Dinsaw Pong, anyone?

Montagne Jeunesse: White Thai Mud Masque

I received the masque from Swaggable, a program which lets you sample products in exchange for an honest review. I have used many of the masques that are part of the Montagne Jeunesse family also known as "7th Heaven" (www.organic7thheaven.com). This time I received the White Thai Mud Masque!

What's in it:
White Thai Mud, Organic Lemon Grass, Lotus Blossom, Organic Ginger, Organic Sesame, Organic Jasmine Tea and Organic Aloe Vera.

Properties that stand out:
Dinsaw Pong, known to us as White Thai mud helps purify the skin and has been used in Thailand for years. The chalk like consistency tends to draw out the impurities in a gentle manner, leaving you with soft and clean surface. The mud has been used in many purposes from beauty to medical, for clearing rashes to healing wounds. The mud has also been used by Thais and Laotians as skin protection, from environments that may be harsh and grueling to the skin. Once removed, you are left with a silky skin that is ultra soft.

Lemongrass. has been used in aromatherapy as a calming agent and is also antimicrobial, antifungal, analgesic, antidepressant and antiseptic.

The Lotus Blossom has been known for revitalizing skin to hair. The Lotus Flower Extract works like a conditioner.

Ginger contains gingerol, a strong antioxidant. Think of it like punching those free radicals that try to age us.

Sesame is also rich in antioxidants and this is why I not only apply it to my skin but always add a dash to my Asian dishes.

Tea alone contains antioxidants that help reduce swelling. It is rich in vitamins E, C, D, Magnesium to Iron.

I could write an article on Aloe alone from it's healing properties to how well it moisturizes. It's the one succulent I keep around and come summer when you get a little too red, I put a stalk in the fridge and nothing soothes a burn like Aloe Vera does. I love seeing it in beauty products and it beats the common cheap H2o you see so many companies use as filler.

Does it Work?
This masque makes up for the hard weeks where I did not hydrate correctly or kept up with my beauty regimen as I should. Call it my "cheater masque". I love how the White Thai Mud gently exfoliates all the impurities by drawing them out gently. I did not get that harsh dry-out you experience with clay masks, where you may even peel/flake a bit. I think what corrects those issues, is the antioxidant punch this masque has. You get lifting of dead cells that are exchanged by new ones, which are welcomed with a burst of nourishment.

I recommend you "Feed your Skin" with this masque and you will be thankful you did!
