Tried & Tested: Izil Detoxifying Body Mask Powder

July 29, 2014 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

I’ve wanted to try this for weeks now, I just didn’t have the time.  During the month of Ramadan, I kept myself busy with Princess B and dedicating at least 1 hour of my time going to the park to jog. Then our nanny had to go home, that means I had to give up my short everyday “me time” and just concentrate on B. 

Anyway, enough of the “excuses”! I finally had a chance to try this all natural detoxifying clay. 

Izil Detoxifying Body Mask Powder

IZIL is a Berber word that means “pure“

It is a highly effective natural cosmetic brand, made in Morocco and which products are made from organically certified highest quality Argan Oil, together with other natural, pure and rare ingredients.

The detoxifying mask is the second treatment in the Hammam ritual. The clay is a combination of Rhassoul Clay and 7 essential oils that help free cells of their toxins, restoring them to their purest, most vital, youthful state. 

The process is a bit messy but its worth it. Mix the powder with a little warm water (or Rose water if you’re feeling a bit fancy) to create a paste. The packaging says NO fragrance but I can smell roses and earth (duh, its clay!). I guess they meant that it doesn’t have artificial fragrance in it. 

Apply a thin layer of the paste on your body (in my case, I tried it on my hand because I can’t do my whole body. It would be really really difficult to run after a toddler when you’re covered in mud!), preferably after exfoliation. Leave it to dry for 1o minutes.

The clay mask is cold and as it hardens, I felt my skin tightening. No itchiness. I washed it off with warm water. 

Left Hand: after the treatment. Right Hand: No treatment

Can you see a difference on the above photos? My hand was a bit red after removing the clay but it cleared up just after a few minutes. My left hand looks whiter, doesn’t it? It’s also clearer and less wrinkly in person! 

Check out their website for more information on these products. You can follow Izil Natural Argan Beauty on Facebook and Instagram. Products are available in Dubai Festival City and Madinat Jumeirah Souq. 

Have you tried Izil Beauty products? Which ones do you recommend?

I would love to try their Multi-purpose Argan Oil … I’ve heard it works wonders on the hair! (and I need all the help with my hair, right?!)

Note: this product was given to me for review purposes, however, all opinions are mine.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
