I'm still in my twenties, but I have used the mineral firming clay mask from ST.Ives. I love it! Although I'm not so worried right now about my skin being firm, I find it is a very great product and makes my skin look GREAT for days after. I also like that it didn't dry out my skin, or make it oily. I continue to use on a weekly basis and don't plan on stopping! :)
