Facemasking is one of my favourite downtime activities, I know that once the facemask of choice has been applied, then I am giving myself some time out to relax and unwind. I have just finished using this tube of I'm From Mugwort Mask, which I got from Tonic15 and I absolutely love it.
The I'm From brand is one I am a little familiar with, I shared the brands Rice Toner on my blog earlier this year. This mask is described as being a gentle wash-off mask that helps calm and soothe irritated, sensitive and troubled skin, this mask is formulated with Mugwort which has been harvested from Ganghwa County in Korea.
Admittedly, I had no idea what Mugwort was until I started using this mask, but I am told it is a natural herb which is really rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals which help and work to restore, soothe, and detoxify the skin.
I really like the texture of this mask, it is thick and goopy and for me, I apply it using a spatula from another product to ensure I get an even coverage, but it applies really smoothly onto the skin. As with any mask, this one should be used on freshly cleansed skin, the mask, which doesn't dry hard, needs just 5-10 minutes on the skin before you wash it off with warm water.
This mask doesn't have a sweet or strong floral smell, it is actually much more earthy and because there are bits of Mugwort within the mask itself, so on the skin, it is visible, but its how the skin feels afterwards which is important. For me, whilst I don't dislike or love the scent, what I love is how smooth and clean my skin feels after using and with no irritations too, which is always a bonus.
This tube costs just £8 here and I managed to get 6 uses out of it for my face which is quit something. There are also other sized options available and it comes in a glass pot.
