it dried very quickly and felt like it was working [SEP] i cleansed my face before applying the mask with the body merry vitamin c cleanser i applied a thin layer to my skin as directed there is a slightly minty smell to the mask which i did not expect but it is not unpleasant i kept the mask on my face for about minutes it dried very quickly and felt like it was working i cleaned my face with warm water massaging it in circular motion to remove the mask i have not used the mud long enough drastic results but i can say my skin feels little firmer and smoother than it has in a while i would advise to follow with a good moisturizer as this mask did make my skin a little dry and flaky i use the body merry vitamin c moisturizer and love iti received this product at a discounted price for my honest unbiased review
