Hello, hello, hello!

Ljeto nam je pri kraju, stižu nam hladniji dani, a samim time i koža traži nešto više njege. Lagane kremice i serume polako zamjenjuju nešto masnije, hranjivije kreme i maske, barem u mom slučaju. Već sam spominjala svoj tip kože, no mislim da nije na odmet ponoviti. Moja koža je suha do mješovita, te se stanje mijenja tokom godišnjih doba, a i sa godinama postaje sve suša. Ljeti je moja koža tipična mješovita - sa normalnim obrazima i masnom T-zonom, dok su zimi obrazi jako suhi, a T-zona gotovo normalna bez puno mašćenja. Također sam već spominjala da obožavam maske za lice, a one iz Lush radionice su posebna poslastica.

Summer is nearly over, colder days are coming, and by that the skin is starting to require additional care. Light crams and serums are slowly being replaced by some greasier, more hydrating creams and masks, at least in my case. I have already mentioned my skin type, but it doesn't hurt to repeat it. My skin is dry to combination, and the state of it changes according to season. Also, it becomes drier by age. In summer my skin is typical combination type - with normal cheeks and oily T-zone, while in winter the cheeks are quite dry and the T-zone is almost normal without excess greasy shine. I have also mentioned I really like face masks, and the ones from Lush workshop are a special treat.


Dok ljeti preferiram maske namijenjene za mješovitu kožu poput Mask of Magnaminty, o kojoj ste mogli čitati ovdje, u hladnije doba godine moje lice traži nešto hidratantnije. S tim na umu sam se uputila u Lush poslovnicu u BBI u Sarajevu, gdje su cure koje rade ne samo super pristupačne, već i stručne po pitanju svojih proizvoda i tipova kože, te su mi preporučile ovu o kojoj danas pišem - Oatfix svježu masku za lice.

While in summer I prefer masks for combination skin like Mask of Magnaminty, about which you could read here, in the colder seasons my face requires something more hydrating. With that in mind I went to our local Lush store, where the girls are not only super friendly, but also knowledgeable about their products and skin types, so they recommended a mask which I am writing about today - Oatfix fresh face mask.

Maska dolazi u klasičnom Lush crnom pakiranju od mekane crne plastike. Na pakiranju se nalazi ime proizvoda, informacije o njemu, te lista sastojaka. Za pakiranje od 75g ćete izdvojiti 15KM, ili pet praznih posudica - tako sam ja došla do svoje. Pošto se radi o svježoj maski potrebno ju je držati u hladnjaku, a i rok trajanja joj je dosta kraći od stadnardnih maski iz drogerija.

The mask comes in a classic Lush black packaging made of soft plastic. The packaging contains the name of the product, information about it and the list of ingredients. For a packaging of 75g you will pay around 7€, or you can exchange five empty containers for it - that's how I got mine. Since it is a fresh mask, it needs to be stored in a fridge, and its expiration period is a lot shorter than the one of standard drugstore masks.

Kako iz Lusha kažu, ova maska je pravi hranjivi doručak za vašu kožu. Sastoji se od banane, ilipe maslaca i vanilije, koji hrane vašu kožu, te zobi i mljevenih badema koji služe kao blagi piling. Zob također i djeluju umirujuće za kožu, a dobro ju je i jesti jer smanjuje kolesterol. Maska je namijenjena suhoj i osjetljivoj koži. Kada otvorite posudicu odmah osjetite lijepi omjer mirisa vanilije, zobi i banane, a sama maska izgleda kao gusta zobena kaša. Prilično je ljepljiva i meni ju je najlakše bilo nanijeti prstima. Ja nemam određeno koliko dugo držim masku na licu, jednostavno gledam prema potrebi kože. Masku skidam mlakom vodom, pri čemu kružnim pokretima radim blagi piling. Nakon korištenja koža je mekana i nahranjena, da mi često i nije potrebna krema.

As Lush states, this mask is a real nutritious breakfast for your skin. It contains banana, illipe butter and vanilla, which nourish your skin, and oats and ground almonds which serve as a gentle peeling. Oats also have a soothing effect on the skin, and they are good to eat because they reduce the cholesterol. The mask is designed for dry and sensitive skin. When you open the container you can immediately smell a nice ratio of vanilla, oats and banana, and the mask itself looks like a thick oatmeal. It is quite sticky and I found it the easiest to apply it by fingers. I don't have a specific time for how long I keep the mask on my face, I simply observe my skin needs. I remove the mask with lukewarm water, during which I do a gentle peeling with circular motions. After the application the skin is so soft an nourished, and I often don't feel the need to apply the face cream.

Maska sam nabavila nekad u proljeće, i odlično se pokazala i za taj period i za moju suhu kožu. Koristila sam ju svako 2-3 dana i koža je bila veoma zahvalna na tome. Nije mi izazvala nikakve iritacije i nerede. Maska od mene ima čistu peticu i definitivno ju preporučujem svima sa normalnom i suhom kožom. Negdje sam također pročitala da je jestiva, pa sam mrvicu probala, no nije mi se svidjela u toj ulozi 😂 Sve u svemu, ako tražite dobru hidratantnu masku i dajete prednost prirodnoj kozmetici - bacite oko na Oatfix.

I got my mask sometime during spring, and it proved to be excellent for both that period and my dry skin. I used it every 2-3 days and my skin was very grateful for it. It did not cause any irritations or mess. I give this mask an A+ and I definitely recommend it to everyone with normal to dry skin. I have also read somewhere that it is edible, so I tried a little bit of it and didn't really like it 😂 All in all, if you are in a search of a good nourishing mask and you prefer natural cosmetics - check out Oatfix.
