Green faced monster

Hi everyone!

I'm back at work again after a few days in my beloved Newcastle. Whilst most other 21 year olds are out getting drunk I'm sitting in with a romantic Chinese takeaway for one and a face masque, so of course I thought I'd share a few unflattering photos of the face masque experience with you!

Looking like an alien...

...with spots

The Verdict: The masque was quite a light green colour and looked mostly like a traditional masque! It was quite thick and easy to put on, although I avoided my eye area. 

My friend who's studying beauty therapy told me to exfoliate before the masque or it wouldn't work, which I'd never heard before, and seems to be a useful tip.

The instructions said to leave it for 10-15 mins, and during that time it started to harden in different places giving me a rather fetching alien-with-spots look. 

I rinsed the masque off with water, which turned out to be quite difficult as it was so thick so I had to use a wipe as well. I rinsed it off about ten minutes ago and my skin feels clean but not as 'soft and supple' as the packet says. 

Overall, the mask was really cheap so I didn't expect miracles, but I did expect it to deliver on softening my skin, although it did leave it feeling clean, fresh and smooth.
