"We wear the mask..." ~Paul Laurence Dunbar

Nope, you're not seeing a ghost...and no, I'm not toying with the idea to become a mime! This is me trying out this facial mask that I picked up at my local CVS. The brand is Montagne Jennesse and they come in an assortment of "flavors". I found these on Amazon.com as well, but at a higher price. In the store one packet cost me only $1.99. While shopping, these little guys caught my eye and after looking at the ingredients--I decided to give it a try. This particular one is Aloe Vera & Willow, but it's base is clay, including illite (Mediterranean clay), bentonite and kaolin clays. Other things that stood out to me were green tea leaf extract, Dead Sea salt and ginseng root extract, among other natural ingredients.
Let me just say, I'm glad that I took pictures of the clay mask when I did (it was still wet), because once that baby dried--I couldn't move my face at all!! haha I felt a slight tingling sensation as well. After about 15 minutes, I rinsed it off and I have to say my face felt so FRESH and TIGHT. I'm assuming that may mean that it shrunk my pores a bit which is always a good thing. Now I can't wait to try some of the others flavors! My skin feels amazing!
This is definitely Nik-Approved! Go check out your local drugstores and see if they carry these. At $1.99, what's to lose?
