This mask reminds me very much like the
discontinued Jeju Fermented Leaven Mask in its texture ~ very creamy and
fermented. Now to me, the scent is really nice – a woody-sweet-spice
scent, which after looking at the ingredients, I can see where that is
coming from. This has a lot of oils in it ~ spice and wood notes of
pine, rosemary, lavender, nutmeg, ginger, thyme, clove, cypress along
with citrus and citrus-smelling oils, like bergamot, may chang, citron,
lemon, grapefruit, orange and tangerine. The scent also has a bit of a
“boozy” fermented aroma to it, which is most likely due to the grains in
this product. Some people might really hate this scent, but I love it ~
I really enjoy fermented scents like this. This mask has a very thick and creamy
texture, with bits of oat and grain flecked through-out it which I think
will be good for a very delicate and gentle exfoliation. After applying to my face, I was very
surprised at how very cool and refreshing this is on my skin ~ that was
unexpected, but I supposed this is due to the spearmint oil in here. I
had this on for about 10 minutes and it doesn’t dry down completely. It
gets a bit gummy and the bits of the oat and quinoa turn white as they
dry.
I have oily skin, so I feel that
this mask is better suited for when my skin is chapped or dry from the
cold winter winds and air. It is very soothing, yet refreshing at the
same time and it doesn’t dry out my skin, but actually adds moisture.
It provides a light exfoliation action with the seeds and oats, so if
you have dry or sensitive skin, this mask could be the one that you
might like to use. I also felt this helped clear out my pores and
whereas it didn’t tighten it as much as the Peppermint Clay mask did, it
did improve the texture of my skin and my skin did feel very soft and
smooth.
