*** My wife graciously provided the following review ***

If you're like me, you've done facial masks before and didn't bother to read instructions. However, after getting my hair out of my face and applying both mask pieces to my face, I realized that something wasn't quite right because the mask didn't hug my face. If you use a cheap mask, you can expect to not have the mask secured to your face requiring you to lie down face up. Although resting while having a face mask on is not a bad thing, you can't multi-task.

After a few seconds of saying, "This isn't right," I experimented with peeling the clear top layer and quickly discovered that the process is peel, apply, peel, smooth. By the way, if you read the instructions, it will tell you the same exact thing I just wrote. Smoothing the mask onto the face is like paper mch&eacute;. It's easy.

Once the mask is applied correctly, you'll instantly feel a cool tingly feeling. Since the mask is not going to fall off, one could  conceivably do household chores and such, but I recommend lying down and relaxing.

According to the package, the mask could be removed in 10 minutes, but can be kept on longer. Traditionally, mud masks shouldn't be kept on longer than 10 minutes due to the drying effect, but I'm a boundary pusher and wanted to see what my face was like after 30 minutes. After all, the package did say I could leave it on longer than 10 minutes.

Peeling the mask off after 30 minutes was easy peasy and left only a residual amount of "mud" which easily rinsed off. Results: My face felt exceptionally refreshed and not dry which is what you'd expect with a traditional mud mask. Additionally, I had a positive mental outlook to continue my busy day. I'm glad I took that break.

To feel even more pampered after the rinsing, I applied a luxurious spray toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Now I'm ready to face the world.
