Product Summary
Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask

Natural Acne Treatment
Facial Mask 2.2 oz
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Can be used as both a face mask and overnight spot treatment.
•  You can feel it working! The light tingling soothes acne irritated skin.
•  Beneficial to both body and mind with a relaxing lavender scent.
•  Regular use (determined by skin type) renders skin clear and radiant.
•  Anti-bacterial properties act to clear up existing acne quickly.
•  Significantly reduces redness in acne prone skin.
•  BONUS: This mask can be used on feet to treat minor bacterial infections.
Cons  •  Not good for those with known sensitivity to tea tree oil.
•  Since it is blue in color, it can not be used as a daytime treatment (unless you plan on staying in for the day).
•  The suggested retail price of $36.00 doesn't mesh well with many teen budgets.
The Bottom Line - It may be costly compared to its competitors, but this product is worth every penny. It claims to help clear up existing acne while preventing future breakouts, and it does just that. The gentle scent of lavender acts as an aromatherapy treatment for stress and the 10-15 minute drying time forces you to take a few minutes to unwind. This facial mask will leave your skin refreshed and your soul rejuvenated.

Guide Review
Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask
It isn't very often that you will get a guy to admit to using a facial mask, but I will proudly declare my devotion to this product. I put it on in the shower after a particularly difficult day at work and was instantly surprised by the way the lavender scent relaxed my weary body and mind. As if that weren't reward enough, when the mask had dried and I had rinsed it off, my skin tingled with a sense of pure clean. Impressed, I used the mask that night as a spot treatment and awoke the next morning to find that a stubborn zit was shrinking. Three days later it was gone. After only one week of regular use, this mask has helped keep my skin clearer and my mind more alert. This is an all-around great product. A simple indulgence you will be glad you gave to yourself.
