I like to treat my skin to a face mask every now and then as a little pick me up, but don't always have the time. When I spotted Boots cucumber 3-minute mask, I decided it would be worth a go, because even I manage to find the odd 3 minutes now and again! ~Packaging~ The mask comes in a tube, which I like as it means you can use it several times, unlike masks that come in a sachet and can only be used once. I would estimate you get about six uses out of one tube. The tube is green in colour with a flip top lid, and is very basic looking. ~Using it~ Before using the mask, you must make sure your skin is thoroughly cleansed, so I ...  Read the complete review

It can be a bit of a minefield finding the right facemask, as there are many different types of face masks on the market to choose from, for all different skin types. Some are the peel-off types, and some are the wash off types. Some come in a one time use packet, and some are available in a bottle designed for multi use. The particular face mask I will be reviewing today is Boot's own brand 3 minute clay mask, in the Cucumber variety (it is also available in plain). A 50ml bottle of this set me back £1.99, which is pretty reasonable, given it is highly rated and also is much more cost effective than a one time use packet. The tube is pale green, ...  Read the complete review

I take very good care of my skin and have done since I was a very young woman as I think it is important for later life and to make it nice and clean at the same time as the pores in the skin can become clogged with dirt and it is surprising when you use facial cleansing products and the usual cleansing routines how much dirt really is deep down in the skin and I do my routine twice a day, every day to keep it in tip top condition. I use this mask on a regular basis along with my other products and I find this one has very good results for my skin and it is very quick to use and takes no time at all. It comes in a plastic tube with a flip lid and ...  Read the complete review

Okay, so, another beauty spree. It's my weakness! I bought this in Boots with my Amie face wash and Simple wipes, and I've done a review on the Amie wash because I use that daily and I've used this three times. I think the 3for2 is over now, but I've not checked. Boots do all these offers all the time anyway. This is in the skincare section and it's quite easy to spot as it's in an area where the whole Boots Essentials ( Cucumber ) range is - all green! It's only £1.99 - a bargain in my mind! So, what does it look like? This comes in a clear 50ml flip-lid tube, showing the contents. On the front there is the Boots Essentials sign, that it's for all ...  Read the complete review

I received a tube of this face mask for Christmas and have been trialling it since. I already use the Boots Cucumber cleanser, toner and combination cleanser/toner, so I'm quite familiar with the range and like trying new products (to me) out. ***The face mask*** As seems common with the Cucumber range, the face mask is green. In this case, it's a fairly light minty shade of green that can be easily seen though the transparent tube. Just to make it perfectly clear, I'm reviewing the '3 Minute Clay Mask'. I like to use face masks but I tend to dislike the way that a lot of them takes ages to dry and can feel quite uncomfortable as they do dry, so the fact ...  Read the complete review
