FOR those suffering a morning after a night before, or have just been working and playing a little too hard, there can be nothing more soothing to a Dawn of the Dead complexion than one of these clever little pods of face mask from US-skincare brand Nügg. Containing two disposable pots of a revitalising formula, two of an exfoliating formula and two of a hydrating one, this tube has an instant facial for every eventuality.
The masks are made of a potent blend of natural oils and extracts which are produced without those controversial mineral oils, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and colours formulated with over 90 per cent natural or naturally-derived ingredients and are cruelty-free. As the pods are intended as one-use only, there is no need for them to contain chemical emulsifiers either.
I tried the lightly peppermint-scented revitalising one after dancing all night, and it’s cool, slightly tingly effect perked up my tired-looking face. I would suggest the hydrating formula after a long day in a centrally heated office, and the cranberry seed oil-based exfoliating one if you are in need of a deep facial cleanse.

You can go about your morning routine while wearing the mask, but it’s much nicer to lie down and let it sink in. It suggests removal with a damp facecloth, but I find vigorous splashing of coldish water gets you out of spa mode and back to reality. The handy size makes them brilliant for travelling as well.
