Having flawless, blemish free perfect skin is nearly impossible for me. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have at least one pimple on my face starring back at me in the mirror so trying to find a product for my skin to help prevent breakouts is a very lengthy and time consuming process.
Just when I was losing faith in finding that one product that would help my skin like no other I was suggested to try “GLAMGLOW Super Mud” from a sales assistant at Mecca Cosmetica who lit up with excitement when I picked up the box and muttered “what does this do?!”. She swore by it and said it has improved her skin dramatically when she has the odd break out and that I should definitely try it out… but then the words “were all out of samples” came out of her mouth and I was faced with if I wanted to splurge $75 on a product that I didn’t know if would help my breakout problems or not.
I started reading the packaging and noticed how it boasted about the ingredients used to create the super mud mask like:
· Lactic acid to help pigmentation
· Salicylic acid to help de-clog pores
· Pyruvic Acid to help the effects of scarring
· Azelaic Acid to help flight follicle bacteria and breakouts
· Peppermint plant, Eucalyptus leaf, Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Marigold, Cucumber, Ivy.
It also mentioned a list of “skin concerns” Glamglow was able to fight against like blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, zits etc and as soon as I was browsing through the list the word “acne” caught my eye was when I decided YES I NEED TO BUY THIS.
While reading the little leaflet that comes with the product I noticed it says you can get roughly 17 masks out of one jar which is just under $4.50 every time you decide to use the face mask which for me is a pretty decent price when broken down like that!
The mask itself is a dark ashy colour. It smells like a combination of mint, dirt and liquorice and has a thick consistency.
You can apply the mask to your whole face with your hands or a foundation brush and as you see it starting to dry you notice this sort of tingling/cooling sensation all over your face. Which I personally like because I know the product is actually doing something if I can feel like something is going on.
THE BEST BIT ABOUT IT…. as the mask is starting to dry you notice it changes to a pale grey colour but as you look closer you see all these tiny darker spots all over you face. This is in fact the ingredient Activated-X extracting any oils, sebum and toxins from your pores and blemishes, so you can actually see your pores being cleaned by this stuff!
Leave the mask on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. You will notice once you look in the mirror how radiant your skin will look as well as how soft it will feel. The black heads will have disappeared and the blemishes have calmed down. You can actually notice how they get smaller in size as well as how the redness has gone down, I was truly amazed when I took this mask off. After a few days most of my blemishes had disappeared and I was really impressed by how well GLAMGLOW Super mud actually worked. I honestly cant get over this product and I will definitely be re purchasing it again as it is now a staple in my beauty regime.
Make sure to apply toner after the mask to minimise the pores on your face. I also suggest applying this mask after a hot shower while your pores are nice and open so the mask can really work at extracting oils to clean your skin.
