Whenever my skin begins to feel a little dry or tight I reach for this Clarins mask. The effects are immediate, and I'm one of those who feels better when she looks better. The fragrance is oh, so subtle, and the mask is easy to use - just apply a fine layer to clean skin (don't forget the all important eye area), and very gently massage. The massage aids absorption. I leave it on for anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes, and then remove any excess with a toning lotion. Voila! My skin feels soft and supple. By-by dry lines!
