RE:P: Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb
I was seeing this a lot on my Instagram feed for a while, and after some research on it, I went over to SOKOGLAM and purchased this bad boy.
Safe to say after one use, I most certainly noticed a difference. I use this regularly in the evening before going in with a toner and following with the rest of my routine. *BTW I'll be posting my FULL routine sometime next week hopefully.
What are the claims of this product? Well, simple; it claims to calm and soothe irritated skin, redness, and inflammation. The fresh herbs gently whisk away dead skin cells and debris as you massage the herbs and clay into the skin. It's formulated for sensitive skin, free of mineral oil, sorbic acid, animal ingredients, surfactants, parabens and propylene glycol. ALSO, IT'S CRUELTY-FREE CERTIFIED!
Some fun and loveable ingredients!
Kaolin: Kaolin's gentle absorptive properties do not over dry or give that tight skin feeling during use (like bentonite clay) yet still gentle and effective for pulling impurities to the surface and gently stimulating circulation to the area of application. Kaolin clay can also be used to gently exfoliate your skin as you rinse away. Your skin is left feeling cleansed and wonderful. Perfect for sensitive skin.
Doesn't over dry your skin
Has disinfectant properties which help in healing existing blemishes while also preventing new ones from forming.
Removes impurities from pores

Calendula: It has great anti-inflammatory and vulnerary action, making it helpful with stubborn wounds, acne, ulcers, bed sores, varicose veins, rashes, eczema and related conditions. It also helps soothe sore, inflamed and itchy skin.
Provide moisture to dry skin

The texture on this is creamy and smooth, application is simple and easy. Almost like applying moisturizer and after 5-10 minutes just rinse away with lukewarm water to reveal comfortable, soothed, calmed and brighter skin. It also smells heavenly, fresh with a subtle hint of chamomile, which is really lovely.
Now, having used this for almost three weeks now; like I said, it has worked very well for me. My scars have been reduced by a great deal, a lot of my inflammation went down after the first use. I'm used to clay masks leaving my skin with a tight and slightly dry feeling; however, with the Bio Fresh Mask, leaving my skin clean, nourished and fresher it’s definitely a new found favorite right now. This is recommended for Sensitive and Dry skin types *although I have oily skin, I do find that it works well with for me and doesn't strip away essential oils, but does help in clearing out my pores.
Overall this clay mask is definitely top shelf and a great addition to anyone's collection.
Hope this was helpful to you!
Lots of love~
