I believe that using a mask is an important part of any skin routine but I am usually a fan of clay and other masks that detox the skin as I am prone to breakouts so I was surprises when my beauty therapist recommended the Dermalogica multi vitamin power mask to me as I had thought it would be too heavy and rich for my skin.

It comes in a thin metal tube and inside is a thick gloopy cream that is a light orange colour. It contains an impressive list of natural botanical concentates that promise to help leave skin in tip top condition including vitamins A, C, E, Fand B5. There are also a host of other vitamins and minerals present.
The effects it promises to give you is extensive and it will help to calm and soothe skin as well as helping it to regenerate itself and even help it to decrease sensitivity.

You need to apply a layer of the mask to clean skin avoiding the eye area and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes before then rinsing it off.
As soon as I apply the mask I notice a slight stinging sensation but this literally only lasts a few seconds. Because it is so thick and greasy feeling when on the skin I notice that it makes me want to scratch the mask off but I persevere and wait the alloted time before I rinse it off.

Washing the mask off takes a couple of goes in the sink as it is so thick but when I dry my face I immediately notice just how soft and supple my skin is. There is no hint of redness or other sensitivity and my skin is left ultra calm feeling.
I was really worried that the mask would be to rich for me and cause breakouts but I neede't have worried as if anything the mask actually helps clear my skin up. My skin is left feeling so soft but there isn't a hint of greasiness when I have washed the mask off.

I paid £28 for the mask which really is an excessive amount but I do have to say that I find the mask fabulous. I don't mind paying a lot for good quality products but I expect them to last and this is where I have the problem with this mask. Even though you only need to use it once a week because you need quite a lot of it the tube doesn't last long enough for my liking and I had to buy a new one even when the rest of my Dermalogica products were still more than half full. For this reason it gets a star off but other than this I really can't fault it.
