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

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

A great face mask

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

...BACKGROUND I like to pamper myself every now and then with a face mask, but because my skin is quite sensitive, I have to be careful about which one I choose. PRODUCT The face mask that I have purchased is from Avon's Naturals range and is a Tea Tree peel off mask. The tube contains 75ml and retails for about £3.50. Avon occasionally does special offers with their Naturals range, where you can buy any three items for £5. When these offers happen I stock up on lots of tubes, so I haven't had to buy any of these for a while, but my stocks are becoming very low. PACKAGING The tube itself is clear and has the name of the product on the front and a picture of a tree. The back of the tube has instructions for use and ingredients. I like the idea that this tube is clear, as I can see when it starts to run low, so I can...

Review of Avon Tea Tree Peel-Off 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.

..., and smooth and a lot less greasy than it usually fells, I was quite impressed. You are only meant to use it occassionaly but as my skin was so bad I used it for about four days in a row and it seemed to make my spots go quicker than they usually would, as well as making my skin look healthier and giving it more of a glow! (I however would not recommend you go against the recommended use on the back of the package in case of long term damage to your skin-i.e. more wrinkles!) I was especially happy about this product as it seems to be made for greasy skin so leaves skin dryer, unlike so clay or other masks. Also you don't have the hassle of washing annoying bits of wet mask off of your face as it peels off so easily! It came in incredibly handy when my sister got married as I was chief bridesmaid and had a horrible outbreak a week before...

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

Scrummy Mask!

Advantages: Super-soft skin, smells yummy
Disadvantages: None

...I visited my local Lush branch last week in search of a fresh face mask to sort out my tired looking skin. I do use their products fairly regularly, but it had been some weeks since I'd used a fresh mask and my face felt like it could do with a treat. I went towards the end of the day and was pleasantly surprised that they still had a full range of fresh masks, although this did make my job of deciding which one to take home a little more difficult! The lady working there suggested trying their most recent conconction -oatifix. She said it was deeply moisturising and particularly suited to dry and sensitive skin. For those of you who haven't tried Lush's range of Fresh Face masks - these are made with fresh ingredients (which can often be found in your kitchen) and contain no preservatives. For this reason they need to be kept in...

Review of Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

Face mask

Advantages: Self Heat
Disadvantages: None

...Firstly this was my situation a few months ago, my skin was dull, lacking life, dry.I desperately needed a change. I decided to treat myself to a face mask, this of which i was extremely attracted to from reviews i have heard previously in a magazine, also the packaging was appealing and attractive to the eye. It has not been tested on animals. I have sensitive skin and therefore it was a prioty that i got something that would not irritate my skin, this of which is perfect as it is suitable for all skin types. Available from a variety of stores including boots, superdrug and lloyds. As it is a heat mask at first coming out of the packet it will feel cold.....but do not panic! Before application throughly cleanse your face, removing any trace of makeup. Place product in hand hot water for one minute, Apply evenly over...

Review of Biore Self-Heating Moisture Mask

The Mask

Advantages: Easy to use, lasts a long time, cleanses and purifies your skin.
Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...?~ Okay being in my 30s I don't really suffer from blemishes so perhaps this isn't the most appropriate face mask for me but since I was given this as a gift, I thought I would give it a whirl! On opening the lid, you are hit with a strong smell of peppermint, not my favourite smell but not my worst, so bearable. The cream itself is very 'creamy', rich and very very smooth to the touch. Scoop some of the cream out of the tub and apply to your face with your fingertips. It goes on very easily, avoiding the eyes and lip area so that by the time you are finished it's quite a scary and oh so unattractive look, especially today since my eyes were still a little blooshot from last night's antics! After the first couple of minutes, you can definitely feel a little tingling sensation on your skin. When I first used this I thought that I must...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

dead Sea Magik Face Mask

Advantages: brightens, moisturises, tones, cleans, good for travel, remedy for late nights
Disadvantages: none

...I love this mask. I use it a lot. At first you have to apply it right otherwise it doesn't peel off easily. You just mix with water and make the mixture into a smooth paste and then apply onto your face. I leave it for 10-15 minutes and then just peel off. I use quite a thick layer so the mask peels off easily and then just wip my face with a towel and fresh water. The mask refreshes my skin and tones as well. I really feel the minerals in the mask working and I always think my skin looks brighter when I use this mask. It cleans and moisturises and I use it about once a week. I find my skin looks smoother and the area around my eyes brighter so it's good for late nights and tired skin from everyday life. I think the mask conditions skin well and gives it a kind of vitamin and mineral natural injection. You can buy in packs...

Review of Dead Sea Magik Magik Face Mask

Tea Tree Oil Face Mask: Terrific!!

Advantages: works wonders!!
Disadvantages: can't think of any!!

...My sister bought me The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil Face Mask for Christmas, and I admit that it was one of the most satisfying beauty products that I recieved this year. The 100ml pot, a squashed cylindrical shape, is peppermint green in colour with a black lid. The instructions for use can be found on the underside of the pot. This clay-based face mask is designed for normal, oily or blemished skin. I have found that it works really well on my face because my skin is not the same all over, meaning that some parts are oily, another has blemishes, and the rest is normal. An improvement in my overall complexion can be seen immediately after I remove the mask. The mask is easy to use (probably very similar to most face masks.) Just smooth onto your face and neck after cleansing (avoiding lip and eye area) and leave it for ten...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

** Lick My Face!! **

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

...I am a nightmare when it comes to picking random things up in shops. You know the small things that tempt you at the tills. Whether it's a quick pack of chewing gum at the till or the extra special gift tag that HAS to go with the wrapping paper. That's why I'm terrible and really should get in the habit of taking a shopping list. On my last trip to Superdrug's, if I recall correctly I went in to get some emergency supplies, cotton buds and body spray! As I tried to find the right aisle I walked past this very tempting display of Superdrug's face masks. Hmmmmm I thought, should I? Shouldn't I? Well to be honest I didn't think for very long and at the tiny price of 89p it wasn't going to break the bank. Not only am I a fan of bargains but a bargain that includes chocolate! Oh gosh someone save me right now from becoming faint! So what...
