Review on The Body Shop Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Face Mask - Vegan, 2.6 Fl Oz by Ben Almasri

Oh my goodness, this is one of the best skin care investments I've EVER made! As someone who suffers from redness/blotchiness & oily, acne-prone skin that gets dry in winter, this is a miracle mask. I've used it 4 times (generously) and only used about 1/5 of the jar; you certainly get your money's worth. It's messy, so be prepared! When the mask dries it gets hard as a rock (pun intended?), so expressions are nearly impossible, haha. My face experienced the most amazing, cooling, calming, refreshing tingles as the mask went to work - it was like a 15-minute facegasm LOL! I truly felt like I was at a spa getting some super-expensive pampering treatment. It will take several splashes of water to get the mask to soften, but as you remove it, the mask deeply scrubs and exfoliates, leaving your skin baby-soft and completely refreshed. It shrank all spots of acne and totally balanced my blotchy skin tone. Your skin will feel quite dry afterwards so a moisturizer is definitely needed - I applied Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing gel mixed in with a few drops of Tarte Maracuja oil, and HOLY WOW, the tingles continued! My skin was singing to the heavens as I got into bed, I cannot explain how nice it felt! The large particulates in the mask are the only thing about this item I question, due to rinsing them all down my sink; I hope I don't end up clogging my drain pipes. Otherwise, this mask is so, so, SO worth it, cannot recommend it highly enough! I hope The Body Shop NEVER discontinues this, I don't ever want to run out! (P.S. I originally purchased via Ulta, but loved it so much I had to come here and rave about it as well - it's also a teensy bit cheaper here on Best Buy).
