Due diligence is the best option for many of us and by diligence I mean testing and trying out product samples to see if they're a fit for our anti-aging needs. What I love about the Mario Badescu Skin Care line is that there are products for every skin type and every skin concern out there.

My Experience:
First of all this masque smells so fresh and pure almost like the ocean breeze, I had to take a moment and take in the aroma. It's very creamy and hydrating and I just loved how it applied nice and evenly. I always mask in the mornings following a light steam over my tea kettle.
This is how the masque looks right after I applied it. It also dried the same way and wash off very quickly without leaving any residue. My skin was extremely soft and smooth, I felt that I didn't need to use any moisturizer underneath my primer because my skin was so hydrated. I really recommend this product if you have very dry skin. I have oily skin so I probably will use this only in extreme cases when my skin becomes very dry or maybe if i'm in really cold weather..... btw I live in California!
