TIN MAN MASKEstee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask, £15 for one, £56 for four, nationwide
Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair serum has thousands of devotees claiming it leaves them glowing the next morning.
This foil sheet mask is designed to improve the penetration of the serum in which it has been soaked, so you can look as though you’ve had seven hours of sleep after only ten minutes.
Apparently, the foil stops the product evaporating. There’s loads of hyaluronic acid, too, a chemical that draws water to the skin and plumps it up, as well as various soothing ingredients.
VERDICT: Apart from the comedy value of looking like the Tin Man from The Wizard Of Oz, this mask calms redness and leaves skin plumped. Use just before bed and leave the residue on overnight.
BUBBLE BATH MASK
Origins By All Greens foaming deep-cleansing mask, £32, origins.co.uk
Origins is Britain’s number one mask brand, so it’s not surprising it has one of the newest formulations.
This foaming mask contains clay and a host of super greens including spirulina, spinach and green tea, which seems a bit like jumping on the green bandwagon as there’s no real evidence they do a lot if used on your skin.
You apply the product to the face, where it transforms into a cooling foam that gently cleanses the skin.
VERDICT: The foam was a bit disappointing. I’d expected cascades of the stuff rather than gently tingling micro-bubbles that slowly formed on the surface.
It left my skin feeling soft, but I think it probably has more value as a three-times-a-week deep cleanser rather than as a weekly, special occasion treatment.
SPLASH MASK
Blithe Patting Water Pack – Soothing & Healing Green Tea, £43, cultbeauty.co.uk
Imported from South Korea, the origin of a lot of the latest mask trends, splash masks are being touted as the quickest and most effective way to give your skin a boost – and a way to get the benefits of a face mask in just 30 seconds.
This mask is a liquid that contains lactic acid, a mild exfoliant and fruit and herb extracts.
You can use it in the shower, pouring a capful into your hand and patting on to your face before rinsing off. Or simply mix in a bowl with water and splash on to your face, pressing your hands against the skin so it gets the benefit of the ingredients.
VERDICT: The contents of this mask are really good – and would undoubtedly have a positive effect on oily or spot-prone skin. But splashing them on and rinsing in the shower felt like an ineffectual way of applying them.
RUBBER TYRE MASK
JorgObe The Original Black Peel-Off Mask, £22, selfridges.com
Peel-off masks are big business in Korea and are about to become huge here – not the ones that peel off in little sections, but thick rubber tyre-style ones that come off in one piece. They start as a powder, which you mix with water before applying.
This pre-mixed version is designed to deep clean oily skin. It combines black clay, charcoal and witch hazel in a gooey gel that you apply to the T-zone, where it sticks to the stuff clogging pores and dead skin cells.
VERDICT: It can take longer than promised to dry fully, but it’s worth waiting because when you peel it all off in one go, it’s very satisfying. It won’t extract every blackhead, but does leave skin looking clearer. Weekly use gives even better results.
