My skin has really been playing up lately; in fact I have joked that I teach teenagers with better skin than myself. I have realised that over the past few weeks, I haven't been as vigilant with my water consumption or with my intake of fresh fruit and veg. I quickly began to remedy that side of things, but felt I needed something extra.
I purchased this charcoal face mask from Origins after it was recommended to me and couldn't wait to use it when it arrived. I thought I'd make a real treat of it; soft music, vanilla candle burning, 'do not disturb' sign on the door(ok, I didn't go that far, but you get the picture!). It takes about 10 minutes for the mask to set, but I'm sure I was there for a 'little' longer (according to my SO, I was very much asleep). I was really pleased with the results; my skin felt really soft and my pores open.
I have decided to make it a weekly treat; Mel's home spa!

:) I love that mask - I feel like the tingles mean it's working.
If I come to England, I want to come to Mel's Home Spa.
Wow - what a groovy idea. I'll have to borrow that one.
just looking at your pic made me feel more relaxed.
Now that's what I call relaxing. I will have to steal that scene from you and do myself the honors this eve.
Ahhh.. How relaxing. Many people have told me that mask is amazing..
Something else to add to my Wish List..
You look so relaxed.
I'd love to try something like that. Must explore. I do a weekly honey mask facial. It's nice to pamper oneself, isn't it?
I know the feeling, last week end I had me a body scrub and a massage and did I feel wonderful. I have a facial once a month,u see when u get to my age u realize that taking care of yourself from early pays off.(oh I am stillwaters mum) I read your blog all the time.I also visit your neck of the woods sometimes(the uk)I have a few sibblings there.

Brunsli, hanks so much for the recommendation - it's great! When you come to England, you must visit Mel's spa!
Ladies, I really urge you to give this a try; very often we don't set aside any time for ourselves. What a differenc 10 minutes can make to a hectic lifestyle.
