Blueberry infused maintenance mask

Still learning about proper skin care? No need to be embarrassed. After all, every face has different needs! We recommend starting here. Prevent disasters by taking regular care with our deep cleaning blueberry mask, Catastrophe Cosmetic. The little blue bulbs are packed with vitamins, with a gentle calamine base to cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Use this one weekly as a deep cleansing treatment to kick off your regular skin care routine.

Features

  • Gentle enough for everyone: Catastrophe is one of our best-selling masks because it’s gentle on all skin types.
  • Local matters: We buy our blueberries for Catastrophe Cosmetic from a local farmer here in British Columbia.
  • Calm catastrophes: We use calamine powder for its calming and soothing effect.

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.

    This stuff is INCREDIBLE! My biggest concern with my skin is redness, and the sales associate immediately recommended this mask for me. Needless to say, I put it on the second I got home (after cleansing with Dark Angels) and after washing it off my face was immediately transformed. Not a single spot of redness, and it didn't dry me out at all!

    I was so excited to try this, i got a sample from the store. I wasnt very impressed with the smell once I put it on. It was way too perfume-y, and didnt smell at all like blueberries to me. For some strange reason it smelled nice in the store. I really wish they didnt put talc in it too! I just noticed that in the ingredients! :( Oh well, cant complain too much since it was only a sample. But I wont buy it thats for sure.

    Comments about LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic:

    I bought this mask a few days ago and have already used it twice. It says only to use weekly but if I had my way I'd use it every day! It feels good until it dries but then you know its time to take it off. I have combination skin which can also be reactive to new or cheap products that I put on my face. The sales associate at the store recommended this mask for me after voicing my concerns and I have had no issues what so ever with my skin reacting poorly. If anything I think it's improved! :)

      Comments about LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic:

      I love this product. At first I was hesistant because so many facial masks I have used before dry my face so much that I need to load on the moisturizer after... And what's the point to that? My roommate and I both use it even though we have different skin types. It smells great, easy to apply, and easy to wash off. My face feels great for days after. I recommend using it weekly!

            I don't know if it is just my skin or what. I found it very difficult to apply. Lots of fallouts and doesn't seem to stick to my skin well. Has this happened to anyone else? Overall, very gentle and soothing once you can apply it successfully.

                Comments about LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic:

                Let me just say I am in love with this product and will forever more purchase this product my entire life. It does have a distinct smell but does not bother me. I used it almost every night while away on vacation and I could not be more happier with it! First my skin is very acne prone and I have suffered immensely from acne for many years. But this stuff makes my pimples wayyy calmer and drys my skin out (very good cause i have oily skin). I was going to try out bc pills but have decided to try this mask out and see if I get any better. I will recommend this to oily acne prone skin only. If you have dry to normal skin than stay clear from this product as it will dry out your skin a lot. The best part of this mask is that it feels like clay when dried as so when i wash it off with water it instantly crumples away in the water. AMAZING!! Love love love this. If a Lush employee sees this post please make it in a bigger pot! I am going to uni and would love to have one that is bigger.

                This is a product that you cannot skip out on. You definitely have to try it. I hope it works for you and that you enjoy it as much as I do.

                  I just got this yesterday and I am IN LOVE WITH IT! I have never EVER doubted the power of Lush! This has to be my new favourite face mask. Let me tell you a little bit about my skin. I am African-American. I have combination, sensitive skin and uneven skintone (tanning unevenly). When I bought this yesterday, I had SOOOOO many breakouts on my forehead! My t-zone was EXTREMELY oily and my skin looked dull. I put this on after I took off my makeup and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then, I washed it off with warm water. Even when it was on, I could feel the tingly sensation of it deep cleaning my pores. After washing it off, my mom touched my cheeks and she complimented me on how smooth my skin felt! When I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror and Lord behold, the amount of breakouts on my skin had decreased immensely. I haven't even washed my face today and my skin feels extremely soft. I even noticed that it evened out my skin tone a little bit! If you don't buy this product, you NEED to get it!

