Franz Skincare’s Jet Plus Microcurrent Facial Dual Mask

Let’s face it: Mom does a lot for us, and sometimes she needs to simply relax and enjoy some me time.

Perfect to use before applying makeup or in the evening before bed, this mask firms skin and reduces the look of pores thanks to Tissue X(R) microcurrent technology.
