I occasionally use a facial mask with my fiance. Perhaps after some *ahem* alone time and a hot shower, we'll let our masks dry while having a sip of wine, watching a tv show, and enjoying each others company. I can say that my face feels smooth after a mask, but I don't partake for the skin benefits - mostly just to enjoy some time with my special lady. If you'd like to try a facial mask - get some for your special lady! She'll love you for it, and you can try it with her. Some drugstores carry mask packs for no more than a buck or so a piece, so you can get a few different kinds for the both of you and go from there. Kind of a win-win, if you ask me!
