Blue Mask

Freeman's Anti Stress Dead Sea Minerals Mask

I love this mask. THIS stuff. Have you seen it?

The texture, the smell, both are divine, but I'll admit I bought it for the COLOR.

And the effects make it more than worth a purchase.

They have the little one-use samples at a lot of drugstores, but I bought the full tube at Smith's grocery. It was less than $5.

I've had this tube more than a year, using it about once a week, and I still have 1/3 left.

You can smear it on thick or do a thin layer and it will still dry, even in a steamy bath.

It dries up all the nasties---mainly pimples and boils, I haven't noticed it works any wonders on blackheads but definitely makes them temporarily less noticeable.

It smells like a salty oceanish fragrance--I personally like it, though others might find it kind of strong (especially if you're applying it under your nose!). The scent (based on essential oils) is supposed to be the anti-stress part here.

 It has a thick, creamy paste texture and spreads veeeeeeery easily.  It is quite fun to put on. That brilliant turquoise !!

It dries quickly too, between 5-10 minutes depending on your skin and what you're doing. It becomes more sheer as it dries and you can touch it and tell it's not going anywhere.

It can be kind of a pain to scrub off, as merely splashing and running a washcloth over your face will still leave a Smurf-ish tint, so I use a little face loofah thing from The Body Shop and scrub scrub, splash, scrub, and follow up with an exfoliater to get any leftover bits.

Key Ingredients: Kaolin (clay) and sea salt, both intended to purge your skin of all ickies.
This stuff is supposed to dry them out and moisturize and make your skin glow.
Yes to the first and last, but not so much the moisture--this baby dries you out, so follow up with a good cream to maintain that glow.

 This is me right after rinsing the mask off and getting out of the tub, no filter, and icky yellow bathroom lights, terrible iPhone photo. But you get the idea.

And this morning when I woke up those few irritated red pimples were 1/4 their size.

Good stuff, especially considering its availability, and that it costs less than a fiver.
