What is it about face masks that are so fun? I just did a poll over on Instagram yesterday and it looks like I'm not the only one who loves them so much!
Face masks are one of my favorite ways to relax and feel like I'm really pampering my skin + giving it a deep clean. I'm partnering with Vivo Per Lei on this post to share my experience with one of their luxurious face masks!
I have really been digging charcoal masks lately so I was immediately drawn to this Mineral Mud Mask by Vivo Per Lei. (You can see another charcoal mask I've tried here!)
The two main active ingredients in this mask are Kaolin Clay + Bamboo Charcoal.
I'm already sold on the benefits of Charcoal in skincare. Bamboo Charcoal works to pull impurities and excess oil out of the skin like a magnet. (Kind of amazing, right??)
Kaolin Clay was a new skincare ingredient for me to learn about. I'm so glad I did some research because there are actually so many benefits to using Kaolin Clay in skincare! It is apparently a very gentle clay and suitable for all skin types. Similar to Charcoal, Kaolin Clay works to pull impurities from pores. Other benefits of Kaolin Clay are that it helps with oily skin, is exfoliating and can be used to tone and tighten skin as well!
How beautiful is this mask? It almost felt too pretty to dig my fingers into! It was a lot creamier and softer than I expected which I loved and it went on feeling very smooth, soothing + luxurious.
I have very sensitive skin. I have definitely broken out in hives a few times after a face mask. The instructions said to leave this mask on for 15-20 minutes. I ended up leaving it on longer because I was working (I work from home, don't worry!) and lost track of time.
Praise Jesus, my skin did not have any negative reaction to this mask! I loved that even though the mask did dry somewhat, it didn't cake up really hard like some do.
It was so much more gentle and moisturizing than I expected from a mud mask! My face was a little pink after I washed it off but my skin immediately felt plump and hydrated! Have you ever used a skincare product and you just keep looking at yourself in the mirror that day like, dayyyum my skin looks good? (Haha, or is that just me??) Well, that's what I did after using this mask for the first time! My skin was absolutely glowing and looked so silky + youthful!
The first drugstore charcoal skincare product that I tried a couple years ago didn't wow me so I was kind of left thinking that the whole "charcoal hype" was a little overrated.
I have since found with more experimentation that if you find a good quality charcoal skincare product, it does work and it's actually pretty fascinating to see!
I have somewhat acne prone skin and my pores really get clogged up. (Ew.) After using this face mask for the first time, I had so many blackheads come straight to the surface. It also loosened up a lovely painful pimple I had on my chin... (thanks hormones!)

These might honestly be the most hilarious set of photos of me to ever grace the blog!
Overall, I'm really impressed with this mask by Vivo Per Lei and I'm looking forward to many more skin detoxes in my future!
Have you tried any Charcoal or Kaolin Clay face masks yet? I'd love to hear your experience with them below!

ReplyDeleteLove Clay and Charcoal when my skin is getting overly oily.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a mask before! Being a mom to a big family kind of made it hard to really take me time and do things for myself. I really need to start though, I'm 32 and am starting to see fine wrinkles and inperfections I didn't really notice before. Excited to try one now that I've read these experiences!!

ReplyDeleteI have not tried the charcoal mask, but I would love to because I have heard spectacular things about it and your other products. Masks have certainly improved since I used to use them back in the 80's and 90's. I stopped using them until recently because they only made my face break out when I used them years ago!
ReplyDeleteI would like to use that mask!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the charcoal mask haven't ever tried one before...
ReplyDeletelooks very interesting. i have to try this.
ReplyDeleteThis post is going to make me do a facial today. I haven't given myself one in about a year. Since it is very cold and dry, I think my skin would benefit from one right now.
ReplyDeleteHve tried many things to have that youthful look again,,would love to try this!! Rhonda Miller
ReplyDeleteI have not yet tried these masks, but I am intrigued. My daughter went to a mud mask facial party at her ffriend's house, and had a blast! I would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteWould really like to try the Vit. C eye moisturizer and also the clay mask!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the mud mask especially. Its so good for your skin!
ReplyDeleteI would like this product to pull the impurities and excess oil out of my skin.
ReplyDeleteI have oily skin. This would help my skin a lot I hope.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I've never heard of bamboo charcoal before in mud masks. Makes sense though. As a woman in my 50's this would be great for my skin. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great mask. I would really love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried these yet, but bamboo charcoal is new to me and I love that you said it pulls out impurities like a magnet!
ReplyDeleteThis mask sounds amazing!!! I'd love to try it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried either one but now I am curious to see how they improve my skin.
ReplyDeleteI feel like anything with charcoal works 20x better!
