This deep cleansing mask by Eve Lom is something i've been cooing over for a while now, so when i received a sample in my most recent Space.NK order i was pretty chuffed! The mask claims to help boost your complexion and is an emergency treatment for sluggish, stressed out skin. I didn't use this straight away as i wanted to wait until i had a few blemishes to really see if this would help when my skin was more congested than usual. After a day at my new work placement, my skin was feeling pretty lack luster and had started to break out in a few small blemishes, so the first thing i did when i got home was whip this rescue mask out! I applied this in a thin layer all over my face and then topped it up on the areas that needed a little more help and left in on for about 20 minutes (which is recommended). The texture is quite smooth but has some gritty almond bits which also make it feel quite exfoliating and dries without feeling too tight and flaky. The mask has Almond and Honey-infused Kaolin Clay which helps to reduce puffiness and absorbs excess oils which i love for my combination skin. After i washed this off with warm water, my skin felt so smooth and soft and like i had really given it a proper treat! Any redness and inflammation was reduced greatly and my skin felt really soothed.
(please excuse the wild eyebrows, these have since been tended to!)
Whilst this mask is marked at quite a steep price point at £35 for only 50ml, it's something i would definitely be interested in purchasing full size when i feel like a (really special) skin treat. The mask has also won the Instyle award for "Best Mask for Congested Skin" for seven consecutive years. Umm wow? You can by the Eve Lom Rescue Mask directly from the Eve Lom website or from your local Space NK.
