Omorovicza is one of my favourite brands and one I quite possibly don't rave about as much as I should do, but it is just amazing. Pronounced Oh - more - o - veet - za the brand is inspired by tradition, guided by nature and spearheading the concept of Mineral Cosmetology. The Omorovicza skincare range has a rich, romantic heritage. It was founded by a young couple, Stephen and Margaret de Heinrich de Omorovicza, who met in Budapest. One of the cult products from the brand is The Queen of Hungry Mist and if you haven't tried it, then you need too.
The product I am raving about today is the Ultramoor Mud Mask which I got in my Beauty Expert Spa Edit bag (review here) and I have been obsessed with it ever since. Described as being a mask which will transform the skin within minutes as it plumps fine lines and tightens collagen fibre as well as ensuring dead skin cells are eliminated for a brighter and more toned complexion. It is perfect for Oily, Combination/Normal skin types. Rich in nourishing Hungarian moor mud, alongside calcium and magnesium compounds which are proven to accelerate healing, you will also find both calcium and magnesium carbonates, humic acid and fulvic acid, which purify and detoxify the skin. Added to that, this mask is also packed full on incredible ingredients such as:
- The essential oils of sage, chamomile, rosemary and rose geranium which have a cooling and antiseptic effect on the skin.
- Marine exopolysaccharides derived from plankton which works to plump fine lines and tighten collagen fibres, providing an immediate lifting, firming effect.
- Hectorite Clay draws out impurities and hydrates the skin.
- A complex of oligopeptides and amino acids gently resurfaces the skin, eliminating dead cells for a brighter, smoother and more even-toned complexion.
Designed to be used once a week, I love that this Mud Mask doesn't dry out my skin leaving it feeling dry and sore after using. Instead, after cleansing my skin to remove any surface dirt and grime, I apply a generous layer of the mask to my skin using the accompanying spatula and leave it for around 20 minutes, by which time it has dried onto my skin, but not so dry my face feels as though it has been set in concrete. If you have tried any other mud masks before, you will know that their aim is to suck out all the impurities within the skin, what makes this one different is that it does just that but doesn't strip the skin whilst doing it. Instead, once the masks has been removed, preferably with a clean cloth and warm water, my skin felt just as it does after a facial with how clean and bright my skin looks.
Priced at £68 (here) for me it is worth every single penny because of how incredible well it cleans my skin, removes a lot of gunk and doesn't make my skin break out or become dry and uncomfortable.
