Pure & Essential Minerals | Dead Sea Mud Mask Review

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Thursday! Today I am excited to share a review of a new-to-me product from Pure & Essential Minerals. I’ve tried a few face masks over the past few years, but I’ve never tried a mud mask until receiving this one. When I got the opportunity to test out the Dead Sea Mud Mask, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was a bit hesitant, but I cannot wait to share my experience with you!

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Pure & Essential Minerals | Dead Sea Mud Mask ReviewThe Dead Sea Mud Mask is exactly what it sounds like – it contains pure dead sea mud! It is designed to draw out excess oils and impurities, and leave your face clean, fresh, and blemish free. The mask also has anti-aging properties, as it tightens pores and reduces wrinkles. Plus, this product can be used on the face or body, or to spot treat acne. It is really an all-around product that can be used to suit your needs!

Pure & Essential Minerals | Deep Sea Mud Mask ReviewHere is a quick look at the mask itself. It did have a slight odor, but the mask is definitely not fragranced. I did want to mention the slight scent just in case you have a sensitivity, but I’m sure the odor comes from the product’s natural ingredients.

MY EXPERIENCE

I really did have quite the experience with this mask! Let me start out with describing the texture – it is gloopy and slippery, and felt like what I always imagined Flubber would. That turned me off a little, so in the future I might use a mini spatula to help me out with application. Nonetheless, as I applied the mask, my skin began to react instantaneously. It was tingling, cooling, and burning all at the same time. I got a bit worried for a minute – was I having a reaction?! But I waited it out and after about 1-2 minutes the mask felt amazing. Yes, amazing. My face felt cooled and comfortable, and the mask slowly dried in about 10-15 minutes. I carefully rinsed my face, and couldn’t believe how great I felt afterwards! My skin was glowing and looked really clean and healthy! What the heck had I just been though?!

As you can see, I really had an interesting experience with the Dead Sea Mud Mask. It is very intense at first, so if you have very sensitive skin I would not recommend it. That being said, I absolutely loved the result, and felt hooked on the product after just one use. I’m definitely going to be using this at least twice a month to ensure I clean out my pores. This mask is truly invigorating!

WHERE TO BUY

You can purchase the Pure & Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask on Amazon HERE. As I type this post, the mask is on sale for just $24.77 (reduced from $59.99). Not only do you get a huge 6oz tub of product to last you a very long time, but each order comes with a free ebook called The Natural Skincare Guide to help get your skincare routine in tip top shape. I’d say that’s a great deal for such a luxurious product! If you’ve tried out a mud mask before, please share your thoughts in the comments! I would love to hear about your experiences!

Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap Review

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Happy Friday! One of my favorite types of products to try out is bar soap. In fact, you may have seen me feature some awesome bar soaps in my monthly favorites posts! I just love testing out new brands and scents, so when I got the opportunity to review the Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap from Adovia, I couldn’t wait to give it a try! Let me tell you more about this soap, and share my experience with you.

Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud SoapThe Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap is a soap enriched with century old Dead Sea mud that infuses your skin with minerals to keep it hydrated while it cleanses at the same time. It can be used on your body and face, but should not be used to wash your eyes. I wanted to try this soap because it is advertised to be great for acne, and it’s all natural. In April, I got a nasty breakout along my jawline and on my upper back (sorry if this is a bit personal, but hey, we’re all friends here!) I was really hoping this Adovia soap would help clear up my breakout!

Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud SoapWhen I first got the soap, I loved the fresh and clean scent! It was strong during my first use, but died down significantly after that. I was so disappointed! However, if you don’t like strong smelling soaps, that might be a plus for you. I’ve used this bar of soap all up in the shower over a course of three weeks. I was really impressed that the soap lasted that long, as I usually use up a bar of soap in 1-2 weeks. I am happy to report that my back is clear of all the acne I had. My jawline, on the other hand, is still not 100% clear. I did see a small improvement, but my acne is definitely still there. That may be due to me using a lot of products, such as moisturizers, sunscreen, or makeup on my face, but I still would have liked that acne to disappear as well.

All in all, I did like the Adovia Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap. I like using an all natural product, and I’m glad it cleared up the acne on my back. I do wish that the clean scent was stronger, and lasted for the entire use of the bar of soap. If you are looking for a gentle soap that will help with your acne, I do recommend this, but know that it is a little bit of a splurge at $16.00 retail. This is a good product to keep on hand for when you suffer an acne breakout, but maybe not for every day use. You can purchase the Advoia soap on Amazon HERE. Let me know if you’ve ever tried a specialty soap for acne in the comments!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
