Gentle Face Mask

I think I've got the cleanser sorted:

But I think I need to use a mask once a week. The current jobby is Mudd Mask but this is too harsh really.

Any suggestions for gentle face masks which won't leave me with a greasy forehead and ultra tight skin on the rest of my face?

The Lush and Body Shop one are lovely, if not a little expensive - maybe a Montague Jessunue (sp) one? I think they do some sensitive ones. Hth!

^^ As above! I was just going to recommend the Lush masks as well

I would recommend the oat based mask as its very gentle and softening. For a more "harsh" mask some of the clay based ones work well, lovers lettuce is also a good one and brightens but is not as moisturising (and doesn't taste as good ).

Dermalogica do a great ex-foliating mask which doesn't work by scratching off your dead skin... you just leave it on for 10 mins and its not harsh
'Gentle Cream Exfoliant'

Body shops vitamin e sink in moisture mask is lovely.It is almost jelly like in texture and only a tiny amount is needed .I even leave it on overnight and have a lovely cleansed soft skin in the morning-it is very gentle and has a lovely scent aswell.A brilliant treat for the face.
I'm quite pleased with the honey&oat scrub mask aswell for a deep cleanse although the scent is a little sickly.

Natural yoghurt mixed with honey is a lovely, simple & gentle home-made face mask.

Use 1 tbsp of yoghurt + 1 tsp of runny honey, leave on for about 15 mins.

I'm a big fan of Weleda.

They do gentle face-masks that are not too pricey.(You have to buy in a tube,you can't buy single use face-masks).Their products are organic and not tested on animals.

HTH.

You don't say what skin type you have - that would help!

If you have oily skin, Clinique, Kiehl's and Dr Brandt can really help banish the blighters.
For oily or other types of skin, I'd second the Lush recommendation, as well as the brand mentioned above which is actually spelt Montagne Jeunesse.

It says in the link in the first post.

It's sensitive but with an oily T-zone.
