I suffer from dry skin around my eyes and across my cheeks, and eczema occassionally. Because of this i am careful with what i try, but i have tried the Montagne Jeunesse range of face masks before, and felt they are okay for my skin!

First Impressions
The packaging is busy, light weight, and draws your eye to it on the shelf. They usually approximately 99p per sachet, but i got three for £1.50 from Home Bargains Its half in French and half English and give you a good idea of what the product is.Application
I tied my hair back to keep it out the mixture and got stuck in.The product is a lot more runny than any of the other Montagne Jeunesse masks I've tried before, and is literally like melted chocolate. I used half the sachet to cover my whole face, and it smells divine. I did taste it too, but just to warn you, it doesn't actually taste like chocolate, no matter how good it smells.
The packet says its 'Self Heating' which i was wary about, was it going to burn, would it get too hot for me to cope? I found it was warm when applied on with fingers and smoothed over my face, but once i left it alone for a few minutes, the gentle warmth subsided as it dried.
Taking It Off and Results
Although i thought the product would dry on my face, it only dried around the outside near my hairline, and around the t-zone stayed sticky to the touch. This meant it was much easier to take off, with just a flannel and hot water. Once i had removed it all, i moisturized my face as normal with my Waitrose Baby Bottom Cream (a review of that coming up soon) and Garnier 7 Day Body Lotion, and went to bed.The next day, my skin felt soft, and still smelt slightly of chocolate which was nice, but apart from that i don't think it made much difference to my complexion. However, i would buy this, or any of the other masks from this range, simply because they are good value for money, with a wide range of styles, such as self-heating, clay, and peel off, and lots of different smells to suit everyone. They are perfect for a pamper evening with friends, or if you just feel you've been wearing a lot of make-up recently and want something just to relax your skin a bit.
