Epoch Mud Mask Review

On one of my previous blog posts reviewing the Nu Skin foundation I mentioned how my friend, Chloe, gave me a free sample pot of the natural mud mask that she sells. I have to say that this is by far my favourite face mask I have ever tried!

It has a clay like texture that applies very smoothly and evenly across the skin and I was also really impressed with how little of the product  I needed to use to spread all over my face. Chloe only gave me a small sample but I have managed to get 2 whole masks out of it so I can't even imagine how long a proper tub would last! Fantastic value for money.

It dried very quickly on my face and made the skin feel very tight which was really refreshing. It was amazing at how I could actually see tiny oily dots bursting through the dried mud mask showing me how the mask is actually drawing out all the dirt from my skin!

It really showed me the areas of my face that get clogged up and dirty easily meaning I'm focusing more of deep cleaning those areas with exfoliators.

I kept my mud mask on for about 10-15 minutes to make sure my skin had enough time to draw out all the dirt and muck from out of my pours.

You can see quite clearly along my nose, t-zone and a couple of spots around my mouth dots of oil where the mud mask has drawn impurities out of my skin

After washing off the mud mask with a flannel and hot water I could instantly feel a huge difference. My skin felt so silky and much smoother than it has before. It almost felt as though a a new layer of soft skin had been uncovered. My pours were visibly more unclogged and began tightening up again.

Epoch Mud Mask- £26

Knowing that the Epoch mud mask only uses natural ingredients means I can trust this product to be used on my skin over and over without worrying about any chemical damage. It's so good using natural ingredients to feed your skin with nutrients and vitamins!

Once a week to anybody! It is without a doubt one of the best products I have used to buff up my skin, especially with these hot summer days!

Silky smooth summer legs!

It's coming up to the summer season where it's all about skirts, shorts, dresses and cute playsuits so it's super important to get those legs silky smooth and summer ready.

It's dead easy to achieve beautifully smooth legs. It's best to shave your legs when you're in a warm shower or bath to soften the skin, First it's all about exfoliating. I use Lush Ocean Salt face and body scrub on my wet legs with exfoliating gloves to remove as much dead and dry skin as I can before shaving and wash off the scrub with warm water.
It's then time to prep your skin for shaving by using either a shaving foam or a personal favourite of mine is to use a hair conditioner! Now it's time to start shaving. It's best to use a really good quality razor, not a disposable one as they're less damaging to the skin and provide a better, closer shave. I use Venus razors with Olay Moisture Bar heads as these leave my skin irresistibly smooth and cut the hairs very close.
Start shaving from the bottom of you ankle gliding the razor all the way to the top of you knee and continue all the way around until you calf and shin is complete, then repeat for the thighs ensureing you don't miss any hairs. Remember to rinse the shaver head every stroke or two to try and avoid the razor head getting clogged up and ensure a closer shave. 

Once you've shaved your legs and are happy with the result its very important to moisturise afterwards to hydrate the skin and repair and damage to the skin. I prefer to use a thick body butter for this as I feel it really feeds the skin. This will also help reduce shaving rash!

So there we go ladies, the perfect guide to perfect summer legs!
