Cactus Skincare White Clay Mask: Review

White Clay Mask: RRP $59.95 for 70g
 

What is is and what it's supposed to do:

This mask can be used just before a night out, or once per week generally. It is supposed to leave skin cleansed and luminous and be refreshing. It is suitable for all skin types. It has a thick moisturiser-type consistency and you just paint it onto your face. 
I found that this product stings quite a lot when you first put it on - its almost a burning sensation for me. When you purchase the sample set this came in, you are warned about this sensation which is great as it would be very distressing if you weren't ready for it. Fortunately it doesn't last long and when it wears off it feels quite nice. They suggest you do a spot test if you are unsure. 
You leave it on for 12-15 minutes. It dries quite stiff but doesn't feel overly tight which is nice. It doesn't have much of a smell which is great.  For more information visit their product description here.

My experience of it:


I found that the day after I used this product my face felt amazingly soft. My husband and I literally could not stop rubbing my cheeks. It was almost a shame to cleanse and moisturise but I wanted to follow the suggested plan to the letter so I could give a relevant review. Left to myself I would probably just leave my face as is because it was incredible!
I used this product twice and my experience was the same both times.


The Verdict:

I think that this is a fantastic product (and arguably the best mask I've every tried). I do think that the stinging/burning sensation might not be for everyone however. For me, it is a trade off, I really don't like the way it feels initially but the long-term pay off is worth the short-term discomfort. It's a big ole' thumbs up from me, in fact it is now on my Christmas wish-list.


Have you tried this product?
What did you think?
Would you use it again?

  1. I ordered the sample kit and love it. My skin is fairly good (but dry) so I have never really had a skin care regime, but after trying this I am going to order the bundle pack!
