Review- Lush love lettuce fresh face mask

Product: Lush love lettuce fresh face mask


Price: £4.95 for 75g or £6.45 for 75g online

What they say: An effective, exfoliating face mask which gives normal to oily skin a softened smoothed and radiat glow. Polishing almond shell is balanced by the skin softening qualities of almond oil and seaweed gel. With soothing lavender essential oil and the cleansing, tightening action of Fuller's Earth, you'll feel fresh in no time. Apply to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave for five to ten minutes, then rinse with warm water massaging gently. Keep chilled.

What I think: I really liked this facemask. The first thing you notice when you open the pot is the lovely herbal smell which made it seem really fresh and natural.As you can see from the photo its a thick paste with lots of exfoliating granules in it. When I applied it to my face it slowly dried, tightening as it did so, so you can really feel it working. Its got lots of exfoliating granules (too much if anything) so you can give your skin a good scrub afterwards. Personally I felt that there were too many granules and would have preferred a smoother mask but thats just me being fussy and I ended up gently exfoliating then washing the rest away or using it to exfoliate my hand and arms.



I also found it very good at drying out and calming any spots I had. I had 2 really obvious spots on my skin which I couldn't resist picking, which of course made them red and inflammed. In desperation I applied a blob of this and straight away it looked less red and by the next day it was much less obvious.

Like all the other fresh facemasks it needs to be kept in the fridge and has a use by date. The use by date is normally a few weeks after purchasing and personally I really struggled to use up all the product before it went off and I ended up freezing some of it.

Rating: 8/10

Would I repurchase: Yes definitely, although I'd like to try a few more fresh face masks first.
