Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial

I was going to write a post on one of my favourite products, Clinique's Turnaround 15 Minute Facial mask, but when I went to the Clinique website, I found it's been discontinued in favour of a new product - Instant Facial. While the old mask was to be left on for 15 minutes, this new one claims to do the same magic in just five minutes. Hopefully sometime soon I will have the funds to try it out and let you know how it performs!

The original turnaround mask was a ticket to glowy, clear skin for me - something I turned to before a big event when I needed an immediate effect, not the crap skin now, great in 4 days effect you often get from a facial or more deeply cleansing mask.

The premise is much the same - apply mask, let it dry, and rub off with circular movements to stimulate the skin and to get an exfoliating effect. I loved the old one for it's slightly PVA-glue like consistency - takes me right back to painting my hand with glue and peeling it off - although this is definitely not peelable! I really like that the new product is in a tube and not a tub - makes for more hygienic long term usage.
