It occurred to me when applying one of my favourite face masks last week that for some reason I hadn't yet done a solo review on it, so I quickly ran downstairs and took a photo (it was midnight and my boyfriend thought I was crazy!).
The AESOP Parsley Seed Mask is a an 'anti-oxidant clarifying masque' and the three main ingredients are parsley seed, evening primrose and rosehip seed. It feels like a clay mask when you apply it, but thinner and more watery than others I have. You apply a thin layer all over your face after cleansing which feels really cooling and then leave it on for 15 minutes. The mask slowly hardens and dries in funny patches. I also find that when the mask is dry it clearly shows the problem areas on your skin which for me is the dehydration around my nose and OMG can you see the holes all over my nose?! GROSS.
After washing this off it does feel a little tight (on dehydrated skin like mine) but it also feels really deeply cleansed and refreshed. After applying moisturiser all the tightness goes away so I don't mind that. I also use this as a spot treatment on certain problem areas if I don't have time to apply it all over.
I personally love it, it seems to be lasting a very long time and the very handy tube packaging is pretty to look at.
Have you tried this mask?

I'd really like to try this facial mask but I'm afraid it won't be right for my super dry skin. Masks that dry or clay mask are something a little to harsh for my skin :( it's silly because I really want to try this out. I'm always having a hard time finding the perfect facial mask.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! :D

I really struggle with clay style masks, they seem to irritate my skin, but as this is thinner it might work better for me. I'll have to give it a go x

ReplyDeleteDo you find it helps with blemishes and spot scars, etc? Have been tempted to use it in the past but worried it won't do much for me...

You had a facemask on at midnight?! You are very dedicated, I salute you! I haven't tried this but it sounds great, with some masks you can just feel like they do nothing at all or break you out, and I'm never sure whether they're "drawing out the impurities" or my skin just doesn't like it.. haha!
ReplyDeleteEleanor x
really want to try this! x

Gosh, I've been dying to try this! I have combo/oily acne-prone skin that's often in need of purifying, but am near 30 years old and the typical acne masks are usually too harsh. This sounds just right! And the texture looks totally unique. Thanks for sharing! :)
