Lush: Mask Of Magnaminty Review

I was given the lush mask of magnaminty to sample when my skin was going through a bad time this year
and omg. I literally fell in love with it. It smells like mint chocolate chip ice cream and the peppermint is so cooling on the skin. I fell in love with it so quickly that I went and brought a huge tub in the self-preserving version (which contains more honey, so it is a little thicker and more wet).

I use mask of magnaminty after I have cleansed, usually around once a week, leaving it on for about 15 minutes. You can use it up to 3 times a week, but I usually don’t have the time, so once a week suits me fine. It doesn’t make your skin feel tight and dry when you wash it off, it feels hydrating instead. It is important as with any mask however to moisturise afterwards.

I like to store mine in the fridge so that it’s extra cold when I use it. You can also leave it on a blemish overnight to help reduce inflammation, but be careful with leaving it on any spots that are sore as when you wash it off in the morning it will be dry and is likely to irritate that soreness even more. The huge tub was not necessary for me because I doubt I will make it through all of it before it expires. However, the value for money in comparison to other lush products is really really good. Most of the people who recommend this mask have acne, acne scars or oily skin, so it seems to be a best-selling product for troublesome skin.

A good tip is to remove the product from the tub with a spoon and then apply it to the skin afterwards, preventing the spread of bacteria from your fingers. If you have problematic skin this is particularly important. Also, try to apply the mask in circular motions rather than dragging, to make sure that product is applied evenly and massaged into the skin. Try to be gentle when you are washing it off and hold a flannel over the skin for 5 seconds before wiping, allowing the mask to melt slightly.

Overall, this is my favourite lush product that I have tried for acne. My oiliness decreases slightly after use but mask of magnaminty generally helps me with minimising my pores and preventing acne. I hope you found this post helpful and if you are considering trying this then why not!
