Tried and tested
There were flecks of gold everywhere as I prepared the mask, by mixing the gold powder and thick gel.
Having first cleansed my skin and applied a generous amount of the Rejuvenating Revitalising Cream (to help the mask peel off easily), using the spatula as instructed, I applied a thick layer of the mask mix over the whole of my face — even eyebrows, lips and eyes get covered; I felt like Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger!
As I relaxed for 20 minutes, I could feel the mask going hard and rubbery to the touch. Then, once dry, I peeled it off from the neck in one single piece.
The results were amazing. My skin was clear, the bags and shadows under my eyes were reduced, and my face, cheeks and neck felt firm and hydrated.
In fact, friends even commented on how glowing I looked when I went out that evening. Diamonds may be some girls’ best friends, but I am definitely a (24-carat) golden girl.

This treat had me dreaming every time I walked upstairs as the scent of jasmine wafted down from the bathroom cabinet. And so it was about 1pm of a Tuesday that the scent finally possessed and I ran a bath.
There is nothing like the decadence of a snatched early afternoon soak and within minutes I drifted off in pinkish waters.
