Picture the scene: my fiancé is brushing his teeth in the bathroom, minding his own business. When he bends over to spit the toothpaste into the sink and stands up straight, he sees the reflection of a white masked face standing behind him holding a rolling pin. Understandably, he jumps out of his skin and yells at me whilst showering me in toothpaste, saying he thought that Michael Myers had come to bash his head in (how was I to know he watched Halloween the night before?)

So, why did I have a white mask? Well, I was testing out the PMD Recovery Collagen Infusing Facial Mask. Why the rolling pin? Well, who doesn’t like homemade cookies after a pampering session? Why was I in the bathroom? Ok, you caught me, I’m just a git and wanted to scare the bejesus out of him.

So, enough about our dysfunctional home life; the Recovery is specially formulated for PMD’s Personal Microderm as a smart weekly after-treatment mask, and claims to soothe and plump your skin. This mask creates a protective barrier that allows vital hydration to instantly calm your skin, smooth lines and lock in moisture. The Hyaluronic Acid attracts and holds moisture in the skin by penetrating deep into it, boosting elasticity and locking in essential moisture. The acetyl tetrapeptide helps to relieve sensitive skin by decreasing inflammation and reducing sensitivity, whilst the collagen helps to keep your skin looking younger and giving it firmness and elasticity. The last important ingredient is olive oil – this is loaded with antioxidants that reduce free-radical damage, premature aging and wrinkles, and is quickly absorbed deeply into the skin to boost hydration.

Like many face products, it is difficult to accurately tell if the long-term effects and youthful retaining properties of this face mask are truly effective, but what I could tell was that my skin was left feeling refreshed, smooth and soft. The mask doesn’t leave any greasy residue, it smells great, feels soothing whilst wearing it, and even if it doesn’t achieve anything (which I’m sure it does), it is simply a pleasure to use.
