Firstly the scent of it is AMAZING – it has a floral scent, that's not too heavy and reminds me of wandering around orchids and meadows. Since it was a sample, it didn’t have any application directions, so I did a quick google search on my phone. I found the webiste and it said to apply the mask to damp skin, keep it on for about 2-3 minutes, then massage it into your skin, and then rinse off – which is exactly what I did (If I hadn’t googled the application directions I was prepared to keep it on for 20 minutes eek!). Upon application it immediately warms your skin and you feel a tingly sensation which goes away quite quickly. After 3 minutes, I massaged my skin and the gentle exfoliating action felt so therapeutic. I rinsed it off with cold water and went to inspect my skin in the mirror. My skin felt really soft, like a baby’s bottom! I could see that my skin tone looked much more even and not a hint of shininess. I couldn’t really notice an immediate difference in my pores, but I said I would continue to investigate that. I applied the mask at night, and followed it with my usual moisturiser and woke up to amazing looking skin! I went back to Truworths the next weekend and purchased a bottle. I use it religiously now (once or twice a week). One some days it can make my skin a teeny bit dry, so I follow it with a moisturizing mask and the after affects are amazing.
