The Antioxidant Berry Masque contains antioxidant berries as well as Vitamins A, C, and E.

"The masque allows for a detox facial treatment using the antioxidant power of blueberries and cranberries, which enhance cellular renewal and collagen production.

The glycolic and alpha lipoic acids create a microdermabrasion-like effect that eliminates dead skin cells to reveal a fresh new layer."

  HOW TO USE MASQUE:
This masque is easier and quicker for me than most masks that I've used in the past. It's creamy, rich texture is easy to slather on and just as easy to rinse off. No long waiting periods either. Swipe some of the masque all over the face while avoiding eyes and mouth of course, then let it sit for 8 minutes (shorter if you need and a few minutes longer if you prefer) Sometimes it just feels nice to leave it on for a while and let it really work. After you're done, simply rinse with warm water and follow with your moisturizer.

  TIPS: I like to do a little massaging when I am applying the Berry Masque to my face to help penetrate and just get the best results as well as exfoliate a bit. I just give my face a quick massage while I'm applying the masque and the tiny bits of berry are enough for a very gentle exfoliant. I do a little rubbing before I rinse it off too. Since it is thick and creamy (a good thing!) using a wash cloth to wipe some away before rinsing will make things quicker.

  Facial masks are fun and usually relaxing. I've used very many different masks and I've experienced everything from burning the skin off my face to giving me nice skin for 24 hours. However, I've never used a mask that kept giving me great results with each and every use. There's those cheap, refreshing facial masks you can buy at drug stores and when used once in a blue moon, they can freshen up your skin, but it only lasts for a few hours before you're back to your normal issues and forget keeping it around forever because after a couple of uses, it's like you're immune to it! It quits working for you. That's so disappointing and because of this, I'm so picky with skincare products.  Using the Berry Masque, it feels nice and refreshing and certainly not painful! I never experience the slightest discomfort and I can use it daily for a week without my skin's problems returning. It's a keeper!

 The first time I used the Antioxidant Berry Masque, I noticed a smoother, glowier complexion and my skin looked less dull and the little blemishes were less noticeable. I went ahead and used it again the next day and my skin looked great! I expected it to last throughout the night, but not through the next day. I was greeted the next evening with the same great skin when I looked in the mirror! Very moisturized and a big difference in the bit of discoloration I had from previous problems and blemishes. All the redness and dark spots and uneven skin tone around my mouth was clearing away quickly. A few days later, I chose to continue use every night and my skin looks even better! Masques are mainly a once a week type of thing, but it's hard not to use the Berry Masque every night! It feels great and gives my skin everything it needs.

  I even found that I needed little to no moisturizer afterward! That's a miracle. I have been using the Renewal Serum every night after the Berry Masque and haven't needed anything extra. The two work beautifully together! I love the smooth complexion! It did even things out and smooth away my little scars that would suddenly flare up every few days. 

  After using the Berry Masque, you'll immediately start to see skin that looks fresh and dewy, not dull and tired. Without drying out my skin or leaving it oily, the Berry Masque leaves me with an good glow. I also have noticed easier makeup application. I usually mix liquid foundation with a thick moisturizer because it dried out my skin and I don't like overly caking my makeup. I hardly felt the need for the foundation lately and only use a little bit to help tint my sickly pale face for now. Instead of creating little balls that roll off your skin when you apply makeup or moisturizer, the Berry Masque and Renewal Serum work well with anything you put on. I feel like I need less covering up every day and I've seen less uneven spots when I do apply makeup. Bronzer and blush will glide over the Lady Soma Products without problem and I'm able to blend the makeup well without lines!

I am impressed with the Berry Masque. I love the berry scent and all the amazing ingredients and benefits! The healthy skin is wonderful and noticeable instantly. After my 8 minutes of Berry Masque time are up, that icky layer of dead skin which is very noticeable on my skin, disappears and the dead, dry flakes are exfoliated away without using abrasive scrubbing. It's easy and quick and so convenient to not have to use literally a whole load of product every night and morning on my skin. I simply use the maque, rinse, apply Renewal Serum and sleep. Then I wake up, apply a bit of moisturizer (I've done that routine for so many years that I just can't skip it!) and then go straight to doing my makeup. Normally, I have to line up the facial products each night before I shower and then line em' back up for the A.M. It's ridiculous and takes up an incredible amount of my time. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the Berry Masque and Renewal Serum. Using those two have been saving me some major time! TIP: If you're having to use more than one moisturizer/cream in one day, your moisturizer/cream is NOT doing it's job and you should consider switching to a product that can stand alone! Even if I didn't use the Berry Masque, the Renewal Serum alone is enough to cut my skincare routine time in half. It's more than worth it! PS. Don't you worry, I'll give you the juicy deets on the Renewal Serum asap!

I absolutely plan to continue using Lady Soma products. And to give you a little information, Lady Soma has a line of products made specifically for us ladies and you can find everything from skin and nail treatment (will be reviewing that soon and let me just say, it's amazing!) to facial products to digestive products which I'll so be trying!
