I have been a fan of Queen Helene products for years, and one product
that you can always find in my closet is the Queen Helene Mint Julep
Masque. I am sure those of you who have never used it have actually seen
it. Perhaps you have seen it on people's faces, you know that green
clay mask that you may have seen women on TV shows or movies wearing?
Yeah, that one. The green zombie clay masque.
I love the green zombie masque.
Packaging:
The Mint Julep masque comes in a standard stand up squeeze tube, in
green and white. The tube will read Queen Helene, followed up with the
product name, Mint Julep Masque. It had a moss green click up cap.
Use:
According to the Queen herself, the Mint Masque is used on the face to
tighten sagging skin on the face and throat. It is also meant to soften
wrinkles, and it stimulates blood circulation.
The masque is to be spread across your entire face evenly. You can use
a thin amount or a thick amount. I recommend using a thick amount of
the product in problem areas, and a thinner amount in other areas.
Problem areas would include the forehead, nose, and chin.
My Use:
I spread a decent amount of the green mint scented clay onto my face
and let it dry. Drying time usually takes up to a half an hour to 45
minutes. While it is drying on my face I can feel it tightening my skin
to the point where it almost hurts. The whole experience even though it
is tightening, it is also extremely refreshing.
After rinsing the masque off with warm water my face is left feeling
brand new. It feels fresh, soft and extremely clean. After washing off
your face will experience some drying, which is awesome when it comes to
removing acne. After using Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque, I
recommend applying facial moisturizer.
I only use the masque about once every 2 weeks, using it more will
could cause very dry skin, that could result in peeling. However for
those with very bad acne, it can be used more, and will actually be
better for your face...don't forget the moisturizer though!
Results:
Using the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque keeps my oily skin at bay. In
summer months I tend to use it more, only because my skin is more oily.
Keeping oils at bay, keep the pimples away, and this is exactly what
the Mint Julep Masque does.
Recommendation:
Although I do not have any wrinkles or sagging skin, it is my belief
that this stuff will keep your wrinkle free face; wrinkle free. For
those with wrinkles, I cannot comment on how well it will work for your
wrinkles. It will tighten the skin, but the tightening sensation goes
away within a few short hours.
I mainly recommend the Mint Julep mask for those with oily or acne
prone skin. I also use the masque on top of pimples, and in the morning
the nasty thing is so dried out that all that is left is some skin to
peel away. Pimple...gone!
I do not recommend that those with dry flaky skin use this product. It
does dry out your face, and if you already have dry skin this product
could be a nightmare for you. Those with sensitive skin should use this
very sparingly, as it could actually be somewhat painful for you.
Availability:
You can find Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque at any drug store or super
store. The price will vary anywhere from $4.00-$5.00 depending on what
size tube you purchase.
