Hydrating Facial - in a packet!

But to paraphrase a certain advert, this is no ordinary packet, this is a Creme de la Mer packet! For all you Creme fans, this is a wee heads up for a real treat, coming to counters next month for a limited period.

The Hydrating Facial is a box of six face masks, designed to deliver superior hydration to your skin. The masks are cotton, and in two parts – one for the top zone of the face, and one for the bottom.

They address all the main skin concerns – moisturisation, fine, dry lines, clarity and anti-irritation, and they are pretty lovely to use. You simply pop the two parts onto your face and lie back and relax.

Creme suggests you leave it on for eight minutes, but I had it on for half an hour in the bath and it did no harm at all! When you remove them, pat the remaining treatment on the mask over your face and neck. You can use them in the morning or evening, but I think evening is best, don’t you?

Now for the price. These masks come in at £180 for a box of six. So that’s £30 a mask. It’s not a cheap option, but if you feel like treating your skin, or you’re a big Creme fan, then these are a musthave addition to your regime.
