The Queen of face masks!

Advantages: Low price + large tube + gorgeous mint scent + really works!
Disadvantages: Sulfur smell - flip-top would be better - possibly update the design

...star removed partly because of the Sulphur smell. INGREDIENTS Purified Water Kaolin Bentonite Glycerin Zinc Oxide Propylene Glycol Sulfur Chromium Oxide Greens Fragrance Phenoxyethanol Methylparaben TIPS ON USING MINT JULEP MASK To use this, I cleanse my face thoroughly then pat it with a towel, but not so that my face is completely dry. I find it easier to apply the mask if my skin is a little damp to start with. I layer it on, let it dry for about 30-40 minutes, before gently rinsing/scrubbing it off. It leaves your skin perfectly primer for a moisturiser or night cream. PRICE The price is great and Julep Mask is good value for money. I will repurchase this at some point, despite the egg smell it omits. It works too well to not repurchase it. AVAILABILITY Some people have said that they cannot find this item...

Review of Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask

** Lick My Face!! **

Advantages: Gorgeous smell, skin softening, bargain!
Disadvantages: Not Edible!!!!

...made this face mask even more tempting was that it was chocolate fragranced. Well... that's how it was advertised and I got sucked in. So in my basket it went. The next time I went in the bath I decided to give myself a little treat. It claimed to warm the skin and the natural clay opens the pores to sweep away grime and impurities. Well if all it did was make me feel relaxed then I would still be happy. The face mask itself is in a silver and white sachet which I hate opening as it is sometimes just impossible if you have wet hands. (And being in the bath this is most likely!) So I did the wise move of snipping the corner before I got in. Bare that in mind people. I squeezed gently and out came a fairly thick cream, dark brown and soft to the touch. It spread really well over my face and there was surprisingly plenty to go on so I...

Review of Superdrug Skin Rescue Warming Chocolate Face Mask

Clear skin with Boots tea & Witch Hazel peel off face mask!!!!!

Advantages: cheap! clears spots!
Disadvantages: can't use in the bath as timesaver.

...I first bought this product about 4 years ago after suffering with skin prone to acne since my teens. I initially bought it after a massive outbreak of spots when I had given up on all my other products which didn't seem to be doing much for my skin apart from making it worse. I already used tea tree cleansing wipes, so I new about the antibacterial and healing properties of tea tree for skin. I bought this at boots for £2.99 which seemed fairly reasonable as it would last a few months and £2.99 isn't much money to lose if it turned out not to be very good! I got home and removed my make-up, cleaned my face and dried it thoroughly before applying a thin coat of the gel to my face. It was very cold and quite refreshing! I waited 15 minutes for it to dry (it says wait between 10-15 minutes) before peeling it off. My face felt tight...

Review of Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask

Fantastic Face Mask for Fresh Faced Skin

Advantages: 100% Natural Ingredients, Smells Lovely, Little Goes a Long Way
Disadvantages: Might be a bit expensive for some people

...uplifting. I usually tend to squeeze a small amount onto the back of my hand and then use my fingers to apply to the face, paying attention not to get too close to the area around the eyes. One of the things I love about this mask is that you really don't need to put it on too thickly, some masks require a really think layer which I think feels quite uncomfortable on the skin. Apply in a thin layer so that the skin is barely visible through the mask, you then leave it for your desired amount of time. I usually leave it on for between 10 - 15 minutes while I'm doing the washing up or watching one half of Coronation Street. Stick an intensive conditioning treatment on your hair at the same time and do two beauty treatments at once. Unlike some other masks I have tried this doesn't dry up on the skin so much that it becomes constrictive. I...

Review of Decleor Mask Argile Et Aux Herbes / Clay & Herb Mask

Superdrug Face Mask

Advantages: Cheap, does its job, refreshing
Disadvantages: Looks cheap

...I'm feeling terrible at the moment - I think I've caught some virus or something, and decided to perk myself up with a face mask. I dug out my trusty self-heating mud mask from the Natural Collection at Boots but I only had a tiny bit left. My mum was going shopping anyway yesterday, so I sent her to Boots to pick up a tube for me, but being my mother, she had decided that self-heating ones weren't good for the skin and bought me one from Superdrug! There are a few different versions, but I got the sensitive version. It comes in a plain white tube with MASK written vertically across it, in big turquoise letters. It does look slightly cheap, but for £1.59, what do you expect? It contains 75ml of the face mask, and it's really just a thick white paste that smells slightly of E45 cream if you sniff the bottle, but when you have it on...

