Relaxation express
Application: It is a single-use organic cotton mask to be applied directly to clean, dry skin. With its multiple notches, it is designed to adapt to all faces.
Exposure time: Between 20 and 30 minutes.
Impressions: The mask tends to come off slightly if you don’t stay still! Rather pleasant feeling and above all not viscous. Light fragrance that invites relaxation.
Flushing or removing: Simply remove the sheet and rub in the excess with your fingers without rinsing.
Results: Thanks to Kakadu plum, rich in vitamin C, the skin’s radiance is boosted. While CBD and hemp oil provide a feeling of comfort. The only problem is the slightly sticky effect on the skin.
Value for money: Medium, because it is recommended to repeat the operation once or twice a week.

Freshness of life
Application: Application is easy, using a spatula which harmoniously follows the contours of the face.
Exposure time: The instructions recommend fifteen minutes of application, which actually seems the appropriate duration given the chilling – and very pleasant – sensation of the mask.
Impressions: The scent is very discreet, very fresh and combines perfectly with the feeling of cold during application.
Flushing or removing: Rinse using a damp terry cloth, in two stages, to remove residue from the mask with a rich consistency.
Results: A refreshed complexion and a clear complexion, the winning combo of this mask is proven by the two testers.
Value for money: Included in a weekly skincare routine, it is never too expensive to do yourself some good. Especially when the result is visible within hours.

Camellias for a refined complexion
Application: Hazelnut on the fingertip, the texture of the mask seems difficult to spread on the face. Surprise, we apply it with disconcerting ease.
Exposure time: The 5 minutes of application (to be repeated twice a week according to the instructions) is sufficient. The exfoliating effect is felt quickly.
Impressions: The flowery scent is light, the dense texture is embellished with small black exfoliating beads which act pleasantly on the skin with delicate (and effective!) tingles.
Flushing or removing: Simply moisten your face, perform gentle circular massaging movements with your fingers to complete the exfoliating effect of the mask, rinse (removing all the black beads takes a little time), and that’s it. is played.
Results: After a week, the complexion is visibly refined and the skin softens.
Value for money: Considering the small quantity required, the price-quality ratio is quite good.

Oats and probiotic for sensitive skin
Application: This small, creamy, fragrance-free cream is used in the evening in a more or less thick layer.
Exposure time: It is advisable to leave it on all night, I was dreading going to bed with a greasy film on my face, but the skin had absorbed it, even before slipping under the feathers.
Impressions: The absence of smell is a little disturbing but ultimately appreciable, the shea butter makes the product very comfortable, we quickly forget it.
Flushing or removing: Nothing to do, as said above.
Results: Nourishes, soothes and illuminates, the packaging promises, it’s a done deal, with the added benefit of the skin microbiota preserved thanks to the clean composition including probiotics and oat oil, lifesaving on sensitive or reactive skin.
Value for money: Completely correct for a product in this category, 99% natural and made in France.

A gentle peel
Application: The gel-cream formula, a bit too liquid, escapes from the tube when opened. Using your fingertips, it spreads easily over the face, neck and décolleté (avoid the eye area).
Exposure time: 10 minutes flat, no need to let the lactic and fruit acids (AHA) act longer for the exfoliation to be effective.
Impressions: The scent, sweet and orange, is reminiscent of medicine without being unpleasant. Slight tingling may occur, proof that the active ingredients gently remove dead skin.
Flushing or removing: Rinse off the residue with a damp washcloth.
Results: My complexion is immediately even and my skin smoother.
Value for money: Pretty good. This London brand of clean beauty is not cheap, however the mask is effective and we validate its composition of almost 90% natural ingredients.

Quenched skin
Application: Easy, with a brush or fingers. Its creamy texture provides an immediate sensation of hydration.
Exposure time: It is recommended to leave it on for 10 minutes, or even overnight. I wanted to try this option, but the mask was quickly “drunk” by my skin. It was about time!
Impressions: Initially, the product is slightly sticky, but this impression disappears to give way to a feeling of comfort. The fresh and fruity scent brings a very pleasant fresh note.
Flushing or removing: The mask can be rinsed off with water, but for my part, there was no need to remove it since my skin was thirsty.
Results: The skin is immediately sated and soft until the next day. No tightness or tingling felt. The challenge has been met with flying colors. To prolong this thirst-quenching effect, you can do it a second time during the week.
Value for money: Excellent!

A feeling of thermal treatment

Exposure time: Let it sit all night…
Flushing or removing: …and rinse with water early in the morning.
Sensations during installation: Its fresh gel effect comparable to a treatment in a thermal center? It’s simply a big yes.
Results: The skin feels invigorated, dewy and hydrated. We highly recommend this well-being-boosting night water mask during periods of hot and cold winter weather.
Value for money: Considering that it can be used daily and that its size is comparable to that of a night cream, yes, it is good value for money!
