porcelain doll. Despite the cons, I do think this product works very well for my skin type. It does leave my skin refreshed and clean. It does leave my face feeling smoother. This is a large sized product for a cheap price so you definitely get your money's worth. In one application, I do use a lot of product to cover my whole face. Other products sell for a higher price while offering less, which just isn't economical. This has the best value and is good quality. I would recommend it to others with my skin type and would definitely purchase again.
