I received a 1 oz free sample of this mask from EDS and I have to say it is one of the best masks I have used. This is the description from the EDS website:
| Quote: |
| Daily stress and environmental toxins can damage our skin, leaving it tired, dull, and vulnerable to an accelerated aging process. This unique treatment mask detoxifies, brightens, and strengthens the skin in one single application. A special complex of turmeric, known as one of the most powerful antioxidants in Indonesian medicine and used for centuries as a remedy for various skin and health ailments, helps neutralize environmental toxins in the skin and fortifies it through a concentrated detoxifying infusion. This mask is fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types. |
The mask is light brown in colour and although the description says that it is fragrance-free, I found that when I opened the jar, I had a flashback of high school art class. I can't put my finger on exactly what the smell reminds me of, acrylic paint, modeling clay? Whatever it is, it is not an unpleasant smell. The mask has a thick, smooth, creamy texture and is easily applied to the face, which was a surprise, because other masks that I have tried with kaolin clay have been very thick and hard to apply a smooth layer.
You are to leave the mask on for 10-15 mins, but I left it on for about 20-30 mins, since I'm usually in the tub reading a book when I use my masks. I did feel a slight tingling sensation at first which the directions say is normal. The mask did not completely harden so it was not uncomfortable leaving it on that long. When I rinsed it off, my skin looked brighter, cleaner, and felt fresh and moisturized. I fell in love with this mask the first time I used it and haven't changed my thoughts after using it for a month, so I will definitely be ordering a full size of this mask. The price is good, only $46 for a 4oz jar. My 1 oz jar will give me about 8-10 masks, so the 4oz jar will last me a long time.
There is also a website listed on the jar, although I haven't yet had a chance to check it out yet. www.juaraskincare.com
I give this mask a 5 out of 5.

Ok, I have the mask on right now. It does tingle a bit which surprised me so I came on to EDS to read what others have to say. I agree about the art clayish smell - funny how smells bring back memories. I'll post more after I've used it more often (and finish this round).
Just so people know, I'm on Juara's mailing list and they sent me info that their travel pack of sample sizes is sold out on their site but is available on QVC at the intro price of $35 (regularly $45) so I splurged because I've been interested in this line since I first heard of it on EDS.

I bought the travel pack before any reviews were posted on QVC. But that's another feature I like about QVC, real people's reviews! There are now 5 reviews for the travel kit posted as of today (every one a 5 out of 5 stars!!!)... QVC customer reviews of the Juara turmeric mask -- so far there are 6 and all are 5 out of 5 stars as well!
So far, I haven't used everything. Just now trying the mask. My comments so far: The candlenut cream is quite nice and absorbs quickly but is very moisturizing. It's a bit expensive but I could see splurging on this. The rice face cream felt good and you just need a little if you spritz your face first with water (or not). It actually felt like it tightened my skin - felt like some "active" action there!
I figure if I like any of the products enough, I can get the full size here at EDS - and also get a EDS member discount too!  Thanks EDS!
