Queen Helene : Mint Julep Masque

Good for people that have very oily skin that are prone to breakouts. I use it on and off when I really need it. I use the one in the jar.

I started using this about a month ago out of curiosity and reading some reviews on here. Upon my first few uses I noticed a difference, I had a pretty nasty spot on my chin and it cleared it up within a little less than 2 days (when used in conjunction with benzomyocin gel). I've used everything from proactiv to organic stuff, and I'd have to say this is one of the best so far! You have to give it some time seeing as everyone is different and it might take a few days to clear things up properly. But it works very well for me as well as my 17 year old sister who has moderately severe acne.

People have different acne. Cystic, mild, etc. This may or may not be the product for you, but I suggest that everyone try it once. Yea, it might not show immediate results, but if you are consistent with it, your skin will be smooth and soft and beautiful. Remember, acne does not completely go away in one night, one week or even one month. But this product showed immediate softness, purged my blackheads, and shrinked my pimples. Apply this masque on every week and just drink lots of water and get the right amount of exercise and your acne will be (almost) completely gone =)

I have very severe acne due to stress and products. Overall this mask has shown me a difference for first time use. I was impressed, as organic, natural, leading brands or homemade products hasn't made the cut. If this can make my larger pimples shrink and the smaller ones clear out after a day use, I'm looking forward to the expecting results by next week. Note: I have been having terrible acne for about 4-5 years, my constant search for a cure started weeks after I noticed. I first tried homemade remedies, then the leading brand products, lastly organic brands. I have a problem with spending over $20 for beauty care items as it seems pointless to me. I'm also a high school student so appearance matters whether you like it or not. Not only that the acne made me have low self-esteem, it also irritated me and granted more stress. So as I was reading reviews on different products for a great price, I was astonished as this product had 8/10 recommendations. And usually, I determine buying products like that since people have different taste, opinions and satisfactory factor. Of course, you would think, "Wow, about 5 bucks for this? You gotta be kidding.." but it really works. My expectations scared me whereas, I was ready to be disappointed. So for my first time of use, here's what I did. Simple and easy but it doesn't hurt to detail how someone does something as it may result differently. I washed my face with moderate, room temperature water. I let my face dry slightly (I have a problem with being soaked to an extent where water with consistently drip off). I applied 1/3 of my index finger since I didn't know how much should be used. I caressed it against both my index and middle fingers then generously massaged my chin first as it was the area I had the worst acne. Then, I covered my cheeks and working my way up to my forehead. Surprisingly, a small amount on my finger was enough to evenly cover my face. Dried and done the over-the-sin

We use home-made clay masks with similar ingredients at beauty school, so it was great to find a packaged product so similar. Really helps draw out impurities. I also use it as an overnight spot treatment.

I absolutely love this product. I discovered it when I was pregnant and experiencing the common side affect of breakouts. Since I was pregnant I couldn't use any benzoyl peroxide or salyctic acid based products so I had to find what ever safer means I could to help with the breakouts. I used this masque every night both for help in preventing acne and then spot treating whatever stray pimple may have came through. This is a real overnighter on pimples. Used early enough it can get rid of a pimple overnight and even if I apply it after a pimple is all inflamed by the next morning it is no longer inflamed, smaller, and a lot less noticeable. I must say though that Mary Kay actually found a way to improve upon this masque. They have a masque that uses the same main ingredients and then adds in ground walnut shells. You can use it as either a masque or a facial scrub. That's expensive, though, and this is only about $3 where I live. No way I could have afforded to use it as much as I had to use this while I was pregnant! Anyways, this is most definitely one of the best clay masques I've used. The only really big downside to it is that you're likely to get some comments from anyone that sees you wearing it on account of its classic green color! BTW, the cleanest, quickest, and easiest way to remove the masque is to take a very warm, wet washcloth and press it against your skin everywhere you applied the masque until it is dark green instead of the light green it turns when ever it is dry. Then use the washcloth to gently wipe away the masque, being careful not to rub and also using a different part of the washcloth for each section of your face. Gently rinse your face afterwards.

I didn't buy this product to get rid of my blackheads but instead for my acne. I would recommend using this once a week or using it everyday will eventually dry out your skin extremely. It applies smoothly and I use at least two pea size amounts to have a thin layer on my skin. Let it dry, then while you shower you can wash it off and proceed with a face wash. It does reduce redness and the acne on my temples and cheeks reduces a lot when I use this product. I sometimes even use very very small amounts to dot on small acne as a overnight spot treatment and it does minimize the acne size.

I have never use something so great. Ive recently have been on a program that helps you with your acne. One of the things you had to do was check for the ingredients on the products you put on your face and everyone on this products is good. I have Oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin and it works soooo GOOODD! I love it. The oil in my face is so in control the sizes of my pimples are WAY SMALL and the redness uuff gone!

I have tried everything!!!!!! my old derma. even said i should take acne pills but there was no way i was gonna put those horrible pills in my body!!! Then i tried cliniques acne soltuions which worked pretty well but when i started using this every other night it helped tremendously!!! Now all my pimples are alomst gone!!!!!!! all that i have left is old scars which this face mask also has helped with!!!!!! This mask is so amazing and affordable!!!!!!! Another bonus is that it didnt hurt my sensitive skin!!!!

I love the way it feels after putting it on, I can feel it tightening my skin as it dries. It washes off my face easily. And I like the mint smell.
