I washed it off after five minutes and my skin felt velvet soft and deeply cleansed. More than just a cleanser, this is a beauty ritual in a tub, which will transform the condition of your skin. It was sticky and spread quickly as I rubbed it on. I wet my face and hands, using about a teaspoonful of cleansing mud and made a paste, gently massaging it onto my skin. This mask smells earthy and rich with a musky scent that is just gorgeous. Rose petals and rose water give it a lovely romantic scent. For good measure, Rose Cleansing Mud also consists of Witch hazel that contains amazing antiseptic properties, not forgetting Kelp, Buttermilk and Vanilla powders that eliminate and help flush those nasty toxins. The other potent ingredient is Red Clay also from Morocco, with natural exfoliants, which gently removes dry and dead skin cells. It strongly absorbs all the bad stuff, and cleanses, targeting those deep down impurities, leaving your skin revitalised and conditioned, naturally improving the texture of the skin. Ideal for all skin types, it is pumped with minerals such as silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium. This Spa quality clay is one of the most perfect clays in the world. Rhassoul Clay comes from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. When I first opened the tin, I was confused at the colour of this dark earthy stuff, but that’s because it is so heavily crammed with the best beauty clays on earth. As the dark winds dry the skin and the winter frost chaps the lips, what better way to relax and rejuvenate than to treat yourself to a luxurious facial mask? The winter season is already taking its toll on my skin and wellbeing, so I decided to treat myself to a pot of rose cleansing mud by the Irish beauty brand - Pixy.
