Amy: Totally Juicy Grapefruit Peel-Off Mask
Farmers, 150ml, $10ish

“Amazingly lifts out dirt and impurities to purify pores.”

I had fun with this one – it was cooling and sensual to apply and weird pulling it off. It’s a clear gel that tightens as it dries so you peel it off like sunburned skin. It’s a bit stingy to peel off but it made my skin super-soft feeling – no dry bits. PP/PPP

Jo: Ultra Organics Ginger’n Coriander
Farmers, 30ml, $2.50

“Moisturise and revitalize damaged dry pores effectively with this high quality rise off face mask and re-capture your skins [sic] natural sparkle!”

This was tingly when I first put it on, and continued to be a feelable presence, with a little tightening as it dried. It washed off pretty easily in warm water, leaving my face feeling smooth, but for all it moisturisy nourishy claims, I really do feel like I need a separate moisturiser now.

I’d use it again, since I own it now, but I’m glad it’s a small tube, because I don’t intend to marry it or anything. Perhaps I should have gone for the peel-off instead. No P/PPP
