I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- Smells to me like a toilet cleanser and toothpaste mix, I highly dislike the scent (minty, eucalyptus, etc)

- Even looks like a tooth paste/cleanser somehow because the cream is light green

- I don't understand the function of using the cleanser as a body mask but I don't do elaborate body routines anyway



+ Cleanses well, easy to wash off

+ Creamy consistency, not much lather or foam, not drying at all for me. Can see this one working for many skin types.

+ Also works as a body mask 

+ The scent doesn't linger on the skin

* I used Mio Clay Away Body Cleanser only as a cleanser, not a mask. It is interesting to try different cleansers even if they don't end up being my favorites. There's less risk of irritation or anything because my body is quite tough compared to my face.

Bought from: 

Got a mini in Lookfantastic Advent Calendar

Buy again? 

Definitely no.

Worth the money? 

For me, no. When I was using Mio's Clay Away Body Cleanser I just couldn't help but think, "glad this is such a small tube it'll be finished quickly and I don't have to smell it again!" The world is full of other cheaper and bigger bottles of unscented or nicely scented body cleansers that work just as well.
