Yves Rocher Tradition De Hammam & Cranberry Mask Review

Trying a new brand once and then start buying each and every product is something I have been doing for years now. I tried a couple of Yves Rocher makeup & skincare products last year and then decided to dig in a little more and bought two more skincare products. I am hoarder when it comes to face masks and have over 8-9 masks in my stash. So Yves Rocher Tradition De Hammam & Cranberry Cooling Effect Mask are the two new products I have been testing out for good 2-3 months now.

Yves Rocher 3 Min Cranberry Cooling Effect Mask (Rs 400 for 50 ml), sounded perfect for summers. I love to apply a gel based cooling mask after sun exposure. This mask is made of cranberry extracts and is free of parabens. It was an impulse buy I must add, because I already have aloe vera masks from two different brands and they more or less work the same way.

I follow the directions and apply it liberally all over face & neck and let it work for 3 minutes. But I don’t see it making my skin any brighter or fresher , unless I keep it in refrigerator and let it become a real-cooling mask ! Well I have tried it not once but numerous times and failed to see any benefit.

Tradition De Hammam Moroccan Clay Mask For Face & Hair (Rs 1300 for 100 ml) , This was my extravagant purchase from the brand since it looked luxe and yes with luxe ingredients. Pure Moroccan Clay & argan oil sounded like two miraculous ingredients for dry skin/ hair. This mask can be used on face as well as hair which intrigued me the most.

It comes in tube and has a quite runny consistency for a clay mask. It is grey in color, like most clay based masks, and dries in 5-10 minutes. I have tried it on my face numerous times and saw it making my skin smoother & softer. It doesn’t make my face dry or stretchy by any means.

On hair it was kind of a disaster. I put it on for the first time and post wash my hair felt so dry, almost like hay ! So I swore not to use it on my head ever again. Maybe it will benefit oily scalp/ hair., but for dry hair, NOT recommended.

Overall Thoughts

With a heavy heart I have to admit that neither Tradition De Hammam Moroccan Clay Mask For Face & Hair Nor Cranberry Cooling Mask knocked my socks off ! I have tried a lot of good cooling as well as clay based masks that do wonders for the skin and cost much much less.
