...mask as part of a Gatineau gift set that Brian bought from QVC for me. We watch a lot of QVC and no doubt I would have been giving this some lustful looks! Gatineau for those of you unfamiliar with the brand, was the creation of French lady, Madame Jeanne Gatineau a chiropodist and physiotherapist. In 1950 she successfully opened her very own Gatineau Beauty School. Gatineau have a research laboratory in Bezons, France and from here have developed ...
...had no such reaction to Gatineau Laser Mask. Using this mask a couple of times a week will visibly improve the appearance of our skin - I can vouch for this wholeheartedly. My skin feels almost velvet like in the mornings following use and has a radiance to it. I have noticed this helps improve the elasticity of my skin too. It promises to hydrate and resurface the skin using the energy of light. Now, quite how it achieves this - I have no idea, ... Read review

Advantages: Moisturises. Smells nice.
Disadvantages: Tingles. Sticky.

...I thought of it. The mask reminds me of a very thick night cream that doesn't absorb very easily. It's light pink in colour and smells slightly of roses. Putting it on is straight forward enough - I just smeared it on like any other face mask. There are no special precautions such as avoiding eyes written on my sample pot but I decided it was probably best to avoid the area directly under my eyes. When I first applied the mask it all got absorbed ...
...When the mask was on it made my skin feel very strange indeed. Almost as if it was chilling my skin and there was a slightly unpleasant tingling sensation which had me worried about what state my skin was going to be in when I took the mask off. This was very unexpected as it isn't labeled as an exfoliant or spot prevention mask - I had assumed moisturising masks were meant to be gentle. Having resisted the temptation to wash it off quickly I waited ... Read review

Advantages: Smells nice, warming feels nice, leaves skin smooth.
Disadvantages: Difficult to remove.

I noticed this in the Body Shop (which is actually quite hard as the packaging is really plain (see picture!) and thought I'd give it a go. It's for all skin types and contains no added colour of fragrance so I thought this would be good for my skin which can occassionaly react badly to facemasks. I'd try a tester of this before purchasing as it gets warm which may not suit all skins. Before using the mask I washed my face with water (you have ...
...the water and become warm) and then I just smeared it on. It says to apply a generous layer but the mask is quite thick so I'd say it is a bit hard to cover your face without using a generous layer so I don't know why they put that! The mask smells lovely, and as it sits on your face it reacts with the water and you can feel the warming sensation. The warming doesn't always last the whole 5 minutes you are supposed to leave it on for. You are supposed ... Read review

I am happy to report that YES I would use this one again, it really did leave my skin feeling soft and clean, the sachet also had enough of the product in it to cover my whole face and neck. I have bought and ... Read review
