Montagne Jeunesse Skin Heroes Break-Out Mask
2This is the third review in my series of Montagne Jeunesse Skin Heroes reviews, and today I’ll be featuring the Break-Out Mask!
Like most of the Skin Heroes range, the Break-Out Mask comes in a sachet containing two different products. Stage 1 is the green tinged ‘Cleansing Mud Mask’ (Left), and Stage 2 is the ‘Rapid Action Moisturiser’ (Right).
What hit me first about this mask when I tore open the sachet was the scent. The Tea Tree and Willowherb smell gorgeously refreshing, almost minty, and are both present due to their calming and soothing properties – exactly what you want from a mask which is meant to reduce break-outs! 
As the instructions suggest, I washed and cleansed my face before applying the mask. Once again, I found the sachet contained too much mask for one application… I must have a freakishly tiny face! Either that or Montagne Jeunesse are very generous. The mask felt nice and creamy and smoothed on so easily, although I did get a bit messy with blobs of mask in my hair and all over my hands! I left the mask on for 15 minutes, and took the opportunity to pose for some photos with one of my cats, Moth.
She doesn’t look amused does she? haha. She approves of Montagne Jeunesse products really though, as they’re all vegetarian and animal friendly! Approved by the Vegetarian Society, BUAV and PETA
The mask had a cooling effect on my skin and felt slightly tingly, but not uncomfortably so. After 10 minutes, as it dried, it got quite stiff and started to crack. I was worried it would be difficult to get off because of that, but as soon as I wet it it went creamy again. Having said that, it did take a while to get off, but after some persistence with a wet flannel my face was left squeaky clean.
I was very pleased with the results after using this mask. I’ve experienced redness, soreness and tightness after using other mud masks in the past, but other than a fresh, tingly feeling, my face looked and felt fine. The Rapid Action Moisturiser was a lovely consistency too and settled the tingling down, leaving me with baby soft skin.
This is my favourite Skin Heroes product so far and I would definitely use it again. If you’d like to try this mask, or any other Montagne Jeunesse skin care products, you can buy them on their website or in ASDA, for just £1.49 (RRP) per sachet. Trust me – they’re well worth it for a little pampering session!

Montagne Jeunesse Skin Heroes De-Clog Nose Strips
3Hi everyone
It’s a bit overdue but my second Montagne Jeunesse review is about their De-Clog Nose Strips, which are part of the new Skin Heroes range of skin care products.
Each sachet contains three individually wrapped nose strips which ‘contain natural citrus to draw out deep-rooted impurities for cleaner, less visible pores on and around the nose’, the natural citrus in question being ‘Pressed Orange Blossom’. The sachet suggests that you use one strip no more than three times a week, so for £1.49 you get a weeks worth of strips which isn’t bad.
The instructions for use are very simple and easy to follow. Basically, all you need to do is wet your nose (before you apply your make up or after you remove it, I’d say) and apply the smooth side of the strip to your nose. Then, after 10-15 minutes, peel off the strip and you’re done! The strip can get a bit stiff as it dries so I’d suggest wetting it before you peel it off so it doesn’t tug, and definitely don’t pull it hard or it’ll hurt!
I’ve used two of the three strips so far and I’ll be using the third over the weekend. The first strip I used I left on for too long which was a big mistake as it started to feel really uncomfortable and when I took it off my nose was really itchy and sore. I was a bit dubious about the strips after that but the second one I used gave much better results! I left it on for just 10 minutes so it didn’t have a chance to completely dry out. It peeled off easily and took quite a lot of dirt with it, which is brilliant because it shows they do exactly what they say on the tin! I think the lesson is take notice of the packet – the product works if you follow the instructions properly
I like these nose strips. I’ve used nose strips in the past which have made no difference whatsoever but these are already showing results – my pores are noticeably smaller already. Also, Montagne Jeunesse products are all vegetarian friendly and not tested on animals which makes me a very happy bunny indeed.
If you fancy picking some of these up, you can get them from ASDA or Montagne Jeunesse’s website! Will you be trying them?
