Queen Helene is a line of hair care and skin care products found in many drugstores and beauty product retailers. One of the signature elements in all Queen Helene beauty products seems to be the inclusion of natural ingredients like avocado and grapefruit. While Queen Helene’s primary focus seems to be on hair care, they do several skin care offerings as well. Most of these can be found in their “Facial Masks and Scrubs” category.
It’s worth pointing out that, while Queen Helene offers several products with anti-aging ingredients in the formula, none of them seem to be specifically categorized as “anti-aging” products. For example, the “Avocado and Grapefruit Facial Masque” promises to restore a “healthy glow” to users cheeks. It also seems as if all of the Queen Helene Facial Masques are paraben free.
Product Details
One thing we can say about the Queen Helene Facial Masques is that they all sound delicious. In fact, we don’t know weather to put them on or eat them. Products in the Queen Helene Face Masque range include: Mint Julep Masque, Mud Pack Masque, Grape Seed Peel Off Masque and the Olive Oil Masque. Queen Helene also produces a line of facial scrubs with the same ingredients. The Queen Helene Mud Pack Masque is said to feature “Natural English Clay”, and seems to be the closest thing the line has to a wrinkle-fighting product. In addition to the face masques, Queen Helene also offers foot therapy, organic body lotions, hair care and muscle relieving bath “tonics.”
The Good
- There are many Queen Helene products to choose from, which is nice if you find that you like the brand.
- Many Queen Helene products are marked “organic” and “fair trade.”
- These products can be found in most big-name drug stores.
The Bad
- While Queen Helene’s masques may do good things for your skin, they are no really intended to treat wrinkles.
- We could not find full ingredient lists for Queen Helene products.
- With so many products to choose from, finding the most effective one for you could be difficult.
The Bottom Line
Queen Helene looks to be a fairly typical brand of drugstore skin and beauty care products. Unfortunately for our readers, this probably isn’t the best way to treat your wrinkles. If you’re concerned about issues like blackheads or dry skin, Queen Helene masques could be the way to go. But for wrinkles, we would prefer a a more targeted formula. The best wrinkle fighters actively promote collagen growth in the user’s skin, and we saw no Queen Helene products that accomplish this important goal. As we age, the skin’s collagen production slows, which is what can lead to old, “dry” looking skin and wrinkles. Finding a product that boosts collagen is key to recapturing a youthful, “full” complexion.
The cosmetic industry is a billion dollar business targeting women in spending their hard earned dollars on products to keep them looking young and more attractive.
My wife uses Queen Helene Mud Pack Masque. It goes into the grocery cart and I pay for it.
It is made with “Natural English Clay”. I seriously doubt that clay is imported from England. Would my wife buy it if it said it was made with real Mississippi River Mud?
I woman’s face feels refreshed because she has to scrub off all that dried on stuff from her face. If she would use a wash cloth and soap, like I do, she would feel just as clean and refreshed. After I finish scrubbing with my wash cloth, my cheeks also have a healthy glow without the pore clogging ingredeants from all those face creams.
If a woman invests twenty to thirty minutes of her time, wearing that hidious face mask and a $10 investment, she will believe anything that is printed on the box. The other down side of her use of the Mud Pack Masque is that it stinks up the house. Who am I to complain. I did once and she didn’t talk to me for the next two days. It seems that I hurt her feeling because she was going through all that trouble, and (my) expense to make herself look more attractive for me. Ingrateful husband! Of course, I come in the house smelling like diesel fuel from working on the car and I get thrown out of the house.
Ladies, go outside, dig a small hole, mix the dirt with a little water, and smear that on your face. It will do the same thing, smell better, and be dirt cheap.
Have a nice day!
