Spa(ahhh) Day Sunday: Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque Review

Sunday is my day to treat my skin to a spa treatment at home. As an esthetician, I know that one of the primary steps in a facial treatment is exfoliation. By exfoliating the skin, it’s prepared to accept treatment serums and moisturizers. I found that  Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque does an excellent job of exfoliating my skin on a superior level without the downtime of chemical peel or microdermabrasion.

About Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque $32.99

The Glycolic AHA (Antioxidant) Mask is loaded with antioxidant berries and Vitamins A, C, and E. The masque allows for a detoxification treatment using the antioxidant power of blueberries and cranberries, which enhance cellular renewal and collagen production. 4oz 120ml. The glycolic and alpha lipoic acids create a microdermabrasion-like effect that eliminates dead skin cells. The masque tingles on the skin when applied, and it will eliminate surface layer impurities. The masque is maximum strength and should be used to reveal a fresh new layer, similar to a chemical peel.

Key Benefits

• Energizes and oxygenates skin using the power of blueberry & cranberry
• Vitamins A, C, and E
• Deeper cell renewal with collagen production
• Promotes fresh, healthy looking skin

My results:

I’ve used Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque over the course of a few months and this mask is an amazing choice for attaining clear bright skin. After my first use, my pores were much cleaner and my skin had a wonderful radiant glow. With repeated use, I found that my skin continued to look better. I have combination normal to dry skin which once upon a time was oily, so I still have large pores prone to clog.

Even though this is an Glycolic AHA mask, I used it  without sensitivity to my skin — there was no stinging, no burning or redness.  I have tough skin, so perhaps I can take a bit more than other skin types. If you have sensitive skin, I would suggest doing a little test on your neck or behind your ear.

I love that Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque does not dry out on my skin (leave on 8 minutes according to directions), but remains tacky, so my skin isn’t dried out from the mask. Removing the mask by adding water and massaging into skin helps with the exfoliation process. It rinses clean and my skin feels wonderful. I follow with a treatment serum, (currently I’m trying out Lady Soma Renewal Serum), and moisturizer.

I think this mask is great for oily and combination skin. If you are plagued with clogged pores or breakouts, it’s a must-have!
