Discover the new face mask collection by Caudalie

I must admit I love face masks, to me they are a moment of me time, I love the idea of doing my skin some good while relaxing with a cup of tea or lying in the bath. It is like a spa treatment but done in the comfort of my home and whenever I feel like it. I also think they are great to give skin a boost whenever a pick me up it is needed so when the new Caudalie face masks landed on my door I was over the moon and of course couldn't wait to try them.

"This my latest creation, a collection of 4 masks inspired by my Vinotherapie Spa treatments that offers busy women perfect skin in record time.

They combine the power of active ingredients extracted from the vine with highly indulgent textures so that time out for a face masks becomes a glamourous and relaxing ritual, both for the skin and the mind".
