Review: The Body Shop Drops Of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

I recently discovered the new Drops of Youth range from one of my favourite brands, The Body Shop. The range claims to reduce the signs of ageing including reducing fine lines and leaving skin looking smoother, fresher and healthier.

I picked up two items from the range, the Liquid Peel (review here) and the Bouncy Sleeping Mask, which is described as a refreshing overnight facemask designed to fight the first signs of ageing, leaving the skin feeling softer and smoother in the morning.

The product has an odd texture, it’s a thick gel like liquid which has an odd bouncy feel to it. Although it is certainly a bit strange, I actually quite like it! It reminds me of aqueous cream, which makes sense, as both products act like an emollient with hydrating effects.

The Bouncy Sleeping Mask has been designed to be used by people of all skin types, to smooth and refresh skin as an overnight face mask. Simply apply to cleansed skin every night, gently massage into the skin and leave the product to absorb.

So, how have I found it? I really like the Bouncy Sleeping Mask, it has a really hydrating, cooling effect when first applied and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy in the morning. You don’t need to use too much, about a pea-sized amount of the gel is enough for my whole face, which means it will last a long time.

I do find that my skin feels better hydrated and nourished after applying the mask, although my face still feels thirsty in the morning, it does feel plumper and softer. I did find that using too much of the mask did leave a bit of a sticky residue, so it’s important that you only use a small amount.

Overall, I have enjoyed using the mask as an addition to my beauty regime and it helps my skin feel enriched and soft. I award the Body Shop drops of youth bouncy sleeping mask 5 out of 5 stars.
