Oatifix

Soothing banana mask for dry skin

Few things are more soothing than a big bowl of banana porridge, all sweet and squishy. Did you know the same is true for your skin? Sensitive, dry or irritated faces love Oatifix for its calming oats, softening mashed banana and ground almonds to slough away flaky skin. Keep in mind that dry skin doesn’t just occur in the winter! The sun can be equally harsh, as UV rays penetrate the dermis and heat can leave you feeling tight and dry. Treat your face to our most moisturizing mask all year round, and follow up with a spritz of Breath of Fresh Air toner for seriously soothed skin.

Features

  • On a Goldilocks quest? Oatifix is just right for super sensitive, dry or irritated faces.
  • Calm skincare catastrophes: Oats are naturally anti-histemic, meaning they calm and soothe reactions or redness.
  • We’ve gone bananas! We use freshly mashed bananas in Oatifix to soften and moisturize dry skin.

How to use How it's made

How to use

Cleanse your face and pat dry. Smooth a good dollop of Fresh Face Mask over your entire face, making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes (do not let the mask dry completely). Now is a good time to read the latest LUSH Times…And finally, wash off with warm water and follow with your favorite toner and moisturizer.

After this product has been sitting in the cold refrigerator, the consistency is thicker and takes a bit of work to massage onto the skin. You have to really go for it here - no wimpy applications allowed, or else it won't stick and you'll have delicious smelling oatmeal chunks in your sink, instead of on your skin where they should be. Although the refrigeration makes application seem messier, the cool feeling is rather refreshing! Plus, it smells really yummy, similar to Brown Sugar Oatmeal from Quaker Oats.

So, now that its been sitting on your skin for about 10 minutes, it's time to wash it off. This part is tricky too. Since it's sticky from all the honey, splashing with water is not enough. You'll have to splash, massage in circular motions (again, don't be wimpy!) and you will finally need a damp wash cloth to remove everything. This is actually nice, because you get some good exfoliation and your skin feels very invigorated from all the stimulation.

Now, your skin feels soft, supple, invigorated and very, very moisturized. Actually, depending on just how dry your skin is, you may want to follow up with a quick, mild cleanser just to remove the moisture left behind from the mask. I do like that feeling, however, so I let it be, pat dry, spritz my toner and slather on my moisturizer.

Soothed, calmed, moisturized, and soft. Very lovely feeling. I gave this product only 4 stars because it is very messy, and doesn't multitask as much as other LUSH products - it is primarily a moisturizing, gently exfoliating mask.

Oh! I must say that you also get quite a few uses out of the small jar. I almost had a hard time using it all up before the expiration date. Although, little secret here... I still used mine a few days after it expired. (Shh!) It smelled exactly the same, delicious, felt the same, and gave the same results/experience as it did pre-"expiration." My refrigerator is very cold... I would just play it by ear and use it however you feel.

I tend to have dry, extremely sensitive skin and LUSH s.a.'s originally suggested that I try oatifix and b.b. seaweed. Oatifix was very nice, but also had the tendency to break me out (I know, weird, oatmeal is anti-inflammatory, my skin is just strange) and I could never be sure how much I was getting off. I also had to use it exclusively before bed to experience the effect the next morning, and sometimes my skin would feel like it couldn't breathe overnight. Despite all that, it still left my skin soft and supple the mornings after, and usually my skin had calmed down.

Would I repurchase? Before, yes. But then I tried The Sacred Truth, and I will probably never use anything else.

Moral of the story: S.A.'s are great helpers, but only your skin can tell you what it wants. :) Don't be discouraged if this product disappoints you.

