Gr8ful Skin Couture Stimul8 Mud

I first "met" Jennifer Newman via Twitter - she sends #FF's round the globe via country every Friday - which I think is a nice thing to do!  She contacted me to see if I'd like to try and review her product Stimul8 Mud* which is a mask and skin treatment.  





100% natural, Vegan and chemical free (there is a moisturiser in production which will be released at the end of the year).

At Gr8ful Skin Couture the belief is being grateful for everything good in life. The name of the company came from running into an old friend who said "your skin looks just like my two year old's you haven't aged a bit, you must be so grateful"  The "8" came from Chinese folklore which says the number 8 represents good fortune.

Jennifer has formulated her own skin care products since her teenage years and her goal with Stimul8 Mud* was to create a mud which would alter the skin after just one application - smoothing, softening, tightening and giving an air-brushed effect as well as having longer term benefits.



Apply the mud to clean skin and wait for it to dry (there will be some tingling - this is normal!)  While it is drying sit back and focus on every reason you have to be grateful.

I've used the mask a few times and removed it with warmed wet cloths. Afterwards my skin felt so soft, plumped up, radiant, toned and firm.  The mask also smells really nice.  Definitely one I want to have in my stash!

The mask retails at $70 for a 50gr pot (approx £47)

  7. I like the sound of this - good to know that it smells great too because I've used some natural muds masks in the past which have been a little on the stinky side! x
