GlamGlow Bubblesheet™ Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask

A first-of-its-kind oxygenating deep cleanse mask with Green Tea Teaoxi® that works to reveal glowing skin.

This carbonated fizzy foam mask effectively removes dirt, excess oil, and makeup buildup. The translucent cleanser begins the oxygenating transformation into a face-forming foam cushion and 3-D microbubbles foam in all directions for the ultimate detox. The black bamboo charcoal sheet is infused with a microbubbling cleanser, featuring Green Tea Teaoxi technology and the essential amino acid l-arginine for radiant skin. A subtle tingling sensation awakens the complexion, while fresh citrus invigorates the senses.

HOW TO USE

Dampen face and unfold mask. Place onto the face, aligning with the eyes, nose and mouth area. Smooth all around the face. The oxygenating microbubbles will start to form within 60 seconds. Leave on for approximately 3 minutes. Remove mask and gently massage face with remaining cleansing bubbles. Rinse clean with water.

THOUGHTS

November 9th, 2018: Meh. I felt very indifferent about this mask, which is not how I should feel after using a pricey $9 sheet mask. If I'm spending that much money on a single use sheet mask that I'm throwing into the trash after a few minutes of use, then I should be super impressed, but I'm not. I can't even say that it's good. Not that it's terrible...it didn't do anything bad to my face, but the problem is that it didn't do anything...at all. It was like it never happened...like I never used it. It did not clean, much less deep clean and it did not reveal glowing skin like it claims above. I didn't even smell the fresh citrus which was supposed to invigorate my senses. I got a big fat nothing.

I will say that I loved the texture of the sheet mask...it's made of that plush velvety soft material that I LOVE for sheet masks, but that's about it in terms of positive things I like about this mask. While it did bubble up, I've definitely tried others that bubble up much more than this did, and I had to wear it for longer than the 3 minutes they tell you to leave it on for, for it to really start to bubble up and for some reason it didn't bubble up in certain spots as you can see in the pic below. I don't know why it didn't bubble up all over uniformly.

Anywho, it just didn't do anything. I had to go in with my normal cleanser after using this because my face did not feel clean at all. It just felt like I rinsed it with water. I mean I'm glad it didn't do anything negative...it didn't irritate my face or make me breakout or anything, so I guess nothing is better than having a bad or adverse reaction, but this was a total waste of time and money and therefore gets a big fat pass from me. If you want a bubble mask that actually works and does something and is much cheaper than the $9 that this one is, then I would suggest Berrisom's Oops Soda Bubble Mask - Poretox: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/11/berrisom-skincare.html. Even though that one doesn't cover the entire face and is only used on the lower half of the face, it is leaps and bounds better than this one.

THOUGHTS

October 19th, 2018: Oh boy, this made me break out so bad...in all fairness though it does warn you that it's not for sensitive skin, but it's a clay mask and I've tried a lot of clay masks and specifically Kaolin clay masks like this one before so I figured I would give it a go anyways...I so regret that.

I had been wearing a lot of makeup lately and my pores felt yucky and like they needed a deep cleaning, so I decided to whip this out to try. Application was fine. It was a thinner liquid-y mud/clay formula, so it spread and applied nicely. It does smell like licorice, which is not my favorite scent, but not a big deal. However, immediately after I had applied it...it started to sting and burn and as time went on it only got worse and worse. It got to a point where I just had to get it off my face. I had it on for about 6-7 minutes before I had to tap out and just go and wash it off my face and my face was not happy. After removing my face was red and splotchy and in an effort to calm it I sprayed on a crap ton of calming and soothing toners and essences and went in with hydrating serums and moisturizers. Despite that the damage had apparently already been done. I woke up the next morning with the worst breakout...which sucked considering how well my skin was doing.

My guess is that my skin did not like all the acids that are in here because as I stated above, I have used a lot of different clay masks before and specifically Kaolin clay masks like this one is before and I've never had this issue...but shame on me for not listening to the products warning...although If you've been reading my blog for awhile now then you know that I'm always confused about whether I have sensitive skin or not. Sometimes I'm afraid it's going to be sensitive and it's resilient and sometimes I think it'll be fine but it's not, so I can never tell, but this time around it very much was sensitive. Uber sensitive, so if you have the slightest inkling that you might have sensitive skin than I would just say stay away...listen to GlamGlow's warning and stay far far away. This is not the product for you.

THOUGHTS

October 18th, 2018: Love the look of this mask. It definitely makes the process a little more fun and exciting than using a plain ole sheet mask, but honestly it wasn't anything amazing. It was just ok.

Despite being "foiled" on the outside, it was more a cloth like foil so it was still comfortable...especially the inside of the mask which is made of silk fabric and does feel very soft and nice. As for the size, it was a bit small for my face, didn't cover the sides of my nose and the sides of my face, but I do seem to have a bigger than average sized face so while it didn't completely cover my face, it may still cover yours. Although the nose part was extremely small, so I don't know that it would properly cover anyone's nose unless you have a very flat and tiny nose. It also didn't cover my entire forehead as well, but that's usually par for the course as I have a large forehead.

Anywho, once on the face it did feel nice, but it wasn't particularly cooling and refreshing, although I don't think it's supposed to be due to the exterior foil, which makes it more of an insulating mask. It also definitely wasn't the most secure feeling mask. Also, the sheet itself felt like it was on the dry side...it was dry to begin with and only dried out even more from there. Usually sheet masks are drenched in serum, but this one wasn't...at least it didn't feel like it was drenched in serum and as the masking session progressed the sheet just seemed to dry out. Usually sheet masks stay wet throughout the entire masking session, but by the time it was time to remove the mask it felt dry...especially the foil side, which was completely dry.

I was surprised though when I removed the mask, because even though it felt dry (both front and back) it left behind a ton of serum on my face. It was the oddest thing. The mask itself felt dry, but my face was covered in serum, which I guess explains why it was low key sliding down my face. Even though it felt and seemed to be dry it really wasn't. Wow, how many times have I said the word dry.

Anywho, once removed the serum was easily absorbed into the skin. I just pat pat patted it into my face and it absorbed pretty quickly. I did find this to be hydrating, but it wasn't amazingly hydrating and moisturizing or special in any way. It was a pretty standard masking session, so given how much more expensive this is, it's not worth it in my opinion...unless you just like the novelty of having a gold foiled mask which is fun and different.

Oh, and it does have a slight scent, but nothing that's bothersome.
