Favorite Facial Mask? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I was just wanting to know what everyone’s favorite facial mask is and why? My favorite one is by Palmer’s called “Skin Success Even Tone Brightening Facial Mask”. I found it at Wal-Mart and it has Vitamins C & E, plus Licorice Extract. I have oily skin as well as some acne and I have found this to make my face feel SOO clean and never drying, it also helps fade my scars faster. I leave it on for 1 hour about 3 times a week, but lately I have been using it as a hot spot overnight treatment. One day I took a trip and drove 12 hours and got the biggest pimple in the middle of my forehead

, that night I used the mask because my face felt so oily, the only thing is though that I laid my head back and accidentally slept the who night with the mask on my face, and when I woke up all that was left of the pimple was a red mark (the swelling dramatically decreased). I have heard a lot of people say good things about Queen Helen Mint Julep Mask... but I have tried that and by far it has nothing on this one!

I have a lot of problems with facial masks irritating my skin. So I have been using a mask that my hairdresser told me about a few months ago. It is a mashed up banana mask. You add a little honey to it and put it on your face. So far I have had no irritation and I think my skin really likes it. I have also heard of milk of magnesia/pepto bismol (but i haven't tried either of these yet) masks also. Straight from the bottle, apply it to your face and then just wait for it to harden a little.

Those sound very interesting, I have never heard of either one. Thanks for the reply!

I like Queen Helene Mint Julep... but Avon Pore Refining mask is awesome, too. I don't even know if they make this stuff anymore... I found a bottle at my mom's and stole it (don't tell : ) ) because it really does help minimize pores and reduce acne.

Avon's pore refining mask is great... It is what I used to use before I started using Palmer's Skin Brightening Mask. I think Palmer's it is better, but Avon's is great too!
