Setting a color trend of Fashion Week proportions, Blue Tansy is now officially the ‘it’ ingredient on the beauty scene. Present in some of the most unique radiance boosting formulas, this newcomer stands out in my recent discovery, the Herbivore Blue Tansy AHA + BHA Resurfacing Clarity Mask. New to Sephora, the makers of one of the best soap bar (Pink Clay is EVERYTHING) are rolling out even more, all natural, 100% impressive newness. As a major mask connoisseur, this particular launch seems to have been color coded especially for me.
The latest from Herbivore is all about fruit acids and enzymatic exfoliation. Gentle and incredibly effective, the Blue Tansy Mask smoothes, softens, brightens, and purifies dull, congested skin. This triple threat treatment exfoliates skin’s surface with Pineapple and Papaya Enzymes while Salicylic Acid rich White Willow Bark Extract penetrates deep unclogging pores for a truly remarkable outcome. Blue Tansy is the star here, however, as a buffer between the very potent AHA and BHA blend. It is the secret behind remarkable results with absolutely no redness nor irritation.
What is Blue Tansy? Also known as Moroccan Chamomile, it contains high levels of Azulene, an anti-inflammatory plant extract with a bold blue hue. Though it can be poisonous when ingested in high doses, (nothing to worry about in a facial product), the rendered form of this essential oil has proven extremely beneficial in skincare. Allowing active ingredients to perform to their full potential, this particular botanical ensures final results that are free of peeling, irritation, or unpleasant side effects.
The Herbivore Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask has an almost liquigel consistency thanks to its Aloe Vera base. It applies comfortably and never runs down your face. The immediate cooling effect is extremely pleasing and the subtle blue tint adds to the Ice Queen lewk while you’re wearing it. After 15-20 minutes (or 5 if your skin is sensitive), rinse it off and prepare to be amazed at how much smoother and softer your skin feels.
In addition to its particular shade of blue, Blue Tansy has a unique scent. Having chatted with my instagram friends, we’ve compared it to hay, to bird feed, and even to Nordic beverages. Luckily, the Herbivore mask is infused with Jasmine Flower Oil, which balances perfectly its natural notes with this stress reducing floral. P.S. So much more than an aromatic component, Jasmine has been proven to support healthy blood flow and detoxification by increasing levels of oxygen. In short, you will love this mask and its scent!
A range to keep on your radar, Herbivore is studded with gorgeous face oils, mists, and body treats. Explore the entire line at herbirovebotanicals.com and check them out at Sephora.com.
