L'Oréal Paris Skin Expert L’Oreal Paris Face Mask Pure Clay Glow, 50 Ml

Like many women, I have never quite settled on one brand for all my skincare and every now and then I try new ones in a (usually vain) attempt to emerge more Venus-like.At the start of lockdown I decided to try a different face mask, and settled on trying a clay based one. After checking reviews on various websites I decided to try L'Oréal.I didn't really expect to love it, given it's a supermarket staple brand nowadays albeit a respected mid-range one. But I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.The mask is easy to put on and doesn't immediately harden, so it's easy to wash your hands etc after application. You don't get that awful tightening feeling that some masks give as it dries, but you do feel it harden ever so slightly. It's only when you touch your face after five to ten minutes that you realise it actually has dried in very nicely.If you forget to take it off after the allocated time or even if you leave it on for ages (as I do at times, albeit not strictly recommended by the manufacturer), mercifully there doesn't seem to be any reddening or drying of the skin caused by your tardiness. It actually seems to come off just the same as if you'd done it at the exact right time, which is great in terms of flexibility and much better than the ones you practically need a stopwatch for. The only difference is that the longer it's on, the more you'll see little flakes of the mask start to crumble if you touch it. But that's to be expected.I did once or twice have occasion to cry while wearing the mask (let's just blame sad movies) and the water didn't mess up the mask - albeit the trails of tears made their mark and turned my already green face into something resembling a comic book bad guy. If anything, it's a good way to laugh yourself out of any silly tears.On the flip side, the mask doesn't crack too much if you smile or laugh. You can still talk while wearing it, depending on how much room you leave around your lips and assuming you are fairly gentle in your speech. A massively wide smile might cause some cracks but even then, not enough to bring the mask crumbling down off your face.Removal is easy, just water on a cloth for me, I like the duality of the minor exfoliating effect that has while the mask is coming off, though I imagine you could just use your fingers with water for a gentler removal.And yes, my face definitely feels the effect afterwards. It's much smoother for maybe a day at a time. So much so that I feel the need to use this every week now, as I'm used to having a baby soft face, albeit we are sadly I'm 2020 therefore not allowed to be physically close enough to anyone for me to reap the benefits yet.This is my favourite of all the L'Oréal masks (and I've now tried them all). Really lovely. Enjoy!

First off, I love the ability to buy minis so you can try first, especially as so many products are overrated. I quite often end up buying full size products to throw in the bin.You’re supposed to put certain colours in certain places on your face. I however, decided to put each one in turn all over my face!I went with the black one first which smells a bit like really nice men’s cologne albeit very subtle. The blackheads and gunk it pulled from my skin quite disgusting. You’ll know it’s doing the same for you if as it dries you see white spots on it; blackheads are actually white beneath the skins surface. Tightens a little bit on the skin and took about 15 mins to dry completely. I used a warm wet face cloth to wipe it off. Did leave a little residue but that probably would have come off with a bit of a rinse. Since I was going with the green one straight after I didn’t bother.The green one smells more medicinal thanks to the eucalyptus and tightens a lot more on your face. Took about the same time to dry as the black one and I removed in the same manner. If this black one pulled out gunk this one made my skin nice and soft, with no residue left behind.Lastly, the red one. This one doesn’t tighten on your skin but takes about the same amount of time to try. Smells ok but the black one wins the smell test. Mixed this one with a little water and massaged my face before wiping off with a warm wet face cloth again. This one left my face really soft and shiny.I have the cleanest, shiniest skin and all the little bumps I had on my forehead are gone. Probably thanks to the gunk the black mask pulled out ... gross!I liked them so much I’ve just ordered a full size black mask and red mask. Even at full price they’re good value. I can get two uses out of each mini pack by the way.

I look like an umpalumpa when wearing it but it does the job.Used about 10 times now and still loads left in pot (a little goes a long way). Leaves my skin feeling exfoliated, fresh and glowing. Im not entirely sure if it's mildly stained my skin to give a glow but I'm happy 😉 I have slightly sensitive skin and this causes zero irritation.Great price and I will be trying out other products in the range.

I bought this as part of a gift as I know that it's a good quality make .

Im 41yrs and love this. I use it about twice a week ruband exfoliate it on. Leave it for 15min plus untillninget a chance to wash it off. Leave skin soft and fresh. At first i thought it was drying but its not

Expensive for what it is

My skin is so so soft after

Brilliant buy many thanks
