If you've been here before or follow my Instagram account (@katshepsutt), you'll know that I'm pretty mad keen on simple home face treatments - sheet masks in particular for my Sunday treat, and there's usually quite a few descriptions and pics in my Empties posts every month. But I've also been reaping the benefits of a mid-week cream masque - the combination of the two different styles is keeping my complexion fresh, clear and hydrated. Interestingly I haven't reviewed many cream-style masques over the years mainly because I find a pot or tube will last me 12 months or more, and so I don't tend to buy/try many in case they go off or dry up. My latest discovery though deserves its own page 'cos it's just so darn good - Nutrimetics Mineral Clay Masque with Apricot Extract & Soybean Oil ♥...
Clay masques are my absolute favourite for deep cleansing & pore refining - there's something about the kaolin and bentonite that draws out the goop from any clogged pores, which always look a bit smaller afterwards (bonus!). I've been using this one religiously every week for around two months, and my complexion is certainly the better for it - more refined, refreshed and becalmed. The cream is a pale caramel colour - far less frightening if you're spotted mid-treatment, and while the consistency is thick and rich, it spreads effortlessly. The scent is very faint, earthy and organic, and there's no added fragrance listed in the ingredients ♥...
Apart from water, the formula contains kaolin, zinc oxide, bentonite, glycerin, burdock, verbena & apricot extract, and soybean oil - some of these inclusions are known to assist with troubled skin, whether it be dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema or acne, none of which I'm blessed to NOT be dealing with, but I sometimes experience dry patches or flaky areas, all of which have vanished since I started including this baby in my regime ♥...
Below you can see the density and skin flattering colour of the cream on the left - the pic on the right was taken after 30 minutes, almost completely dry, and you can probably guess why I didn't photograph this on my face lol! After rinsing with a soft cloth and warm water, my skin is ridiculously soft, deeply cleansed, and even more ready to absorb the rest of my skin care products ♥...
The packaging is the simple and elegant standard presentation from Nutrimetics - a tube with a flip top cap, which I far prefer to a jar for both ease of dispensing, as well as protection from contamination, and reduced chances of the product drying out ♥...
The tube is 125ml and the RRP is $40 - as with all my Nutrimetics product purchases, I picked this up on special for almost half that. I was so impressed after the first couple of uses, I ordered another one stat, and I'm giving it away to one of you lovelies who'd like to try it ♥...
