Welcome to me from Viviane Woodard Skincare!
I found this refreshing and very well-organized website in my search for gluten free skincare. I placed my second order after finding out that I would receive a free gift with order of any size. Thus Purifying Glacial Clay entered my life.
First of all, both orders arrived in a beautifully packaged box. I instantly felt celebrated with the black and white polka dot tissue paper and gift bag. I mean, you just know when a company values you and takes time to SHOW they care. I mean yes I was thanked for my order via email confirmation and on the receipt that arrived with the product but to actually SEE the order arrive and I can tell you that the item I did purchase to receive the free gift was not a large order by any means. So I did see that I was celebrated just as much as my initial larger order. So in that sense, this company passed the test with flying colors - and black and white polka dots!
On to the actual product testing. The product was sealed and I understand this packaging is being phased out though this recipe will remain. So getting ahead of myself - Yippeee!!!! 'Cause I really enjoyed this clay. This is not the usual Bentonite Clay which I use often. It did not make me look like I just dove into the mud in my back yard (lol). It was a light green tinge and went on so smoothly. It smelled divine, like the kind you spend lots of $ on at the actual spa. It dried without making me want to itch my face off (like Bentonite clay does).
I left it on longer than the 10-15 minutes indicated because I was just enjoying its smelly goodness. I used the free skin accessory I was gifted with (more on that in a later review) and a thin cloth dipped into warm water. I did not want to use anything abrasive because I wanted to know if this was an actual exfoliate and I can tell you that it is! So the beauty of a clay mask that exfoliates without large tearing or rubbing on the fine skin of your face, neck and decollete is that this method is kinder to your face and allows for you to actually use this product the 2-3 times per week as recommended.
I slathered on their moisturizing product (more on that in another review!) and I just sat down and was amazed at how soft my skin felt and how I got that subtle glow after the moisturizer sunk in.
I recommend this product not only for the price, but for the value in that it truly can replace the pricey clay mask at the spa. Of course I will still go to the spa (who wouldn't continue to spa?) but this frees up a bit of $ for a massage or a body soak you have been waiting to try. It works and it is such a nice change from the chunky, skin tightening Bentonite that I have come to accept as the only clay which will work on my aging skin.