    Comments about Oatifix fresh face mask:

    I originally went into Lush to buy Catastrophe Cosmetic because it smelled amazing and I hadn't yet tried out a Lush face mask. Unfortunately, they were all out so I went with my other choice of Oatifix and am so glad that I did. I have very dry skin, so I was looking for something to help with that. After every use (sometimes a week straight and sometimes a few days in the week) my skin feels amazing. When I rinse it off, my face is incredibly smooth and it smells really great when it's just sitting on my face as well. It does feel like it could be a bit "heavy" on some people, but since my skin is so dry it works wonders for me. I will definitely be buying this again.

      I've only been aware of Lush for a little bit and this was my first time using one of the face masks. I know I have sensitive skin and I was confident Oatfix would work wonders for my face. How right I was!

      Besides smelling amazing (it smells so good I could eat it), it made my face incredibly soft to touch. I feel so refreshed right now, thanks Lush!

        Leaves my face soft as a baby's bottom! My skin is rough and dry on some days and super oily on others. This mask really finds that in between balance. It really gets rid of the rough patches on my face. Best part about it is that you dont have to use a lot to get the full effect, so this 2.1 oz container is perfect. LOVE IT :)

          I bought this because it smelled too amazing not to. I really wanted to love it, but the something in the mask irritated my skin and caused it to becme red and itchy. I have normal to combination skin and when I rinsed off the mask, my face felt a little bit oily. I gave it to my friend who has dry skin and is less sensitive and she had great results and loved it. So while it didn't work for me, I think it would be great for people with dry skin. I wish it had worked for me because it is hands down the best smelling mask at lush!

            I've been using this product for awhile now, and every time I go into LUSH, I already know I want to pick it up. I have dry/sensitive skin, and just about everything else I've used, is either too rough or doesn't moisturizer enough. I actually just used it, and my skin is very smooth. My face was a little red after I took it off but maybe I was just rubbing my face too hard. I think I found something I will use for awhile.

                I was in desparate need of a face mask to calm my skin after a week's battle with drying acne medication like BP and SA. I used this literally every day and everytime I washed it off, my face felt so smooth, moisturized and clean. I didn't feel like I needed any other products. My skin was finally going from dry to normal. When I ran out, I felt a difference right away. My skin was a little more tight after cleansing, flakies and the texture changed. I will continue to purchase this mask!

                  I use this product every two days (which is kind of a lot)but you can see the difference. This product is extremely moisturizing and goes on easy.I was expecting it to be just another face mask but this exceeded my expectations. This product is great for someone who has sensitive and dry skin.

                    This is absolutely one of my LUSH must haves. I have dry skin around my cheeks and my forehead so an associate recommended Oatifix to me. It was the best decision of my life. I put it on my whole face 2 or 3 times a week and my skin automatically feels tighter, fresher, and moisturized. On the plus side there is also a great smell with the bananas and almonds

                      I have dry skin in the winter months but also in the summer with all the sunscreen and being in the sun. I got Oatifix and I adore it! It smells like an oatmeal cookie is on my face. It brings the right amount of moisture back into my skin without making it feel to oily. This is a total life saver! I use it every other day or every 3 days at night before I go to sleep. But unlike the other face masks this wont dry up on your face while you wait for it to dry, it remains moist.

                      Comments about Oatifix fresh face mask:

                      I am allergic and hypersensitive to almost anything topical (even Vaseline, just on my lips). I had been using an expensive hypo allergenic line for a year when my skin started reacting adversely. I had dry skin under oil, accompanied by breakouts, with hives and itching.
                      I feel awful because I am driving the girls crazy at the king of Prussia store whom have been honest and patient. Especially, the assistant manager. She is a gem, and has awesome taste in music.
                      After trying numerous products, I found the safest and most tolerable by myself and skin thus far is Oatifix. Cosmetic catastrophe completely dried my skin out, and broke it out. Oatifix is balancing and smells wonderful. I REALLY want to eat it. I also purchased herbalism and that's a no go:(. I received samples of blousey and retread...my hair smells like the most delicious bubblegum EVER, and my face smells like banana bread.
                      Thank you to the girls at KOP for dealing with me and my skin.

