From scents to sets, these are gifts that will make mum’s day…

FANCY FACE MASKS

BEAUTY Mothers Day 092872Which ingredient makes for the best sheet mask: oil, clay or charcoal? Our testers find out…

Origins Flower Fusion Orange Randiance-Boosting Sheet Mask, £5 (www.origins.co.uk)

BEAUTY Mothers Day 092893

“This easy to use citrus offering from Origins (just open, unfold and pop it on) is soaked in an uplifting zesty oil. After leaving it on for 10 minutes, I massaged in the moisturising residue in and found that my skin looked instantly dewier and brighter. There’s plenty of oil left on the sheet to apply to your neck and decolletage afterwards too.”

Skin Republic Bubble Purifying & Charcoal Face Mask Sheet, £5.49 (Available April 1; LookFantastic.com)BEAUTY Mothers Day 092864

“Made with activated charcoal, this mask starts to bubble as soon as you place it over your face, which feels like tiny fish nibbling at your face – in a good way! The black mask was quickly covered in a soft layer of soapy suds, and when I removed it and rinsed my face 15 minutes later, my skin felt squeaky clean. It’s a little harsh for me, but for oily complexions this would be ideal.”

Starskin Silkmud Pink French Clay Sheet Face Mask, £8.50 (Asos.com)

BEAUTY Mothers Day 101666

“This mask comes in two separate halves, which means it fits nicely to the contours of your face. Once on, it stays in place and feels pleasant – there’s barely any discomfort or tightness as it dries. Peeling it off 20 minutes later, there was no pesky clay residue, my complexion is noticeably more even and feels super soft.”
