Trilogy Mineral Radiance Mask. Rated: 4.9/5
They Say: Energise, purify and deeply cleanse with rosehip, kaolin and pohutukawa.
You Say: The result glowing, revived, refreshed looking skin I still cannot believe how good my skin looks and feels after using this. I almost want to use it every day just because my skin looks that good afterwards I will buy this again. Beauty Reviewer: -Bex-
Lush Mask of Magnaminty. Rated: 4.7/5
They Say: China clay and bentonite gel will pull the dirt from your pores, ground aduki beans and evening primrose seeds exfoliate surface skin cells, and peppermint oil will make you feel so fresh and minty.
You Say: My skin always feels firmer and smoother after using this mask, and it definitely does soothe any problem areas - although it's not a miracle cure! I'd say I use this regularly as prevention for breakouts rather than waiting for them to strike, but I still love this and will definitely repurchase. Beauty Reviewer: Geo
L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Charcoal Mask. Rated: 4.6/5
They Say: A unique combination of 3 pure clays with the magnetic properties of Charcoal to detoxify and brighten the skin.
You Say: One of my favourite masks, its available in a lot of places and it has a great price point. I like being able to see the oils and imperfections that have been drawn out once my mask has dried. After removal my skin feels amazing, and looks brighter. Love it! Beauty Reviewer: Astariuss
Trilogy Very Gentle Hydra-Mask. Rated: 4.6/5
They Say: Treat stressed-out skin with a serious hydration boost. This luxurious mask contains maqui berry oil and nourishing sweet almond to protect, hydrate, and calm reactive skin.
You Say: It is certified natural, fragrance free, non GMO, no animal testing, dermatologically tested. I love using it at the end of each week (and in between! Pop it on while in the bath-bliss!) it feels so calming and soothing. Beauty Reviewer: JennyWren
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. Rated: 4.5/5
They Say: Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask have been used for centuries to beautify and refresh when used as a facial mask.
You Say: I use this mask once a week and it really clears my skin out leaving my skin refreshed and bright with visibly decreased pores. It feels really really tight on the skin and you can not talk with this mask on as it will crack and it pretty much feels like a straight jacket for your skin haha. Beauty Reviewer: Katee-xo
Queene Helene Mud Pack Masque. Rated: 4.4/5
They Say: It's not only an effective pore cleanser, but also helps tighten loose, sagging skin on your face and neck and relaxes tired facial muscles to soften lines and wrinkles.
You Say: This is great value for money as the tube is pretty large. The mask consistency is thick and creamy and applies well to the skin. I have very sensitive skin and find this mask works wonders on me. It never stings my skin which is great and leaves my skin feeling so fresh and clean. The mask gives my skin a lovely glow and it does help improve the texture and tone of my skin. This mask promotes anti-aging properties - it did noticeably tighten my skin making my skin feel and look more youthful. Beauty Reviewer: Janaya
Skinfood Mud Masque. Rated: 4.4/5
They Say: Made with nutrient rich Rotorua mud, which is known around the world for its healing and rejuvenating properties. Combined with spirulina, Vitamin E and apricot oil.
You Say: I got this product on a whim ages ago because it was on sale. Firstly, I love the fact that it smells like chocolate orange, even though the main ingredient is mud. Secondly, it works great for my sensitive skin and can be removed easily. I like that you can see it soaking up the oils once it has dried. Beauty Reviewer: TabbyWa
Evolu Rehydration Rescue Masque. Rated: 4.4/5
They Say: This luxurious facial masque will rescue your skin from the visible effects of long-term dryness and nutrient depletion.
You Say: It has made my skin feel so soft and dare I say, youthful. While I have the masque on, I can’t stop touching my skin as it feels amazing. It feels much more hydrated than it usually does, and actually the best it has felt in a long while. I look forward to further continual use to see the results over a longer period.

Oasis Fruit Smoothie. Rated: 4.3/5
They Say: It's a powerful but gentle multipurpose product for glowing skin in no time at all.
You Say: This is one of my favorite masks especially during summer! Although my skin is dry this exfoliating scrub leaves my skin feeling and looking smooth and bright and I love that I'm not putting any harsh chemicals on my face. I definitely recommend this product. Beauty Reviewer: suezy2001
Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Revitalising Mask. Rated: 4.3/5
They Say: An at-home, spa-inspired treatment that awakens and softens skin. The mask works to exfoliate, retexturise and smooth skin.
You Say: I love this mask, it's one of my all time favourites and leaves my skin feeling tight and firm as well as smooth and soft. It's also heaps of fun peeling it off! The following day after I use it my foundation always applies flawlessly, it always looks amazing. I ran out of this just recently and my skin has suffered for it, so definitely time to buy some more. It is definitely worth it's price tag as well! Beauty Reviewer: Salem29
