I tried this mask at an Annique pamper party and bought this with the Annique Vitamin E oil capsules. The mask leaves a cool sensation on your skin as you leave it on to dry and harden for 10-15 minutes. You then remove the product with a wet cloth. After I used it the first time, I could see that my skin looked really clean and dewy and that was why I decided to purchase it. You can use this mask before or after you apply the Vitamin E oil capsules depending on your own preferences. The first time I used it I had a very drops of Vitamin E oil on my face before I applied the mask, the second time I only used the mask. I found that when you don’t apply the Vitamin E oil, the mask can be quite drying on the skin. My skin is normal to dry and it was approaching winter, so that could be the reason. But I do prefer applying the Vitamin E oil before applying the mask because my skin looks and feels better right after I do the treatment. I have pigmentation on my checks and I’ve noticed that they are much lighter since I’ve been trying some new products. I’m not sure if it is this product since I’ve used a combination of products, but I have noticed that my pigmentation has lightened.
