Monday Mask: Montagne Jeunesse Break Out Mask

Monday 30 April 2012

I recently received a couple masks from Montagne Jeunesse's new Skin Heroes range to try and this week I got down to trying the Break Out Mask as my skins been a tad "off" of late.

In all honesty I barely use face masks these days, my usual routine just literally consists of a St Ives/Clinique scrub, face wash, toner and moisturiser.. If I get a spot I use a bit of Origins Spot Remover and that's it.

However, I thought I'd give these masks a try as it's been a while and I remember trying Montagne Jeunesse in secondary school (peel off mask).

The Skin Heroes masks range come in two steps mostly - mask and moisturiser.
Break Out Mask
Ingredients: The main ingredients in this mask are Witch Hazel (spot-fighting/calming) Tea-Tree (calming), Canadian Willowherb (soothing)
Colour: Pastel Green
Texture: Slightly thick clay.. hardens slightly when dry so you can't move your facial muscles! When washing off, I felt a warmth on my face when using warm water; not sure if that's good or bad but I finished off with cold water anyway.
Ease: I still prefer peel off masks for ease!
Scent: Very fresh, clay and minty.
Price: For £1.50 it certainly won't break the bank and is worth a try if you're unsure of which of these masks to pick!

Break Out Moisturiser
Ingredients: Again, Tea-Tree & Canadian Willowherb
Colour: White
Texture: Didn't absorb very easily into the skin.. using a little goes a long way cos of this.
Scent: Fresh, minty 
FrootiFactor: 
Overall I'd give this mask a 1.5 out of 5. It certainly felt fresh on my skin but I found slight red patches on my dry areas (cheeks), despite this mask being for combination and oily skin. The moisturiser did help calm the redness down a bit but wasn't very easily absorbed.

I look forward to trying the peel off mask, so stay tuned for that!

Have you tried Montagne Jeunesse masks? Which is your favourite?
