Beauty Review: Mario Badescu Enzyme Revitalizing Mask

Recently I've been really interested in the Mario Badescu product line, I've been seeing his stuff everywhere & have heard nothing but amazing things about it.  When my Mom picked up the Mario Badescu Enzyme Revitalizing Mask I was really excited to try it.

The company's description of the mask:

"This product is a moisture intensive Alpha Hydroxy mask ideal for dull, dry, or mature skin. Papaya and Grapefruit Extracts are the natural exfoliants blended with antioxidant Vitamin A and E oils giving the skin a refreshed, glowing appearance."

When I use this I make sure to remove all of my makeup, & then wash my face.  Next I apply the mask & leave it on for 20 minutes, I like to read a magazine or catch up on blogs while I am waiting.  After the 20 minutes are up I rinse my face, use toner, & apply face lotion (if my skin is especially dry I use coconut oil!).  Since it's my Mom's I don't bring it to school with me so if I'm home I'll use it twice a week, otherwise I will just steal it when I'm home.  The best part is is that the benefits last for a long time!

I can honestly say that I love this mask.  For the past few months this has been my secret weapon for glowing skin.  I have combination skin that gets dry in the winter, & I get lots of blackheads in my t-zone & chin area.  This mask has seriously helped to repair the damage done by the harsh winter elements.  It has also helped to shrink my pores & clear up  those pesky blackheads & any blemishes that pop up.  Every time I use it my skin feels smooth & refreshed when I take it off.  It does a great job of clearing out your skin, while keeping it moisturized all at the same time.

I am a bit of a face mask junkie & this is definitely one of the best, if not the best, masks I have ever tried.  I definitely recommend picking this on your next trip to a store that carries Mario Badescu (I know that you can get it on their online store & Ulta, but my Mom picked hers up at a boutique near our house).  The results that I have seen with this product has made me really want to try out more of Mario Badescu products, they have such an expansive line, but I think I am interested in trying one of their face cleansers next!

Have you ever tried any Mario Badescu products?  If you have, which ones did you try & what did you think?
