A product review post? Are you feeling okay Grace? I know, I know it's been forever since I dished out my opinions on some new products but that's because I haven't tried anything recently that's really blown me away - until now.
A little while back I worked with The Body Shop on an Instagram campaign and was gifted a whole host of goodies which I picked out myself. In amongst my haul was the Vitamin E Moisture Sleeping Mask which would soon become one of the products I reach for the most!
So what do I think of The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Sleeping Mask?
The moisturiser, which is actually an overnight treatment, aims to help "restore and protect skin's optimum moisture level" and so far I can say it's been doing just that. Initially, I did use the Vitamin E Moisture Mask as a nightly treatment every few days as suggested, but it has quickly become my daily moisturiser. I'm not sure it's intended for daily use but it's not oily, makes a great base for my foundation, and as of yet, I haven't had any issues with it.
I did suggest in my initial review of my Body Shop haul that it makes my skin greasy if I overuse it, but as I've been using it daily for quite some time now this hasn't been the case so I can only assume the excess oil was due to something else!
One of the things I really like about the moisture mask is its consistency. It's a powder pink, jelly-like cream that does go a long way. I've been using the same 100ml pot for a while now and I've still got a tonne of it left which is ideal when money is tight.
Speaking of £££, The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Sleeping Mask will set you back £11 per pot. It's not a dirt-cheap pot, but it's a hell of a lot more affordable than my beloved Clinique Moisture Surge, and it does the same thing. It's basically a mid-range product that I would happily fork out for in the future.
Besides using the sleeping mask on my mush, I've also been using it occasionally on my hands as I suffer from quite bad eczema and I found it helps a lot. This isn't promoted as a product to be used on eczema-prone skin however I noticed my dry patches were looking better after I started applying the moisturizer with my hands, so it made sense to start using it on them too!
Is there anything I don't like about the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Mask? Similar to the comments I made in my Clinique Moisture Surge review, the only issue I have with this is product is that it comes in a pot instead of a tube. I prefer my skincare to be packaged in tubes as I feel it's more hygienic but it's not a massive issue and wouldn't put me off repurchasing.
Overall I've been thoroughly enjoying using the moisture mask and I would buy it again in the future.

It looks so lovely... that cotton candy hue does this trick ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf the scent isn't strong, then I would happily give it a try!
Stay safe and xoxo
It does have a subtle scent to it but I wouldn't say it's strong at all :)

I used The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisturizer (I think it was a daycream) in the past, but this mask sounds actually very good as well. I'm not sure if I would also use it as a moisturizer, scared it would be a little too hydrating for my skin type, but I think I would love it as an mask for sure!

Yeah I'm not sure it would work as an every day moisturiser for all skin types but so far so good for me! :)
