Having been very pleased with other Lumene products I’ve tried, I went out and purchased this moisturizing mask a couple months ago. I’ve been testing the product for a while now, and am happy to report that my skin is loving it.

I use it once or twice a week as a ten-minute mask after I wash my face. Sometimes I’ll apply the mask prior to a shower so that the hot water can open up my pores to let the moisture really penetrate. The product is fragrance free (great for sensitive skin), and leaves a pleasant chill on my skin as it does its magic.

According to the package, the product contains “pure, arctic spring water and bio-calming oil.” I really gotta chuckle at this because you want to know what the second listed ingredient is, after water? Canola oil.

This is not a knock against canola oil. I actually think canola oil is seriously underrated as a skincare ingredient. But it’s just interesting the difference between marketing and the reality.

That said, I really thought this product was great for my dry skin, and would definitely buy it again.
