Every time I visit the USA I find new skin care products. Since I’m not a young lady anymore, my requirements for facial masks have changed. Along with cleansing, I need nourishing and moisturizing. Now I like delicate facial masks with pleasant scents. Those brutal clay masks have been cast aside.Boscia Products are available in Sephora stores.
The full-size tube of Luminizing Black Mask costs about $34.
The mask is black, with a barely perceptible pleasant scent and creamy formula. it’s a bit sticky.
Ingredients:
-Activated Charcoal: Absorbs impurities and excess oil.-Calcium Montmorillonite Clay: Minimizes appearance of pores, absorbs excess oil, impurities, and toxins.-Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside): Brightens skin tone and minimizes fine lines.-Maritime Pine Bark Extract: Improves skin elasticity and hydration.Polyvinyl Alcohol,Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Glycereth-26, ButyleneGlycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Montmorillonite, Polysorbate 20,Acrylates/Palmeth-25 Acrylate Copolymer, Acrylates Copolymer,Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Xanthan Gum, AscorbylGlucoside, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract,Diglycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Extract, EpilobiumAngustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract,Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil,Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Charcoal Powder, Iron Oxides (CI 77499).
It must be applied onto clean skin and left for 30 minutes or more. It’s supposed to form a film which must be removed in one move. I did it a different way and just washed it off with massage movements. It must be removed gradually. At first, one must make an effort, since the mask really turns into film.As a result, I get fresh revitalized skin. The mask can be used right before you go out.
A few notes of mine:
1) I think the mask would go better for ladies in their thirties and older.
2) This mask might be a bit too harsh for sensitive or dry skin.
So, if you’re in your thirties and have oily or combination skin, you might like this facial mask!
