I'm a firm believer in beauty psychology, ie, if a product looks the business then it probably is. And this tube of face mask certainly does. Entitled 'emergency mask', it gives the impression that you will have perfectly polished skin within the time needed for the product to work - 5 minutes. However, if you have a big date planned, I wouldn't recommend using this as it works by drawing out all the impurities in your skin and thus causing impending spots. However, I feel that this product is better suited to a weekly regime of cleansing. It will tingle slightly when you first apply it, but don't panic. This is just the active ingredients getting to work.

Once applied, the mask dries semi-hard so put on some relaxing music and chill because it you move your face muscles, it will end up stretching your skin uneccessarily. And let this baby do its work. Rinsing off is a bit of a pain because the mask has already started to dry, so a quick splash with water just won't shift it. Instead, try soaking a flannel and taking it off with that because you'll also be giving yourself a mini-facial at the same time. Then all you have to do is admire the results. Your skin will feel truly clean for the first time in ages, I guarantee. I found this product to be of extremely high quality and probably one of the best cleansing masks I've ever used. However, I would be very careful with it if you have sensitive skin as the mask is quite potent and could irritate it. Overall, a great luxury skincare product.
