it gives a nice minty tingle the whole time [SEP] i will admit i was skeptical i have never used a mud mask before but i needed something my skin was bumpy irritated and had lots of blackheads i tried all the face washes and cleansers and they did not do much so i tried the radha beauty dead sea mud musk i was very impressed i left it on for about minutes it gives a nice minty tingle the whole time if it starts to itch you have left it on too long get it off i put a wet hot cloth on my face for a moment to loosen it a bit then just wipe it off bit by bitmy skin was so smooth clear and nice looking i actually got compliments i use it once to twice a week but no more than twice it really really helps the look of my skini was very skeptical but now i am a convert
