Advantages: Smells lovely, softens skin and evens skin tone

Disadvantages: Dirty bath water.

After I left a particularly onerous day at work today (Friday is POETS day so I left at 1500) my skin felt very hot and dry and I had what my nurse calls extraction cheeks for no reason (when I take teeth out I get rosy red cheeks for some reason). It was cold outside but hot inside and I hadn't drunk enough water and my skin felt generally uncomfortable.
As we've just bought a house and are saving literally every penny, I haven't treated myself for ages so I thought I'd nip into town and get something nice and indulgent and spend the afternoon having a bit of Squiddly time.

I went into boots and had a good look round for inspiration, my eyes settled on the Montagne Jeunesse range (the price may have had something to do with it), there was a selection of about six face masks-peel off ones, cloth ones, deep cleansing ones-I wanted a soothing one and the chocolate one was the only soothing one available. I had to check the ingredients as I am allergic to chocolate-as it doesn't contain cocoa solids I was pretty confident that I would be ok. At 97p, I managed to pay for this with my advantage card so that made me a happy bunny.

Anyway, I got home, did my packing (the big move is on Monday) and decided it was bath time.
As I was running the bath, I washed my face, leaving it damp as per the instructions and opened the pack. The smell was very much chocolate pudding rather than chocolate bar (the smell of them gives e a headache bizarrely) so it was quite pleasant although I'm no chocolate fiend. I think if you do eat the stuff you would like this product very much indeed!

It was pleasantly thick and creamy, not too difficult to apply to damp skin and there is plenty in the pack for someone with a massive forehead like mine (apparently it's a sign of intelligence don't you know). So on it went, avoiding the delicate eye area of course and in I went (into the bath).

It started to dry after about five minutes but didn't get really dry so it felt tight-perhaps because I put it on quite thickly and the bath was steamy- and I felt it kind of doing something but it wasn't tingly, I can't really describe the sensation.

After 15min, I decided to wash it off-this took quite some time and made the bath water very dirty. I then patted my skin dry and had a look in the mirror. Well, my extraction cheeks had gone and my skin felt smooth and looked pinkish, almost like the circulation was better and more even, so happy with that, I put some bio oil on.

Then I had a look in the bath, yikes! It was filthy so I gave that a scrub, I would probably put it on and then shower it off in future.

For the price these face masks retail at, they really are brilliant. You can choose from so many varieties and there is something to suit every occasion and skin type.

This one was lovely, it made my skin feel soft and almost dewy. I would recommend it after a stressful week at work.

Summary: Highly recommended for chilling after a hard week
