Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

This was my first experience of any kind of facemask from the Lush range although I had read a lot about them and was expecting great things. This facemask was one which I chose as part of a promotional box during their new year sale, you could basically choose 9 items for around £11 and one of the choices was a facemask. The reason I chose the Oatifix one is that my skin, especially on my face, is very dry and sensitive and I did not want to risk making it any worse but I do love face masks. I usually use a thermal one from the Body Shop but had run out so this was a new foray for me. The tub I got as part of the box was a small 50g tub but they ...  Read the complete review

After my first dive into the world of Lush facemasks with BB Seasweed, I thought I'd see what other facemasks were being offered by Lush, as I was so happy with the one I'd previously tried. Instead of saving up my 5 Lush pots, which would enable me to exchange them for a free facemask, I forked out the £5.50 needed for a 75g pot. Out of the remaining selection of facemasks, discounting the one I'd tried as I wanted to try something new, I chose the Oatifix mask. This mask is mainly designed for dry skin, and my skin is generally normal, but on that particular week the weather had been particularly harsh and had made my face feel tight and in need ...  Read the complete review

I made a special visit to Lush because I'd heard good things about Oatifix, the latest addition to their range of fresh face masks. I was lucky to be able to get it as part of the Lush 'eight items for £10' Freshers box which was being promoted instore during my visit. Lush is the only place I know of that sells fresh face masks. That does mean they only last a few weeks and you have to keep them in the fridge, but the short lifespan means you are less likely to forget about using them, so I think they are well worth it. Oatifix contains oats and bananas, which both make regular appearances on 'superfood' lists. Bananas are good for energy and have ...  Read the complete review

When I went into Lush at the weekend the lady asked if I wanted a sample of one of the fresh face masks and I asked for the Oatifix one because I'd just brought a pot of my fave Cupcake mask. This one is very sweet smelling, I can smell banana in it and a nice oaty smell comes out and I think I can smell vanilla as well but this comes through more when the face mask is on and not from the pot. It feels a bit gritty when you put it on but that doesn't feel bad and even though you can't see actual oats in it you know the small BITS in the mask are the fine oats it mentions on the pot. It goes on nice but I think you are forced to put it on a bit ...  Read the complete review

I finally got a chance to try this Lush face mask as I've brought back 5 of my empty containers for their recycling program. I had a little read and tried a few of the ones I thought I might like but this face mask seemed to suit my skin the best as I've got quite dry and sensitive skin. So, their face masks are all freshly made, they need to be stored in the fridge as they will spoil if you just leave them at room temperature and they do expire in 3 to 4 weeks so do use them at lease every week if not twice a week to not waste any product. As it's been stored in the fridge, it's very cooling when you apply it to your skin. I find that this helps ...  Read the complete review
