So one thing that I have to say about this mask is that I'm glad I only got a sample of this because unless it would have been free it would have never been in my possession. This mask doesn't really do me any justice, and I honestly don't get anything out of it. I think this would only work for maybe someone with dryer skin. I'm actually glad that I finally finished the sample so I could throw it away. I definitely prefer masks that harden because then I feel the satisfaction that it will dry up my existing blemishes. I would not recommend this at all because I didn't see any benefits from it. My skin didn't feel tighter, my pores didn't look smaller, and most definitely none of my blemishes dried up in the least bit. So this review rounds off the last of my posts for the body shop's tea tree oil line. Next are some products from their seaweed line, so stay tuned! Enjoy!
Price: $15.00USD (+10% off w/TBS Card)
Amount: 3.85 oz./110gm./100ml.
Do I Love This?: Not really, I prefer hardening masks to help dry out any blemishes.
Recession Seal: Denied. This mask does less than a less expensive mask would do, for example Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque.
What The Body Shop says about their product: "The Body Shop® difference: When the seasons change, so can your skin — and sometimes not for the better.

Where To Buy: (The Body Shop stores or here.)
If you do plan on checking out the body shop I very much recommend getting a membership card with them! You will definitely not regret it. It's about a $10 yearly charge and you will save so much money on discounts/sales/events and occasionally even free products when you rack up points. And since I buy pretty much all my skin care stuff from there I've racked up quite a few points.

Hey, I work at the Body Shop. I dont know if you've tried, but get a sample of the Seaweed Mask. I love it. It reduces pore size and is a clay mask, but itsnt too drying. Just my opinion :D
