Advantages: not a miracle cure...

Disadvantages: ..but makes skin feel well cleansed

My skin has it's good days and bad days, in my twenties, I still don't seem to have gotten rid of that horrible teenage combination skin, where it's greasy ans spotty in places and horribly dry in others, meaning it's hard to find products to solve all your problems. On bad skin days, I like to indulge in a face mask. I've not yet found one to solve all my skin problems, but a good one will make my skin feel fresh and thoroughly cleaned, much more so than you can achieve with just washing or cleansing.

The latest one I've tried is Boots Natural Collection Rosemary and Witch Hazel, I don't know if it's new but I'd not spotted it before, maybe because it's not kept with the skin care items in store but with the Natural Collection bath products.

At 99p for a 10ml sachet, I felt it was good value. There is more than enough in a sachet for one application. It's best to use this mask when in the bath as it gets a bit messy otherwise. Either rip it open before hand or have a pair of scissors to hand as the packet is near impossible to open with wet prune like fingers!

The mask a a very thick consistency, white in colour with a very faint clean but slightly medicinal smell, presumably from the Witch Hazel. It's lovely and cooling as you smooth it onto the skin and only needs to be on for five minutes. It doesn't set hard like some masks, which means it's easily washed off.

On the back of the packet, it claims to be a 'spa in a sachet,' that it is purifying, and deep cleaning , that it will draw out impurities and excess oil and leave skin refreshed. So did it?

Well, yes. My skin felt soft, well cleaned and non greasy which is what I want from a face mask, however my skin felt rather tight after wards so I applied a small amount of light moisturiser to loosen it up a little.

Overall, I think this is a good value mask. It may not have made my skin flawless (but I've yet to find a product to do that) but it did perform as well as any other mask I've used and I'd definitely buy it again. Plus as it's Boots, I can buy them with my advantage points!

Summary: A good mask from Boots
