I absolutely love masks – they help your skin adjust to the change in seasons by giving an instant jolt of moisture or hydration that is so needed.  Oriflame makes some of my favorite masks.

Packaging – Oriflame Aqua Rhythm Intense Hydration Mask comes in a simple transparent plastic tube.  The cap is screw on and not flip top.  I actually prefer screw on caps as they are far more travel friendly than flip tops.  The tube lets you see how much mask is left and I like that – I can restock when I see it going down.Oriflame Aqua Rhythm Intense Hydration Youth Preserve Gel Mask Review Swatches (1)Oriflame Aqua Rhythm Intense Hydration Mask – As the name suggests, this is a gel mask.  It is a little bit watery and so spreads really easily.  There is quite a bit of stickiness, but then you need to wash this off, so I don’t really mind that much.   There is a very clear aqua fragrance that is really nice but not overpowering.

The directions say you need to keep this on for 5 to 10 minutes.  I prefer to keep this for about 10 minutes.  Unlike some masks this one does not dry down completely and I can still feel some wetness after 10 minutes.  I guess if you apply a really thin layer then it would dry down far more.

It does take some effort to wash off the mask.  I need to rinse my face about 3 times with water to get everything off.  I prefer to avoid facewash whilst washing off a mask so I can get the full benefit of the hydration, and am not stripping off any of the moisture that the mask has worked so hard to retain.

My Experience

I love how soft my face feels after Oriflame Aqua Rhythm Intense Hydration Mask has been used.  This clearly hydrates your skin well.  I love using this in the summers and monsoons.  My skin is oily and using a full on cream mask gives me a break out.  This however, adds the much needed hydration without making my skin greasy.

I use this once a week to once a fortnight.  It really helps to balance my skin

Overall Thoughts

A staple in my skincare routine.  I  keep trying out a lot of different Oriflame Masks, and so far none of them has ever disappointed me.  I do think Oriflame Aqua Rhythm Intense Hydration Mask is better suited for normal to combination skin types – so you need to keep that in mind.  I alternate this with a more heavy duty mask in the winters.

Rating 4.5/5