Review of Superdrug Face Mask

Replenishing Dry Skin!

Advantages: Great smell, reasonably priced and says what it does!
Disadvantages: Doesn't come in a tub.

...myself with perfume this isn't a problem for me. - The texture This is surprisingly thin in texture. Given that it is a dry skin lotion, I was expecting it to be richer and thicker in consistency. Sainsbury's are certainly correct in their claim that it isn't greasy and it absorbs quickly in to my skin, in particular the drier skin sections. This is another positive for this lotion as so many others take what feels like an age to absorb in to your skin. - Effectiveness at hydrating my skin I don't have very dry skin all over but suffer from dry patches and flakiness on my shins, in particular during cold weather spells. This lotion has worked efficiently in these areas and has certainly kept the unsightly flakes at bay and has reduced the itchiness of these areas, if used regularly. ~ My Verdict ~ Overall I am pleased with this...

Review of Sainsburys Replenishing Dry Skin Lotion

A great face mask

Advantages: Easy to apply, leaves face feeling cleansed and refreshed
Disadvantages: None

...face because it is so thick. Once I have covered my face with it, my skin just looks shiny. I can feel this working straight away. I can feel it tingling on my face and as the minutes pass, I can feel the mask tighten slightly. Approximately twenty minutes later I touch my face to see if the mask has dried, and it has. The removal of it is simple - I just loosen a piece of the mask on the side of my face and lift it off. The mask virtually comes off in one piece. After removing the mask I am surprised how soft my face feels. It also feels cleansed and nice and refreshed. When I take a closer look in the mirror, I also find that the couple of blackheads I had on my noise are not quite as visible. OTHER INFORMATION For more information on the product you can have a look at Avon's website, which is www...

Review of Avon Tea Tree Peel-Off Face Mask

Effective for baby's dry skin

Advantages: perfume free, easily absorbed, cheap;can be used everyday by the whole family including babies
Disadvantages: clears up dry patch really well, but doesn't cure it

...required. For external use only. If symptoms persist consult your doctor. I used about 6 times a day on my baby's face. ------------------------------------ 3. The effect I like the fact that It's perfume free!!! - which i think is very important to baby skin problems. It?s non-greasy, quickly and easily absorbed. I applied it on my baby. It quickly calmed down the dry/red areas really well and helped keep the skin moist, leaving her skin feeling soft and comfortable again. The dry patch cleared up by the next day. Athough I don't know if it's possible that the 'flare up' would have cleared on it's own....

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

Dry Skin

Advantages: effective,
Disadvantages: none

...I bought dermatological E45 cream for my husband, as he had dry skin on one of his fingers. E45 cream is for dry skin conditions. It comes in a white 50g tube. You can also buy it in a tub as well, but we have the tube. The cream is white and not at all greasy. This is good as you do not get all sticky using it. You can use E45 for the following skin conditions:- dry itching flaking chapped skin sunburn detergent hands eczema dermatitis ichyhyosis To use E45 apply the cream to the dry skin area 2-3 times a day. My husband usually used it twice. He would put it on first thing in the morning and then later on when he got home from work usually. We bought E45 from morrison's quite a while ago now. It cost about £2.99, but I'm not quite sure, so I could be wrong. Ingrediants in this cream are:- white soft paraffin...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

e45 - the dry skin hero!

Advantages: effective cream.
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...I, like many others suffer from eczema and dry skin is often a problem. However, I think that e45 dermatological cream helps reduce the problem. E45 is non-greasy and unscented and helps to treat dry, flaking and chapped skin. It also helps sunburn too. Is there anything it can't do? Well it can't get rid of eczema completely but it dramatically decrease the problem. The product is also good as as it doesn't sting or cause any irritation. Just make sure to rub it in completely so there's none left wherever you've applied it and you'll have your skin smoother than a baby's bottom in no time! :) This one little tub does a big job. It's true what they say good things come in small packages....
