Product Review: Earth Science - Purifying Facial Masque Mint Tingle

Photo via Amazon.

I'll admit, when I first tried this facial masque, I was a little shocked at the color (blue) and afraid it might dye my face blue! Luckily, it came off easily and I was anxious for naught. :)

I have somewhat oily skin and find this to be a great product! It appears to reduce the oil and somewhat clear my complexion when I don't overuse it (at most three times a week) and follow up with Clarifying Herbal Astringent.

It makes my face tingle (in a good way) and I absolutely love this product! I definitely recommend it!

Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash

Find this at www.desertessence.com

Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash is a really good mouthwash in my opinion. The minty flavor isn't that potent, but I like how this doesn't burn or sting my mouth. I got the 16oz refill bottle because it was cheaper than getting the regular 8oz size.

I think this works great with Desert Essence toothpaste - right now I'm using the mint flavor but I plan to try ginger and wintergreen soon. My teeth seem whiter now that I've been using both products, which is a definite plus! I'm also glad that both the toothpaste and mouthwash are Xylitol free! Even though I still have some things that contain Xylitol (like vegan gum) I'm glad that I can minimize the amount I use by not using toothpaste/mouthwash that contains it.

Desert Essence is one of my favorite brands. I love their toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, etc. I also love how most of their products are vegan - including this mouthwash!

I give this -  

The reason this isn't 5 stars is because the mouthwash's aftertaste is somewhat bland. Other than that, though, I love it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

This is a great toothpaste! The ingredients are wonderful and it really works. I love that this toothpaste doesn't contain xylitol - many other toothpastes do, but I prefer ones without it . It cleans my teeth really well and leaves my mouth feeling fresh. I have the mint flavor, but Desert Essence also sells Wintergreen, Fennel & Ginger. This toothpaste isn't very minty and, even though I like it, I would have preferred it to be more minty. I love the new design - the flip cap is really nice! The toothpaste is also 100% vegan!
