The Sanctuary Thermal Detox Mask Review

I picked up The Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask (Boots £10.50 100ml) after the product was getting rave reviews on the likes of Zoella and Lily Pebbles YouTube channels (see below).

 

Face masks are not something I use often in my cleansing routine however I'm trying my best to incorporate them at least once a week. With a memory like mine even this is a hard task. 

The tube states "A favourite product in our spa facials, the warmth of this self-heating masks helps to open up the pores so the charcoal and kaolin clay can help draw out the impurities from deep within the skin". As well as purifying, the mask also rebalances the skins oil levels to clarify, cleanse and leave skin with a silky touch, essential oil of myrhh helps sooth and calm". 

This mask is great for those with oily spot prone skin, used weekly for a skin detox. These days I don't tend to have oily skin, except around that time of the month when my hormones are having a party. However this is not to say that people with non-oily skin cannot use this. 

The texture of the mask is relatively thick and has a grey colour. This mask does not have a strong smell. 

After cleansing your skin, apply a thin layer of the mask on damp skin and leave for five minutes. You will notice that as soon as the mask makes contact with your face it has a warming effect. However this won't last. Once dried remove with a damp cloth and pat dry. Follow up using your favourite moisturiser. 

I really like this mask and it does as it says on the tube. No wonder it's been loved by many across the YouTube / Beauty community. 

Smaller sachets of the mask are also available (Boots £3.00 15ml) if you want to test it out before making a commitment to buy the full size product. 

Enjoy! 

Muchos love
