Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask review!

Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask is probably my favourite face mask I have ever bought. It does exactly what it says on the tin and definitely benefits my skin every time I use it. This is a perfect mask to use for an ultimate pamper session because of the wonderful warming sensation from the mask. I really feel like it gives my face a well deserved treat!

 

 

The face mask come in a 100ml tube and you get a lot of product.

The bottle last for a long time and not much product is needed either. A little really does go a long way! This mask is best used twice weekly.

 The mask can be applied on a dry or damp face after cleansing and thoroughly removing make-up. Damp is probably best as it allows you to smooth the mask over skin easily. You only need one-two blobs of the product to cover the whole face.

 

The consistency is rather unusual and does need some getting used to! It's very thick, almost clay-like so makes it harder to blend onto my face. I almost have to 'rub' the mask on my face rather than smooth it on. The smell is also clay like and verges on an  unpleasant plastic scent. I don't think many people would like the smell or consistency of this mask. I have to admit, I was pretty turned off the mask until I actually put it on my face!

 

 

 

 

But here is the wonderful thing about this mask, The self-heating effect. The heat that comes from this mask the minute it is applied to the face is absolutely amazing! It is super hot and relaxing on the skin. I was in almost shock the first time I used this mask as it does apply quite unnaturally hot but after a minute or two, you get a gorgeous warm feeling. I think most people will enjoy this part of the mask.

 

Because the mask is self-heating due to the Charcoal in the mask, I feel like it is opening my pores to give my skin a deep cleanse and help clear my skin. You only leave it on for five minutes but because of the warm sensation on the skin, you feel relaxed and even the smell starts to become calming after a while! This mask is really therapeutic for when your having a bad day.

 



This mask is a clay-like consistency, making it difficult to apply to the face easily.



 

 I was dreading washing this mask off at first because of how thick this face mask is to apply but to my surprise it washed off like a dream without any mess or fuss! It is actually much easier to remove then put on and washes off easier than many other face masks I have previously used.

 

It didn't make my face feel tight or dry. I have already noticed a wonderful difference in my skin! My spots have reduced, my skin is softer, much smoother and calmer. It has also made my face less prone to shine. I couldn't have asked for more!

 

VERDICT - Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask is a favourite with me. The gloopy consistency, plastic smell and expensive price of £10.20 (psst! you can get sample sizes of this mask at £2.05 from Boots!) doesn't seem as important when the mask gives you amazing results like this one! I would definitely purchase this mask again without a doubt. It makes me feel good being in my skin as it reduces spots, shine and dullness and replaces it with brighter, clearer and smoother skin.

 

I would buy this mask for the amazing thermal effect alone. It is really calming, relaxing and opens up the pores to give a deep cleanse. I have never used anything quite like this. A real (heart warming!) treat for everyone!
