Elizabeth Arden At Home Facial Mask

Coming across as a bit like a mask, a self administered facial and one of those bandages they put on burns victims, the Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Firming Facial Mask is a do-it-yourself remedy when you just haven't the time or the inclination to go to a salon and have it all done for you.

The mask is made from cloth and soaked in their renowned ceramide serum and a highly concentrated level of argireline, which plumps up the look of fine lines and wrinkles and helps maintain collagen levels while yeast extract promotes a firmer look. And that's not all - a trio of intensive moisturisers give an immediate hydrating effect, and it's fortified with Ceramide Triple Complex which helps to strengthen the skins moisture barrier.

After cleansing and exfoliating, you place the mask on your face, and relax for 10 minutes. They say that "skin immediately looks firmer, retexturised and more radiant" and that the results are that "skin appears softened, smoothed and refreshed. With continued use, skin will appear brighter and more even toned".

You're recommended to use the mask once a week, and a pack of four sachets will set you back €50. You'll get this from larger pharmacies and department stores.
