Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask Review

Having won the Allure Editors Choice Best of Beauty Awards in 2008 for Best Deep Cleansing Mask and with rave reviews from the sales assistant who recommended this to me, i had high hopes from the start for this face mask. Falling victim to a few spots recently, I wanted a product that would deep cleanse my skin inside out and leave me with the cleanest face in the West!

What is it?

A five minute face mask which can be used in a thin layer daily to tackle issues with both dry and oily skin types or a thick layer can be used once or twice a week to maintain unclogged pores and firm hydrated skin.

Where can i buy it and how much does it cost?

I got mine from Space.NK and it cost £29.00

How do you use it?

Just dispense some of the product out using the mess-free pump. It comes out in a thick creamy consistency so its really easy to apply all over your face, avoid getting any on your eyebrows because apparently it can lighten them! Apply a thick layer if you are using it once or twice a week and a thin layer if you want to use it daily to correct particularly oily or dry skin. Upon application it will turn to a foam all over your face, leave it for five minutes then rinse of with warm water or simply wipe off without water for a more hydrating effect.

What does it do?

This face mask gives your pores a really deep cleanse, it lifts away all impurities like dirt, oil and makeup residue, leaving you with spangly clean skin! It also creates a hydrating barrier for your face and contains soy protein which has anti-ageing properties and helps firm your skin.

What does Porscha think?

This isn't your average face mask, this is an innovative product and is a far cry from the £1.99 face masks in sachets you can pick up in Superdrug! If you are looking for something noticeably effective then you must try this.

After just the first time using this, i wiped it off with warm water to find my face looked so...clean! Yes my face is clean all the time but this was a new level of clean! I have to say i found the foaming action of this mask rather amusing, it puffs right out and adds about half an inch thickness to your face but it is certainly gentle. I barely feel like i have anything on my face for the five minutes its on. Also because it does only take five minutes its not something you'd have to meticulously plan out when you want to use it, you can just slap it on before or after your shower in the morning or evening and you're done.

I like the fact that it is ideal for all skin types and can help rebalance particularly oily or dry skin. I also like the lotion-esque consistency of this product when it comes out of the pump, it makes it such a pleasure to apply and certainly beats the too light serum type masks and the way too heavy clay type masks. It's only drawback is the price, it isn't cheap at £29.00 a pop for an 118ml bottle considering that you need to cover your whole face in a thick layer of the stuff i doubt it will last a particularly long time.

Overall this is an effective product but not an essential thing to have in your bathroom cabinet, this is more of a luxury product or something i'd recommend you use if you are having some problems with your skin.
