For plumped-up, super soft skin
Review of Elemis Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask by
lillamarta
Advantages: Works wonders on sensitive, fragile, redness-prone, dehydrated skin
Disadvantages: Price
...Treatment: Anti-Aging
Why Elemis
Elemis is a high-end skincare brand that also operates spas around Britain. They are using the latest technological advances in anti-aging skincare combining it with natural active ingredients. As long as can remember I have had rosaceous complexion coupled with very sensitive skin so since last July I have had regular Elemis facials to address these issues.
Why Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask? ... ...to the drying ingredients. The Elemis Moisturising Mask is a soft, very gentle sink-in moisturiser that will not dry your skin and for maximum moisturisng effect, you can even leave it on for the night. I got a couple of free 3ml samples of this a few times after my Elemis facial and I found them so effective that I invested in some more.
Packaging
As most Elemis products the moisturising mask comes in a simple but elegant grey packaging ...

Face masks; have you ever used one?
Review of Natural Collection Moisturising Face Mask with Avocado Extract by
Loopy_Lulu
Advantages: They are packaged well and smell good enough to eat and they come cheap if you buy 3 for 2
Disadvantages: They make your face sting so much you want to wash it off quite soon
...But, when I tried the Natural collections face mask at a friends house, most of us began to find we had itchy face, and not long after, our faces began to sting. Not long after that, I had to wash it all off and my skin had gone red. I don't think it was sensitive skin, because most of us were getting the same problem.
It may have been that a problem in the making of a few had gone wrong, I really don't know, but I know it wasn't a pleasant experiance. ... ...had only praise before, but I will not be using them for a while, at least not the brand. I do think however that they generally are a nice treat and you should try it yourself.
The come in ranges of flavours, and different one exfoliate, whilst other mosturise. ...

Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask
Review of The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink In Moisture Mask by
BananaNoodle
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 ...

The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask
Review of The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask by
BananaNoodle
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 ...
