I was recently sent a couple of Montagne Jeunesse's new face masks to try out, one of which was their Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque with Laver Seaweed and Sea Buckthorn. I have to admit I was pretty keen to try this one out almost entirely because it's black; it definitely appealed to my inner goth!! This interest was compounded by the peel-off nature of the mask, as peel-offs are definitely my favourite kind of face mask; everyone knows they're the most satisfying! Montagne Jeunesse say, "
Our chopped black Laver Seaweed (from the Welsh seaside) and crushed Sea Buckthorn berries are pressed together to make our black peel off mask. A seaside detox to cleanse deeply and peel off dirt and grease weekly. Ultra deep cleansing straight from the sea."

I followed the instructions on the sachet, cleansing my face before applying in an even layer, avoiding my eye areas. The mask is quite a thick, black gel-like liquid which kind of made me feel like I was rubbing tar onto my face; nonetheless, it spread quite easily and didn't sting at all as I applied it. As it dried, I could feel the mask growing tighter around my nose and mouth, which is always the sign of a good peel-off in my book! The mask did seem to 'run' slightly on my face, hence the drips you can see below. After about twenty minutes I began peeling off from these areas first, followed by the rest of the mask. As it lifted away from my skin, I could see it pulling gunk from my pores, and all the dead skin cells were visible on the "inside" of the mask - gross but satisfying to know it's doing its job so well! The mask peeled off really easily with the exception of a patch on either cheek where the dripping had made it slightly too thick, but another ten minutes drying time saw that peel off, too. I followed this up with a shower as I invariably get bits of peel-off stuck in my hair and eyebrows... Once I was done, my skin was left looking much brighter and feeling smoother and softer than previously; I also had noticeably fewer blocked pores, particularly on and around my nose. These results have lasted a good few days which makes this mask a winner for me!

Montagne Jeunesse's Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque is available
directly from the Montagne Jeunesse website, priced at just £1 for a 10ml sachet, which I think makes it really good value and definitely puts it in the 'affordable weekly treat' category! I'd recommend this for those who need a good pore clear-out or are after a little bit of brightening; I'll definitely be repurchasing. Have you tried a black peel-off mask? How often do you use face masks? What's your favourite Montagne Jeunesse Mask?

I love the blackness, not often you see one that colour! I have loads of masks but don't get round to suing them as oftenas I should!
ReplyDeleteI love MJ masks and have tried many of them but not this one. Black is an unique colour for a face mask, isn't it?
