It’s week 2 of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers Mask-off! This week I tried out the Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Face Masque. The honey from this mask comes from the Manuka Bushes of New Zealand and they’ve also added Jasmine for a lovely floral scent. So fancy!
Remember that you can pick up for $1.99 at Farley Co Beauty as well as:
- London Drugs
- Select Loblaws
- Select Zehrs
- Walmart
It’s been a while since I’ve tried a peel off mask, and just as I remember it HURTS when you peel it off. A lot. But afterward my skin was dewy and surprisingly not red (win for sensitive skin!).
I did find my skin a bit dry afterwards so I’d suggest applying a rich moisturizer following this mask. I did the mask with wet hair because I know it’s easy for pieces of hair to get caught in it while it’s drying. I pulled my hair back after I snapped this photo and didn’t have any issues with stray hairs getting stuck.
For several hours afterward I could catch wiffs of honey from my skin, and lucky for me I love the smell so it didn’t bother me at all!
- Comfort: 2/5 – It feels nice while applying but once it’s dry your skin is so tight you can’t even smile. Plus peeling it off is ouchie!
- Aroma: 4/5 – It’s no chocolate mask…but it smells really nice!
- Result: 3/5 – Left my skin a bit dry, but I didn’t get any hives or redness
- Ease of use: 3/5 – It was thick and easy too apply
Overall score: 12

Hehe love the selfie! This scent sounds really nice, but I’m not a huge fan of peel off masks.

I don’t blame you, they can be ouchie for sure! My favourite part of the mask was the smell for sure 🙂
Tracey says
What a fun to read post. Loved your pics too! Manuka honey is such a popular ingredient just now and one that I really love. I used to be so fond of peel off masks. I think it was the peeling iff process that I enjoyed so much. Ha ha! This mask looks really good value for money though note your points about being ouchie to peel off and leaving skin dry.
Megan Joy says
Thanks Tracey! I had never heard of Manuka honey before trying this mask but now I can see why it’s so popular! I think this mask would be amazing for oiler skin types!
Sarah says
You have such cute selfies! I loved the smell of this, and I kept getting whiffs after, up to the next day.
Megan Joy says
I loved the smell too 🙂 Who doesn’t like their skin smelling like delicious honey?
Chantal says
I have pretty much the same comments you do for this mask. It smells great! Kind of an ouchie to remove. Left my skin dry, but really soft.
