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.

I am blown away by this product. I have the dreaded combination skin, so it is either really dry or really oily, but it is always sensitive. I had tried sacred truth a few months earlier and it did not do anything for my skin. So I had my doubts about oatifix, but I was proved so wrong. It smells amazing it leaves my skin feeling balanced and fresh! I am on my 2nd pot of oatifix and I plan on buy another once I run out. I tip though if you are new to the fresh face mask, ignore the date on the bottom. They keep much longer than what the date will probably say. You will know when you open your face mask if it is still good. I have had mine now 2 weeks over the date that it was set to expire. So if you are in the market for a mask I would recommend this one a million times if I could!

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.

    I have dry, sensitive skin which gets even worse in winter months. One of the ladies who works at my local Lush recommeneded this to me and it was love at first use! It's super moisturizing, smells amazing (like oatmeal cookies) and helped calm the redness I get in my cheeks. It has now become one of the products I buy every time I visit Lush.

      Comments about LUSH Oatifix:

      I just purchased this mask and it is astounding how fresh and glowing my skin is after just one use. During these cold winter months, my skin becomes very dry so I was pleased when I used this and discovered that this could be the solution to dull, dry skin. It smells incredible too! I was immediately inspired to bake some vegan oatmeal banana chocolate chip cookies after using this mask.

        I made the mistake of using a new face wash, my normally oily acne prone skin went so dry it hurt to moove my mouth! it was awful, so i went to lush and asked for a fix, they handed me Otifix and i went home and used it right away. IT WORKED. I cant believe the relief i felt after this product. THANK YOU LUSH

        Comments about LUSH Oatifix:

        I happen to be blessed with skin thats pretty much always great. I rarely break out, never too dry, too oily, or too anything. So, I use facemasks to get it extra soft and bright! This one was excellent for that. While washing it off, I kept splashing water thinking "when will it come off, this feels too smooth and creamy" but I realized that was my skin! On a sidenote, I have this odd habit where I bite my lips and sometimes they get hard dead skin on them. I put a little of oatfix on that too and it basically took it away! :x Awesome mask for dry skin, or normal skin! Very gentle and smells like banana oatmeal and vanilla, mmmm.

            this is a vary moisturizing mask, if you use full of grace and put this mask on.. do something for awhile wash it off, your face will be supple but that's not all! this mask acts as a wonderful discrustation with mean it softens your skin to the point where your pores are open white heads, black heads, millia.. after soften to the point where there's easy extractions and no heat necessary. now i have used professional brands of decrustations and i got to say nothing makes extractions easier then this mask! my skin is almost always dehydrated so extractions are extremely hard but with this mask it just slides out! now those of you that are going to attempt to do this with out professional training don't over due it you don't want to try to hard to the point where your bleeding or have clear water like fluid that means the pimple is either under developed or you've already got everything and even tho i don't really recommend picking or popping with out professional help, i also know that almost near impossible for someone to do.. so be careful! but enjoy this mask to the fullest.

                    I went to Lush in Macy's and I really needed a good mask. I informed the sales associate that I had dry skin and she recommended Oatfix. The minute I smelled it I knew I had to buy it. The mask smells like a mix of bananas and almonds. The mask left my skin feeling very soft and hydrated. I will definitely get this mask again.

                      I had gotten a bad sunburn on my face (just before my first day of school!) and was recommended this face mask to help with the disgusting peeling I was experiencing. This product worked immediately and took off all of the dead skin and left my face good as new.

                        First things first. I bought this product because it was recommended by a Lush SA. I told her that my skin is nice - it doesn't get super oily or super dry. I don't break out too often. I'm also a vegan. She recommended this to me.
                        I tried it out and I did really like it. It smelled amazing and putting it on chilled felt so soothing and relaxing.
                        The only negative thing is that since my skin isn't exactly dry, it made my skin feel a little oily. It also didn't feel like it really cleansed my pores. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with dry skin but I probably won't be getting again since I just don't need it.

                          I've had the chance to try out quite a few of the Lush Face Masks. Oatfix is definitely one of my favorites. A few weeks ago I broke out in hives all over my face and arms. Unfortunately, I've moved to Upstate New York where there isn't a Lush store at my disposal, but after a few days of being uncomfortable and itching I read the oatmeal is a good relief. I tried to copy the ingredients and make my own version of the mask, it helped 100%! I'm sure that if I had the opportunity to use Oatfix earlier on my problems would have been immediately answered. Whether you have sensitive skin or just want a relaxing evening Oatfix is a must; just make sure to have a couple of oatmeal cookies near by to fix the craving!!

                                After "researching" the various face masks on lush.com, I finally went ahead and bought Oatifix. I didn't try it out in the store and I didn't get a sample, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, as soon as I opened the pot, I fell in love! This mask smells unbelivably amazing! In fact it smells so good, you might be tempted to eat it. Besides being quite yummy smelling, it also helped soothe the redness in my skin. For the past year or so, I have been suffering from red, itchy skin and nothing has helped relieve these conditions until now. Thank you for making such a fabulous and affordable product, Lush! P.S. You need to make some pumpkin pie-smelling items. ;)

                                      The harsh Minnesota winters can really take a toll on my skin (especially when I'm walking to class in the middle of January!) Oatfix is AWESOME when it comes to soothing red, chapped skin, and restoring my skin to its usual softness. A lot of people complain that it's too "chunky" and "hard to apply," but I find that adding water to it really helps and doesn't detract from its awesome softening abilities!

                                          TO LUSH! This was one of the first things I got from Lush and OMG....you don't even KNOW how much I've spent on this and that "moisturizing" "deep hydrating" whoblaa from other companies.. and then 30 minutes later the area around my nose and cheeks are sooo dry again! The first time I used this was the first time I found true love. In myself, of course.. because my face is soooo nice now..but oatfix plays a HUGE part in making me feel like a majestic fawn.

                                            I really enjoy having my girl time and doing facials. This one I like to use right before showering since it gets pretty messy. I got a sunburn last week and this was just what my skin needed to soothe and smooth.

                                                  I tried this out in the store, and waited until the next day to purchase, because I wanted to make sure it didn't break me out. I'm happy to report it didn't! My skin is EXTREMELY dry and somewhat sensitive, new products often make me break out. I didn't have any bad reactions, and it left my skin glowing and dewy :) Usually even with a moisturizer, my face gets flaky patches throughout the day, and I have to re-moisturize. The day after I used Oatifix my skin was perfectly moisturized without a flake in sight- this will definately be a regular purchase!

                                                  The only negative is it is pretty gloppy and messy, but thats not really a big deal.

                                                    Living in Colorado, my skin dries up so easily, but when I use Oatfix, al my problems seem to disappear. It smells fantastic, and my skin fells so soft I can't even believe it! If its even a thought in your mind to buy this, I would.

                                                    I was really excited to try this since it got such good reviews. First off, it smells SOOOOOO GOOD! I find myself going into my fridge all the time, just to smell it! I will admit though, when I was washing it off in the bath, I really didn't feel a difference, but once I dried my face, IT WAS SO SOFT! I love that the scent lingers too! I'm just dissapointed that the shelf life is only about 20 days, because my Lush is pretty far away, but the drive is so worth it!

                                                    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.

                                                        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.
