Borghese Active Fango Mud Mask

A while ago, in fact in this post, I gave Borghese Active Fango Mud Mask a not so good review. After reading Fleur De Force rave about it - her post was titled Blackheads Be Gone - claiming it was the best thing for blackheads I bought it straight away and was not impressed. Today I'm eating my words.
I've gone back to this mask recently in an effort to sort my skin out and I have to admit that I am really pleased with the results. I don't know whether I just didn't give it a fair trial last time or if its because my skin type has altered slightly but whatever happened, I'm glad.

When I use the mud mask it dries nicely into my skin and I can really feel it working something. I must point out that it is quite strong so I only use it on my problematic areas (nose and chin).
I wash it off with warm water and a face cloth and my skin is honestly just SO silky soft and in the morning my skin looks clearer and cleaner. After a few uses I have noticed a small - but increasing - difference. 
The mask itself is a thick clay like mud and a little goes a long way.

I look forward to a happy future with this mask by my side! 

You can buy Borghese Active Fango Mud Mask for face and body here for £54.00 but it can be found for a much nicer price on eBay!

Have you tried this? What are your thoughts?

Until next time

Borghese Fango Active Mud Review

Hello

I am reviewing the Borghese Fango active mud for face and body today and I have to say, first impressions are not good. 

I bought this on mission to defeat black heads after reading this brilliant review on Fluer De Force's blog. 

I figured if it worked for her it would work for me but alas, like so many other products which claim to reduce or clear black heads, this failed for me. 

The price is ridiculous for the tiny tube although you don't need much so I guess if you find it works for you then the paying up to £35 is totally worth it. I picked this up from eBay for £21.00.  

The packaging itself is super cute. I really like the simple yet attractive design and it just makes me want to display it in my bathroom. It has the feel of a luxury product - granted, it is sort of luxury priced) - which is always great.

As you can see it is a very muddy colour and is full on coverage. It has a strong smell to it which I'm not to sure how to describe but I like it. It makes me feel like I'm in a spa. 

It is also very strong to sensitive skin, if like me your skin is even slightly sensitive, I would only use this mask on the areas it is needed. 

I apply this to my nose and chin only, but I do use a generous amount and I can definitely feel it working, unfortunately after I wash it off there is no immediate or long term difference. Sigh.. 

I don't feel very qualified to be reviewing this in detail because I'm no expert on skin care, nor am I clued up on face mask ingredients  I usually just stick to whatever I can find in Holland & Barrett.

Overall, I look the look and feel but it doesn't quite work for me. I'd recommend if you like a luxury feel, have the time and money to spend on using this regularly but don't have too many black heads to fix. 

That's all I've got for now I'm afraid. I hope this helped as this review has been a long time coming. 

Until next time
