My skin tends to be combination and a bit blemish prone. Throw in summer heat and humidity and you have one unhappy girl. I love facial masques for this very reason and mud masques tend to be my favorite. My skin has happily indulged in The Body Deli’s Glacial Mineral Mud Masque and has loved the results for my woes of summertime skin.

The Glacial Mineral Mud Masque is a delectable treat for your skin that needs to be refrigerated. Applying cold, thick mud across your face will make you a bit nostalgic of younger days and reminded me of a time when my brother, sister and I would make mud pies in the backyard and I’d somehow convince my sister to eat them (and she did!) The other good thing about applying a mud masque cold is how refreshing it feels when it is really hot out or better yet, after you just finished an intense workout with Turbo Jam.

The mud masque actually has some fragrance to it–slightly perfume-ish in a dirty, gritty way. And this masque does has a slight bit of grit to it, similar to if you scooped up some mineral-rich mud in your backyard. As the minutes pass with the masque on your face, you can feel your skin tighten. Once you rinse it away, you’ll notice that has absorbed the oil from your face.

My skin had been breaking out at the time I started using it and after using it twice in one week, my blemishes have disappeared. If you have dry skin, then you should only use it once a week. It is a pretty small jar for the money (2oz for $24) but well worth it. www.thebodydeli.com
