if you read my other posts, then you'll know that i'm currently obsessed with body shop masks. when i tried the rose one, it seems ordinary. but somehow it grows on me. then my sister got me both the acai and rice one. i was hoping she would give me the rice one since it was always sold out here. but she bought me both. and i didn't know that both are exfoliating mask. hahaa.. anyway, i'm glad now i almost get everything. i bought the honey myself using the birthday discount from body shop.
this is the description from their website: give your skin a new lease of life with our chinese ginseng and rice clarifying polishing mask. inspired by chinese traditions, we have blended ginseng extract, rice extract and sesame seed oil into out 100% vegetarian creamy exfoliating mask, that has been formulated without parabens, paraffin, silicone or mineral oil. use two or three times a week to reveal brighter-looking, even and supple feeling skin.
the packaging: it comes in a cardbox, and i think just like the rest from this line, it's made of recycled paper. the mask comes in a big glass jar. oh it's dark as the rest of the mask in this line, the jar is dark but you can still see the remaining mask inside. it has screw top. without any spatula though.
the scent: okay, upon getting this mask, i've read many reviews about this mask. and everyone seems to praise about the scent of this mask. while me, when i first open the jar, i can smell mix of mint and ginseng scent. and it stings me. after used it couple times, i can't still understand how people said that the scent is marvelous. but, everyone is different, so you might like it like other people do.
the product: the mask is a white cream with grains, rougher than the acai one but not as rough as scrub. it's cooling when freshly applied on skin. but immediately i can feel the heat in about 5 minutes. don't worry though, it's not burning hot. after 10 minutes, i put a little bit of water in my hand and start massaging it. it's not so rough, but i can feel the gritty texture more than acai. no wonder though, since the grainy stuff in this mask is bigger than the acai one. after i finish massaging it, i wash it aff with water and it's easy to wash off.
the result: after washing it off, i can see the brightening effect almost instantly. the brightening effect is temporary of course, but it can hold until the next morning. i also feel that my skin is softer and slightly moisturized.
overall, this is a good exfoliating mask. i can see why people love this mask. it works well as the way it should. but i think it's similar to freeman diamond mineral rinse, so for fun sake, i decided to use the two of them together side by side for comparison. but i will put it on separate post. honestly, i think everyone can try this mask, but you have to be careful if you have sensitive skin. on the other hand, you might want to save your money for something similar since this one is quite pricey, or for me at least. but, if you love exfoliating mask, wash off mask, fond of the body shop, or even vegetarian or cruelty free lover, try this mask.
