Beauty Product Review: Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask

I received a full-sized bottle of Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask complimentary in the J’Adore VoxBox from Influenster. I normally do not use masks in my skin care regimen because my skin is somewhat sensitive. But I have been wanting to introduce a mask into my regimen at least once a week. I’ve shared a bit of information from Boots Botanics about the product, my thoughts, and pictures of me using the products.

What They Say:

Designed for use on normal skin, the unscented, hypo-allergenic formula absorbs excess oil and deeply cleanses skin. The oceanic clay exhibits a negative electrical charge, which helps to draw out impurities without overdrying, skin is left looking clearer whilst feeling softer and smoother. Willowbark, a key ingredient in the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask, is nature’s champion clarifier. The bark of the willow tree is a natural source of salicylic acid which helps to refine skin texture and actively target imperfections.

What I Say:

First off, please be sure to shake and squeeze the bottle so that the liquid aren’t separate. When I first opened the tube, liquid immediately spilled out all over my phone and sink. Reading others’ reviews, this is a common issue. You’ve been warned. Fortunately everything was covered and no damage was done. Besides that, I really did like the consistency and the mask went on smoothly. As it dried, there was some sensation but it was not overly irritating. After I rinsed the mask off, my skin felt clean and there was some tingle afterwards. After I applied a light moisturizer, that went away. My skin also felt softer and smoother and not dry as promised. This product retails at $9.39, which is within my price point. I would purchase this product and add to my skin care regimen.
