It’s that time again when I pick my favourite product which I received in one of my many beauty boxes. This month’s showstopper is the iconic GLAMGLOW YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Mask which I received in my Look Fantastic Beauty Box and it definitely deserves to be in the spotlight. It’s been on my wishlist for quite sometime and I was delighted to see this renowned mask which claims to deliver the most incredible instant results in just one application.

The GLAMGLOW Youth Mud Mask is a performance driven super mask which contains the highest quality ingredients giving exceptional results. It doesn’t just take care of one skin concern, it delivers everything you need for great skin, whatever your skin type from brightening to toning the skin. It delivers both instant and cumulative results and leaves your complexion revived and glowing for 3 days after each application. With its heritage in Hollywood film studios The GLAMGLOW range has acclaimed it’s fame in the UK  too.

We all hope for some form of miracle when it comes to facial beauty products from lustrous flawless skin to instant quick fixes especially now as winter really puts our beauty regime to the test. Having finally road tested this mask it’s truly been my skin saviour this month and has become a firm favourite which delivers every time.

This isn’t your average type of mask as such and whilst it’s clay based it also contains actual green tea leaves and fine grain particles from volcanic pumice rock. The mask has a pleasant green tea scent which reminds me of a perfume by Elizabeth Arden. The texture is thick and spreads easily however the leaves do fall off and leave a little mess on the floor so I would advise applying this in the bathroom!

I simply left this on for around 10 minutes and after a few minutes I could really feel the tingling sensation which is quite bizarre at first but you soon adapt to it. Once the ten minutes were up I wet the mask a little and massaged gently to benefit from the exfoliating grains. The mask is easy to remove and doesn’t leave any unwanted residue on the on the skin.

I wasn’t expecting any miracles and neither was I going to look ten times younger but miraculously my lack-lustrous skin immediately looked brighter, clearer and more radiant. This mask is seriously just wow and whilst the glow didn’t last for three days as per it’s claims my skin looked much healthier and my blemishes looked more blurred. I’ve since purchased the full size tub and have been using this once a week. It’s been three weeks and I’m already noticing an improved difference in my skin. The Glamglow mask really is magic in a tub and it’s a great pick me up for all skin types, perfect for brightening up dull and problematic skin this winter.

My favourite product which I received in April has to be the Brightening White Clay with Ginseng Masque by ClaySpray which was sent to me in my You Beauty Discovery Beauty Box.

Upon choosing my products I was so excited to see this in the selection menu as this is the first time I have seen a face mask in a spray formula. It’s no wonder that these sold out so quickly on the website!

ClaySpray is the first clay emulsion to come in a spray can which not only helps keep the clay fresh but pure also.

The founder of Clay Spray is Marian an Archaeologist by training. “Clay is intimately bond to the excavation deposits, where Archaeologists patiently scrapes away layer by layer from the most recent traces human settlements through the oldest until a virgin stratum is reached that no human has ever had contact with. A clay deposit that has not undergone any alterations since its geological formation millions of years ago. This is where the job of the Archeologist finished and the dream of Pharmaclay starts”

This product exfoliates and renews. Removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresh new skin surface with energising ginseng to brighten, for an immediate replenished healthy look and 95% of its ingredients are natural.

This mask is perfect for tired and dull skin (ideal for me as the pressures of work and late nights play a toll on my skin) This is for combination and normal skin types.

I definitely didn’t waste any time to try this product. I initially thought this could be sprayed straight onto the face however this certainly was not the case! As per the instructions I sprayed this into the palm of my hand. The spray releases a lot of product really fast so you do have to be really careful otherwise it could be quite disastrous with clay everywhere! I applied and left it on for about 20 minutes and it dried firm.

I rinsed in the shower, and magically I acquired radiant looking skin! My pores looked more refined and my skin did look noticeably better. I am so impressed with this product it really is a hidden secret amongst the Beauty market and only wished I came across this earlier. I am quite particular about face masks but this really is effective and the results are noticeable. I am using this on a weekly basis as part of my cleansing regime.

I have recently purchased the Mattifying Red Clay Mask and the Glow Red Clay with Cacao Mask from www.feelunique.com who are stockists of ClaySpray. I am looking forward to their arrival!
