   I asked my husband to buy me a face mask for dry skin.he remembered that I loved Freeman’s strawberry and chocolate mask and chose this one:7th Heaven Strawberry Cream
   It’s written on it: nourishes and refines non-drying mask.on the back of the packaging it says they have used crushed vanilla,juiced aloe vera and pulped strawberries in it and it says:with the natural goodness of strawberries blended with a gentle exfoliating action,this creamy delight will leave skin soft,smooth and sumptuous.use weekly for a healthy glow!
   I wasn’t happy when I learned that it’s an exfoliating mask as usually scrubs irritate and dry out my skin but decided to give it a chance because it’s written on it’s tube that it’s for dry skin type.it says in instructions to use section that first cleanse your face.then massage the product on your skin.relax for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it..it doesn’t say if I have to put and massage it on damp or dry skin.the first time I used it I applied it on my dry face and suddenly remembered that it’s a scrub and probably I’d better use it on wet face so that it won’t irritate my skin,but I continued to massage it on my skin for a minute.it has a creamy texture and was easy to massags even on dry face.scrub beads are tiny and not so harsh,still more harsh than St.Ives Oat Mask which is also for dry skin
   I expected to see a red,gel-cream-like texture like the one in the picture of it’s tube and was kind of disappointed to see it has a creamy white texture(it seems to be white but with slightest hint of pinkish undertone) but what I loved about it was it’s scent.it has a strong yet deliciously pleasant scent of strawberry.I wished I could eat it!
   That day I was doing something and forgot to wash it in 10-15 minutes and left it on my face for like half an hour.then rinsed it with warm water and used a soft towel to dry my face.I was afraid that my sensitive skin may be irritated because of using a scrub,specially on dry skin and leaving the product for longer than it’s been suggested but fortunately there was no irritation.it didn’t break me out and didn’t cause any kind of allergic reactions
   My skin was soft and smooth afterwards and didn’t feel dry.I felt a bit stretch/tight feeling in my skin but I feel that whenever I wash my skin even with tape water too.there was a hint of it’s lovely scent left on my skin.my skin didn’t feel deeply cleansed like when I use strong scrubs but those strong ones are harsh and hurt my sensitive skin
   What I loved about this mask was that it makes my skin look softer and brighter as if it tries to improve skin towards looking like baby skin..even when I tested it on back of my hand,it made that spot look brighter
   It doesn’t do any miracles but I don’t think any mask can do that.what it does is a mild exfoliation to remove dead skin and prevent my pores from clogging and make my skin look slightly more healthy and manages to do that without irritating or breaking down my skin or making it dry.so I’m glad to have it.
   It comes in a huge tube which looks cute and being cruelty free and vegan is a huge plus for me.It’s 175 mil and was priced 7$,so it’s slightly more expensive than freeman masks(most of freemans are priced 5$ here),it’s written on it’s tube that it can be used up to 12 times.we will see that.I have used it just three times(once per week),so far so good but I will edit and add if anything good or bad happens while using it

   Edit:
   This time I used a damp beauty sponge to wash the scrub off my face and wow! now I can call it a miracle product! I have a dry,flakey skin as I have Atopic Eczema and flakes don’t let me wear any foundation/BB Cream/tinted moisturizer.this mask-scrub managed to remove all the flakes and I could put on foundation after a month.I LOVE it!
   It could be my HG scrub if I could use it daily or at least three times a week.my skin becomes flakey in a day and I have to wear very rich creams(La Roshe Posay Lipikar Baume AP+ to be more specific) and I need to exfoliate my face more often to prevent clogging my pores and remove the thick layer of cream and flare ups.I don’t dare to use this scrub more often as it’s written on it to use once a week.if I can’t find a good daily scrub,I may try using this one more often to see if it works that way or irritates my skin