                      Greatly appreciated,

                            I washed my face with Angels on Bare Skin and slathered this on my face to help with my flaky combination skin. Connecticut winters are so harsh!
                            The only thing I hate about this mask is that I can't eat it! Sitting with it on my face for five minutes makes me SO HUNGRY- it smells just like freshly baked banana bread!
                            It made my skin so silky smooth, I went around telling everyone, "Go ahead, touch my face. TOUCH IT!" It's not as exfoliating as Love Lettuce, which I thought would be a bad thing, but with how much it softens skin, it almost doesn't matter. Pamper yourself with this mask!!

                              I use this mask 2 times a week, right after washing my face with Lush Ocean Salt scrub. My complexion has never been so smooth and clear. I have the worst sensitive skin and this just works beautifully with controlling redness and also doesn't leave a oily feel. I wish i could buy a lifetime supply. It smells good enough to eat. I'm also 17 years old and prone to acne. This is the first time ever i haven't broken out!

                              Since it's winter, my skin needed some hydration so I bought Oatifix. It smells divine and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. I have dry skin on my cheeks and an oily t-zone but this seemed to work well for me.

                              Only complaint is that it is a little thick when you put it on. It doesn't glide well over your face so you end up with globs of it in random spots. Other than that, it's great!

                                    This was my first time trying a Lush fresh mask and this did wonders to my skin during the dry winter months. The moment you wash it off, you can instantly feel the smoothness minus the shine. You do want to wash this one off well else you'll be left with little white spots.

                                      One of the employees at my local Lush store recommended that I use this for my sensitive skin, and it's wonderfully moisturizing and soothing. It's helped to cut down on my acne significantly, and I've been using it every other day for about a week. But, regardless of what it does for my skin, I would buy this again because it makes me smell like a delicious and tantalizing loaf of banana bread, and that is enough to make this face mask worth it.

                                        I confess - I bought this because I wanted to smell like a cookie. I smells amazinnnng, and works pretty well too. My skin was noticeably happier after use. The only bad thing was it was super hard to use because the product is super thick. It's hard to spread and wash off. Other than that, highly recommended!

                                        This is the most amazing product in the world! I recently tried it out for the first time, and I will definitely repurchase it. It smells amazing, softens my skin, and gets rid of redness and irritation. Thank you so much, Lush! I am going to try other face masks, but I'm tempted to just stick with this one. AMAZING.

                                          Oatifix was first recommended to me at Lush while I was going through a period of extremely dry (I'm talking flakes), sensitive skin due to an acne medication that was working my face from the deeper layers out, so I was really desperate for some relief. I started using Oatifix religiously and it was amazing! It smells wonderful (sort of like a mixture of oatmeal, banana, and honey- good enough to eat!) and doesn't dry in the same way that most masks do, so I'll leave it on for a while and just enjoy the scent. When using, I'll take it out of the fridge and let it soften for a minute or two before scooping any out of the pot so that it's easier to work with. It has a unique consistency, so I'll usually start at my forehead and work my way down my face to make sure it's applied evenly. Oatifix is absolutely fantastic for dry skin, it moisturizes without irritating or leaving skin greasy- love it!

                                          I've been a Lushie via internet purchases for awhile, though today was my first visit to a store. I picked up this incredible little mask at one of the Seattle, WA locations.

                                          I was stoked to check out the fresh face masks since I can't purchase them online and I was instantly drawn to the delicious scent of Oatfix. It smells like a combo of banana nut muffins and fresh baked oatmeal cookies. Absolutely scrumptious! Not only does it smell wonderful, but it's also super moisturizing. My skin felt quenched and nourished, and I felt pampered.

                                          I'll definitely purchase this mask again!

                                              A:

                                              Fresh masks need to be kept in the refrigerator at all times because they do not contain any preservatives. For Oatifix, you should be able to use it once or twice a week, depending on your skin. It's very gentle and nourishing for the skin.