                        This was actually my first mask from Lush, I used it three days in a row over Christmas one year and noticed my skin cleared right up! I just assumed all Lush masks would do that so I started using other masks, and trust me none of them were comparable to this mask! I finally realized this and have gone back to it, most amazing mask ever... for the first time ever my skins red tone is noticeably lessened!

                          Originally, after my first use of this product last night, I was planning to leave a pretty negative review - maybe 2 stars. The mask wasn't completely disastrous, just really drying; after I took it off, my first impression was that, okay, my skin *looked* alright. The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks from a series of nasty breakouts on my chin a few months back did look less red. However, I soon decided that even this effect was temporary, and that it was vastly outweighed by the mildly unpleasant feel of my skin afterward.

                          Then I woke up this morning.

                          So much for the redness-reducing effects being temporary. I swear, the whole area on the right of my chin leading up to the middle of my cheek was riddled with little red islands which are now... mostly gone. It just looks so much clearer and better, and I really think it's down to the mask.

                          One thing I will say is that this mask didn't seem to do anything to curb the incipient breakout on my forehead, so I wouldn't buy this with acne treatment/prevention in mind. For calming redness, though - yeah, definitely give it a try. Just be aware that it might not leave your skin FEELING so great immediately afterward.

                          This product is my favourite so far; trust me, I own at least 10 products right now. I found that this mask was great for my sensitive skin. I could actually feel my skin calm down and take a break from all its outrage! However, it didn't eliminate my pimple on my face. But no worries, nothing ever has. But at least this product felt good on my skin, did not make it breakout, and eliminated some of the oils.

                            This product is by far the best and my favourite of all of the Lush products. I have combination skin, my t-zone is generally oily and acne prone but my cheeks are dry and sensitive. I have tried other masks but this one is the one I keep coming back too. It's cost affective, easy to use and balances out my dry skin and oily t-zone. If I notice any acne, this is the lifesaving product for my sensitive skin that I buy. I keep it in the fridge to add a cooling affect when I apply it to my face. After use my skin becomes noticeably softer. Highly recommend this product to those new to Lush or loyal customers, it really is amazing.

                              I was so excited to try this, i got a sample from the store. I wasnt very impressed with the smell once I put it on. It was way too perfume-y, and didnt smell at all like blueberries to me. For some strange reason it smelled nice in the store. I really wish they didnt put talc in it too! I just noticed that in the ingredients! :( Oh well, cant complain too much since it was only a sample. But I wont buy it thats for sure.

                              I am a major lush-y. i had to try this mask! i have oily skin and it doesnt clean easily and it is a little sensitive...it always feels kind of gross and dirty. i used herbalism cleanser, slapped this on for 10 minutes, rinsed,dried, following with tea tree toner and vanishing cream. my face was deeply cleaned, yet still hydrated, it was mattifying and controlled oil and redness and calmed problem areas. it was also quite gentle for those with sensitive skin. my go-to mask! the only downside is the crumbles of mask was messy in the sink. but it was worth the wipe up...easy to clean and doesnt stain!

                                  This stuff is INCREDIBLE! My biggest concern with my skin is redness, and the sales associate immediately recommended this mask for me. Needless to say, I put it on the second I got home (after cleansing with Dark Angels) and after washing it off my face was immediately transformed. Not a single spot of redness, and it didn't dry me out at all!

                                      It says to use this mask "weekly", but I have used it twice so far this week. I have combination skin as well and I find this mask helps minimize irritation and redness with any spots I have on my face.

                                      The fresh masks are best used once or twice per week, as they are meant to be a deep cleansing treatment to help pull dirt and debris from the pores. It is a great one for combination skin to help achieve balance.

                                      We recommend using the Fresh Face Masks about 1-2 per week. If you use them frequently, then your skin can probably handle 3 times a week, especially because Catastrophe Cosmetic is so calming and gentle.
