Drink It Up

I'll readily admit I am a sun whore. I don't smoke and I religiously apply sunscreen but oh do I love to sit under the big yellow ball in the sky getting my dose of vitamin D. Since returning from my holiday my face has been quite dry and a little flakey (blurgh!) so I thought I'd treat it to some intensive moisturising with Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Mask.

You apply the herbal scented mask thickly then let your skin soak it up for 10 minutes. The cream doesn't harden but it's quite disturbing to see how thirsty my skin was as the product all but disappeared on certain areas of my face. The instructions say to wipe away what's left behind with a tissue and massage the final remnants into the face, but it felt too greasy so I gave mine a quick wipe with a damp muslin cloth. 




The ingredients are 99% natural with moisture trapping clary sage as the hero ingredient. It also contains mafura and tucuma butter along with coconut oil to soften and hydrate. 

My skin looked instantly fresher and plumper, the dryness improved after just one use and it's definitely softer to the touch. At £19.99 this is a well priced, does what is says on the tin product that I will be integrating into my weekly beauty routine.
