Camellia Rose Exfoliating Wash Off Mask

Although the description of this mask notes that it helps control oily skin, my face is dry, dry, dry and I love this mask. While the SB Tester program was going on, I tested a reformulation of the original product. Honestly, it was NOT my favorite mask before, but now? After this reformulation, it is. I even bought an EXTRA tester! It leaves my skin incredibly soft and there are slight exfoliating scrubbies in the mask. It does not have an overpowering scent and unlike some rose products, it doesn't have that fake-y artificial smell. Really, truly get this mask. As I think of it, I do not know why I am writing this review as more people will buy it meaning LESS FOR ME!!!! But seriously, this mask is great and I was not paid for this review. Get you some!

This mask is just fabulous. The consistency is luxurious, and as you wash it off you also get exfoliation. It is the perfect mask for the summer months because of the hydration, and tbh the rest of the year too. It made my skin bright and reduced redness almost immediately after washing it off. It also smells lovely and a little bit goes a long way so you won’t run out quickly. I like to use it about once a week since it exfoliates too.

This mask is one of my two favorite. First, it's so easy to apply and has a light floral scent. This Southern lady loves her some florals, so I revel in it. But most importantly, this mask polishes my skin while hydrating it. I have dry skin (starting to have some signs of early aging) but I also have need for polishing because the skin on my cheeks can get a little rough or bumpy. Not acne. Mild keratosis maybe? Anyhow, I use it about every other week (mostly because I get lazy) and it smooths out any new roughness or unwanted texture. It also hydrates, so my skin doesn't go mad from the exfoliation process. While I always follow up with my normal skin care routine, I don't feel like my skin is cracked or thirsty. Great mask!

Age 40+ w/ start of nasolabial folds, loss of elasticity and collagen, some settling of 11's, horizontal forehead wrinkles. Skin was oily for most of my life and now settled into combination. I saw the video that advertises this mask and was very excited, got two tester sizes! I wish I hadn't, because I've used it 4x already and this has had no noticeable effect on me. Maybe helps if you have very dehydrated skin and no other way to exfoliate your skin, but there are so many ways to moisturize and exfoliate! I would rather have a mask that doesn't separate into layers and require me making a bit of a mess mixing the ingredients, in any case. (And I'm not the kind of person who will buy a mask because it's a nice luxurious experience to smell like roses for half an hour.)

I'm a big fan of camellia rose; it gently exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling soft. However, the reviews about its scent are true--if you like fairly strong scents, this one is pleasant and rosy. I find it too strong and have to be careful about when I use this mask as a result (but I'm not a big scent person in life!).
