Now that spring it’s almost here, it’s time to get my skin ready for sunshine!  Although I suffer from dry skin in the fall, my face is like an oil slick on summer days.  I actually prefer it a little on the dry side because that helps to reduce the amount of breakouts I get. Mud masks are great for perfecting my skin for those make-up free days of spring break and summer vacation.  Adovia sent me their Dead Sea Mud Mask to try.

Adovia’s Mud Mask is ready to use right from the tube.  It’s convenient to apply because you don’t have to dip your fingers into a tub; however, you’ll get dirty enough right away.  It looked like I was ready to play Capture The Flag, doesn’t it?

The tube is said to contain 30 applications.  Truthfully, I would be able to make it last much longer than that!  This will stay right in my shower to use on Saturday mornings when I want to feel like a new woman.  I used two small squeezes for my whole face and neck.   A little goes a long way!

As I’ve said in the past, it’s best to apply a mud mask a few minutes before showering.  You could rinse off with a washcloth but I never feel like I got completely clean that way.  Adovia’s mask contains the highest concentration of Dead Sea Mud (compared to other masks on the market).  It has a strong mud odor that wasn’t really pleasant, but I knew it was for a good cause. It also looks pretty gross when it comes out of the tube. But what did I expect, it’s MUD!!!  The things we do for beauty!  The mask also contains vitamin C, aloe, ginseng, and jojoba oil.  It can be used as a spot treatment if you develop that monthly bump right on your chin, as I always seem to have.

Wearing the mask was a breeze.  I hummed around the bathroom and cleaned up some dirty clothes.  After the mask felt pretty dry, I just washed it off.  My skin was initially a bit red but it soon calmed down.  I wondered if that tight, dry feeling would last but it soon smoothed out into baby soft skin.  It’s a fresh faced feeling now, with a radiance I haven’t enjoyed since I was a lot younger. Don’t you love that Adovia’s products are 100% cruelty free?  They also offer a spectacular 100% satisfaction guarantee.  You have nothing to lose!
