First
of all, the brand. Nude was created by Bryan Meehan and Ali Hewson.
Bryan was the creator of the Fresh&Wild natural health food stores
around London. Together, Bryan and Ali wanted to create a skincare brand
that is high-performance, luxury and of course, all-natural. I think
the brand very nicely combines the two aspects that before were
considered to be opposites: it is natural and luxury. I love the
packaging of the brand: it is simple, clean, modern and feels so nice to
the touch. The products are affordable but they look and feel like
high-end stuff, and deliver the promised results too! The products
consist of natural ingredients, with some interesting stuff. They are free from
the nasties like parabens, Sulphates, PEGs, TEAs, DEAs, Propylene
Glycol, Phthalates, GMOs, Mineral Oils and Silicones. It should be
noted that the brand openly declares that they use a small amount of
what they researched to be safe and non-irritating synthetic
preservative ingredients. All of these ingredients are clearly stated on
their labels.
Now, the product:
This mask is formulated for normal to oily skin, and would suit anyone with congested skin or suffering from spots. The mask is dark grey colour, and has a beautiful mousse consistency. This was one of the things I was particularly impressed with: unlike other kaolin clay masks, the consistency of the mask felt soft and non-drying. It goes on like a dream: very smooth and almost glides onto your skin. The main ingredient of the face mask is kaolin clay which absorb excess oils and impurities and helps to gently exfoliate. The mask also contains propolis, which has fantastic purifying and healing properties. The other great thing about this face mask is that it works as an exfoliator too. The gentle beads exfoliate the skin when you wash the mask off, making it a brilliant 2 in 1 product (i.e. I skip buying an exfoliator now...).
In all honesty, if used once or twice per week, this mask (unlike any other I have tried), really de-congests the skin, revealing more glowing and healthy-looking skin. I cannot promise you that it will solve all your skin problems, but I don't believe that any one external product really can (i.e. a lot of how your skin looks depends on what you are eating and how you are feeling). But what I have noticed is that it really improves the condition of the skin, gently purifying it as well as healing any spots etc. It is very easy to use and wash off, making it a pleasant part of a weekly beauty routine!
