Garnier Deep Cleansing & Purifying Range – Self Heating Sauna Mask - £xxx for 2 sachets

I really wouldn’t recommend sachets of any face mask but these were particularly difficult to open and, as a result, rather messy! I used this twice in one week and didn’t notice any beneficial effects to my skin.

The Sanctuary Spa Warming Charcoal Detox Mask - £99p per 10ml sachet

Again the sachet proved difficult – easier to open but still messy to get out. However I did feel a difference to my skin and it certainly drew out some impurities as I ended up with two huge spots on my chin!

Botanics Vital Recovery Mask - £3.99 for 50ml

Easier packaging at last – plastic tube with cap top which was very easy to dispense. The smell was pleasant and not too overpowering, and it left my skin feeling soft and healthy.

Virgin Vie Stay Calm Moisture Treat Mask - £11.00 for 75ml

This product is specifically for those with sensitive skin – that’ll be me then – so there’s no real perfume smell. The mixture of Swiss spring water and camomile and the desired effect, soothing and rehydrating my skin.  Afterwards my skin felt smoother and less irritable than usual.

Biore Self-Heating Mask - £7.99 for 8 single use masks

Boxed in modern packaging with individual silver sachets inside, the design of which makes them surprisingly easy to open and dispense. Fantastic warming sensation as you apply the product in circular motion across your face. Only takes a few minutes for it to have the desired effect and turn blue, and once it’s all rinsed off your face will be glowing, smooth and positively radiant!
