Glamglow Supermud

   This face mask is good if you have problem skin or skin imperfections, and you would like to clarify your skin.

   The formula is a blend of six acids, charcoal, clay and their Teaoxi. It is paraben, phthalate, sulfate, soap, oil, petrolatum, drying alcohol free and is also vegan.

   This mask comes in two different sizes 50 ml and 100 ml. The smaller one comes in a jar, and the bigger one comes in a tube. I have to say I really like the jar better than the tube. I find that the product comes out too fast from the tube. I think that the hole of the tube is too big for the product and I had to be very careful not to tip it over, because the product would come out without being squeezed.

    On the package it says to leave this mask on for 5 – 20 minutes. The first time I had on this mask a few minutes in I felt a tingling sensation like it was burning my skin, when it started to dry though, the sensation went away. When I took off the mask (after 20 minutes) my face looked slightly red and felt a bit dry, but it felt very clean and smooth. The more I used the mask the more my skin got used to it and it didn’t tingle as much. I always recommend when using a new product to always do a patch test to see how your skin will react to it. I didn’t do that because I have used this product a few years ago and I didn’t have a reaction to it then. Although I still should have done the patch test because my skin could have changed since then. 

    I really like this mask, I find that it reduces the size of pimples by at least half after one use. I will  be using it as a spot treatment to get rid of any pimples that pop up. Overall I recommend this face mask, but do a patch test before using it.
