I think masque is the american spelling and mask is the english.

I think masque is the american spelling and mask is the english.

Other way round hun, the spelling masque is the English spelling, it comes from the Norman French word, 48% of our lauguage has it's route in the Norman French lauguage. American spelling is usualy a lot more straight forward then ours.
However, due to increased trading between countries the rules have become a lot more blurred then they used to be, so either is okay, use which ever you think looks right to you.

Okay. That's odd though as I only thought it must be that way as Dermalogica use 'masque' and as it's american i thought that would explain the difference.
