Initial thoughts on TheLavishGentleman’s charcoal mask: a little goes a long way…
As I mentioned the other day I got a free charcoal mask from The Lavish Gentleman with my order of cleansing oil. I tried some on Tuesday, and I tried it again today… so while it’s way to early to make a review, it’s not to early to share some first impressions.
Firstly, this mask is a lot more liquid than I expected… based on previous experience I expected a paste like consistency, but this stuff is closer to an aftershave balm.
Secondly, it stays quite flexible when it’s dried… I have no problems talking, eating and drinking coffee, with no fear that the mask would flake of.
Thirdly, it washes off really easily… no hard scrubbing, no need to use soap. A hot shower and a wash cloth is all I needed.
And lastly… a little goes a long way. I only planned to do my “T-sone” today, but since you can’t put it back in the pot once it’s on your finger it became more of an O-zone…

New arrival – The Lavish Gentleman Charcoal Mask
So I ordered some more of the facial cleanings oil from The Lavish Gentleman I reviewed in the end of January.
Graciously they not only gave me free shipping to Norway, on top of the 15% off, but they also put in a free gift; a jar of their Detoxifying Charcoal Mask. My beloved wife have been at me from time to time about using masks to clear up my skin (working in a dusty environment can cause a lot of clogged pores), so she’s having a chuckle over me actually trying this.
Packaging was top notch, survived the trip over here in good condition. I’ll let y’all know how the mask works out for me in a couple of weeks.
