Hello,

Another product I MUST rave about: Osea's White Algae Mask. It's like Valmont renewing pack (which I have and love, but am not crazy about scent), but, in my opinion, BETTER! And without mineral oil and without the old lady scent.
I used PSF's Pumpkin Peel and then put this on as a replenishing mask, and it made my skin glowing, smooth, and remoisturized (my poor skin in Los Angeles is parched!)

I am also using their cleansing cream now, which has supplanted my green tea cleanser from PSF, and I have to say it's excellent, too--cleans much more deeply that PSF's cleanser but leaves my skin soft as, well, a baby's bottom.

I am so excited about these new products and, since I have a swanky job for the summer, I can actually afford them now!
Now, if only they could make a sunscreen...

best,
avalange

I have to admit, I found it drying, surprisingly. It feels lovely on, and it does seem to be soothing, but when I rinse it off, I need to moisturize right away.

I was a little disappointed with this mask too. I seem to remember Avalange saying that the formula was changed and it's not quite as effective as the original one she used?

It's still a 'nice' mask but I also didn't find it hydrating enough, but I still use the other Osea masks.

This mask is absolutely fabulous, but I think it's actually not for dry skin since it's not very moisturising. My oily skin is hydrated and bright after use.

Ugh, I hated this mask! Thank goodness I only used a sample. The chilly fall weather has made my skin a bit dry recently, so I thought I'd give my sample of this a go and give my skin a little moisture boost---- big mistake! It's like your average clay mask, which is to say that it's the opposite of hydrating. Now my skin feels tighter and drier than ever!!! It's a shock since the other two Osea products I use (Ocean lotion and Eyes + Lips) are seriously HG products for me. Oh well. The search for a cold weather hydrating mask continues!! My beloved BWC hydrating mask was apparently discontinued, so next I'm going to try Arcona's wine mask. Any other recs will be welcomed, though!
