I have to admit that I usually stay far from such brands, more because of the price. But recently raided my mother-in-laws cupboards to find an entire untouched Clarins collection. The first product I gave a try, was this mask. I decided to have a pamper day and started with this. I have to admit, when it comes to first impressions - it is great. It smelt really good, the thickness was lovely - it felt luxurious and like a real spoil. I left it on for the recommended 5 minutes (probably a little longer) and then wiped it off before exfoliating with another Clarins product (Review to come soon). My skin had really shown an improvement and didn't need moisturizer as the mask seemed to have sorted out my dryness issue that comes along with winter skin.
