Ego QV Face Purifying Mask

State-of-the-Art Mask! – This Purifying Mask from QV is a gentle and worthwhile addition to the QV Face range. Unlike most facial masks or face packs on the market which contain plenty of irritating ingredients like menthol, essential oils, alcohol etc, this mask from QV is indeed purifying but at the same time very gentle and mild. With skin-care there are more don'ts than do's actually. The QV Face Range with its effective no-frills sensitive skin skin-care formulas in mind they fulfill these basic steps like cleansing, toning and moisturising just beautifully. As for the mask itself it comes in convenient tube that comes out fairly easily and can be applied with fingers or a mask brush. Leave on damp skin until it dries and rinse off at the basin or in the shower (warm water only please!). This can also be removed with cellulose cleansing sponges should you so desire. Be careful without how much you appy, whilst this can be applied generously, I personally hate to waste product and prefer to layer a nice thin layer all over and let dry. A thin layer will work just as well as a thick layer. Should you feel the need to leave it on longer than necessary, just occasionally spritz yourself with facial water/toner or spray to re-activate the mask then remove when you please.

The active ingredients include Kaolin (Clay) for drawing out excess oil and impurities. Mineral Oil and Safflower Oil for moisturising, occlusive and nourishing properties and finally antioxidants like Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Vitamin E ( Tocepherol).

I'd like to clearly make the point here that most clay masks leave skin feeling abnormally taught and dry. Yes they are designed to wick away excess oil they should not leave the skin parched and gagging for moisture! Upon removal of this mask you will be left with smooth, bright, supple skin. This has become a daily staple in my routine and recommend it wholeheartedly to all friends and family. Thanks QV!

Gentle, great ingredients – Contains kaolin clay which is great for excess sebum production. Great for people with sensitive and acne prone skin. Contains safflower oil which is moisturising and is non-comedogenic. Overall excellent and affordable ($10)

Perfect for normal/oily/combination and hyper sensitive skin! – If you're like me who has sensitive skin that reacts against most products that are supposed to be natural and sensitive skin-friendly, I definitely recommend you to give it a try. The clay feels so light that almost make you forget that it's on your face. I usually get irritation from masks, leaving my cheek red and itchy, so I was initially a bit worried I might get the reaction from it, but no, nothing. I left it on a bit too long so my skin felt slightly dry, but it felt so sqeaky clean- wow!!!

I let my hubby use it since he has this oily, acne-prone skin that's also sensitive. The result was just as I expected. It control the oil on his face, left his skin so clean and soft. He loved it. It's just what we needed! Gentle, reliable and cheap Could be too drying for dry skin, but no problem if they use a bit more moisturizers afterwards.
