It's easy to pop into your local retailers and pick up a ready made preparation promising all manner of marvellous things for you and your skin.
And heck, we aren't about to do any of them down...we use enough ourselves.
But sometimes it's nice to do things a little more organically – and pouring, mixing and stirring your own treatment is surprisingly fun and fulfilling.
We found out as much when we tried MIMI Green Goddess Fresh Face Mask skincare kit for ourselves.
Prettily packaged, yet with the minimum of fuss, the mind boggles when you uncover mini pots of Green Goddess Powder, Oat Protein and Green Jasmine Pearls. Just how will these tiny tubs transform into a facial feast?
But there is no need to get in a messy pickle, with super simple instructions included you'll be all masked up in no time. In a couple of minutes we were all sorted with a fabulously fresh mix waiting to be applied.
Taking care around the eyes and the mouth, apply the green paste and leave for 10 minutes or so.
You don't want it to dry out, so when it starts to, reach in for the rinse.
Everything in the Mimi kit is 100% natural and gentle enough to cater for all skin types.
Perfect to cleanse, nourish and protect, the detoxifying mask gives skin a welcome boost and we really noticed the post-mask smoothness.
And that's not the end of the story - each set contains enough ingredients for four treatments, so you can enjoy more 'me time.'
Face up to MIMI Green Goddess...you'll be glad you did.
