I have followed a strict beauty routine for the past 30+ years and at the age of 45 I am continuing to spend time cleansing, toning and moisturising on a daily basis. Whilst my skin was extremely oily when I was younger and subsequently prone to spots, as I have continued to age, it can now be described as T-zone where I suffer with oily areas on my forehead and nose with dry patches on my cheeks. Consequently, I am always on the look out for products specifically designed for my skin type. I am a huge fan of The Body Shop, particularly as the majority of their skin products are highly effective in addition to being gentle. A couple of years ago I used a ...  Read the complete review

The Product = = = = = = The product I am reviewing is a Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask, from The Body Shop. The product is suitable for combination/oily skin and helps to purify, cleans and control access oil on the skin. I don't often suffer from spots, how-ever I do get the occasional break out during the time of the month and my skin can become a little more greasy and sweaty than normal. I thought that this would be a good product to use once a week to give my face a good cleanse and clean. As well as drawing out impurities the mask also refreshes you face leaving it feeling clean, soft and smooth. The product comes in a round plastic tub which is clear so you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this face mask with my "Love Your Body" card as I had a £10 reward on it. The mask comes in a small round round pot and the mask has a clay like appearance. I would describe the smell of the mask as pleasant. It smells like the rest of the seaweed range if you are familar with the smell of that. I find the mask easy to smooth onto the skin. The consistency of the mask is quite creamy, although it is rather thin for a good quality face mask. I did expect it to be a little bit thicker due to the price of it. The mask takes around ten minutes to fully dry. I would suggest that you leave the mask on for ten minutes and not for any ...  Read the complete review

On a recent trip to the Body Shop, I'd only intended to stock up on some Tea Tree night lotion and have a look at their blemish stick from the same range but for some inexplicable reason, I also ended up buying this face mask despite having only just bought a much cheaper face mask tube from Superdrug. I'd heard good things about the seaweed range but never got round to trying it until now. THE MASK The mask is a greyish shade and from first glance, you can immediately see the presence of the clay. That said, it's not particularly thick and seems less so than the Tea Tree mask that I was previously using. RESULTS I decided not to buy ...  Read the complete review

It was my birthday a few months ago and one of the presents that I recieved was a gift bag full of The Body Shop goodies, which included a pot of the seaweed clay face mask. I'd seen this quite a few times in The Body Shop but as it's aimed at oily skin (and is quite expensive!) I wasn't too sure about it and gave it a miss. I'm glad that I got it as a present though as it's a pretty good face mask, although I definitely wouldn't buy it unless it was on offer as it costs £12.00 per 100ml. For that price I'd rather buy a fresh Lush mask which are full of natural, nourishing ingredients. I'm not saying that this is full of chemicals or anything, but most of the ...  Read the complete review
