Filorga
Meso-Mask
Best for: Mature skin
Inspired by mesotherapy - the non-surgical method of firming and rejuvenating skin - this isn’t your average brightening face mask. Featuring the brand’s cutting-edge anti-ageing complex, moisture-grabbing ingredients draw water into the skin, while Niacinamide dials up the glow. Apply a thick layer for 15-30 minutes, not forgetting the delicate skin on your neck - after first use expect a plumped-up complexion with reduced fine lines.
The hype: "Wow, this mask really does what it says. First use and my skin is glowing and feels plumper. I’m so pleased, I think I’m going without makeup today because I don't need it.” - Customer review

Lumene
Nordic Hydra [LAHDE] Oxygen Recovery 72h Hydra Gel Mask
Best for: Dry and dehydrated skin
Granting 72 hours of hydration for thirsty cells, this cooling gel mask is like a tall drink of water. Like all Lumene treatments, it’s loaded with Pure Arctic Spring Water and organic Nordic Birch Sap to leave skin soft and plump in minutes. This one can be used in two ways; as a 10 minute rinse-off mask, or as an intensive overnight treatment, applying a thin layer to skin before bedtime. Whichever way you choose, it’ll leave skin insanely refreshed.
The hype: "My face feels so fresh after using this mask. It has a cooling effect and it does tingle a little, but for me it’s a sign of the mask working. The result is a smooth, moisturised, fresh face." - Customer review

Activated Charcoal Face Mask
Best for: Price
Great for banishing blackheads on a budget, this Charcoal-infused face mask is a detox in a jar. Hero ingredient activated Charcoal is an impurity magnet, drawing out dirt and grime from the skin’s surface and maximising that ultra-cleansed, purified feeling.

After just 20 minutes, your skin’s left feeling refreshed and rebalanced - and all for less than a tenner.
The hype: "The texture is great, it dries quickly and really minimises my pores and makes my skin feel so soft. I'll never buy a different face mask again, especially as this one is amazing value for money!" - Beth, customer review
