Eh, everything"s relative!) This mask is old news; it"s a classic example ofskincaretainment, & the sản phẩm is more well-known for its entertainment value than the actual effects on the skin. That"s partly why I"ve avoided it until now, but it"s summer and my skin is a slimy mess in this humidity so it"s very ready for an occasional clay mask. Why not one that inflatesinto a comically wide cloud of foam while on your face, making you look lượt thích a pixar character while doing double duty of first cleansing andclay mask style deep pore cleansing all in one go?

Ingredients

Thoroughly mystified as to what might have caused the skin reaction, I checked out the ingredients list on Cosdna:Purified Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, trắng Clay, Acrylate Copolymer, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Green Tea Extracts, Glycerine, Dipropylene Glycol, Bentonite, Collagen, Charcoal Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Flavouring Agents, Carbonated Water, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol, lavender Extracts, Monarda Didyma Leaf Extracts, Peppermint Leaf Extracts, Freesia Leaf Extracts, Chamomile Flower Extracts, Rosemary Leaf ExtractThis product contains SLS, which is a huge flag for some people. It"s not an ingredient trigger for me, however, so unless this contains so much SLS it"s suited khổng lồ stripping crude oil out of a rig worker"s overalls (do they wear overalls?) I just can"t see that being the culprit. My skin hates menthol, so it"s possible it might be the peppermint. Whatever it was, my skin did nooooot like it, as you will see in the next section.As to what causes the bubbling effect, I"d highly recommend checking out Labmuffin"s post on oxygen masks, where she explains thatperfluorocarbons (like the Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether in this product) are the key ingredient in self-foaming oxygen masks like this one.

What it did khổng lồ my face

Warning: will feature low-res front-facing camera shots that weren"t actually meant for the public, which is why I didn"t bother with setting up my semi-decent camera và fussing with lighting và whatnot. These were actually destined for the other members of the snail unit, who tend khổng lồ bear the brunt of my live reporting of skincare disasters, like the time I Hanbanged Too Hard. However, once I got the mask off and saw that the nasty reaction I had the first go-round was not in fact due to lớn the acid exfoliants I had been using, there was no chance I would put my skin through this again in order to lớn take nice photos. The lighting is different due lớn being in different rooms-- the results photo was taken in natural light, rather than a phối of natural và artificial lượt thích the first photo.I have not corrected the colour or trắng balance of these photos, & unfortunately the camera didn"t capture how dramatic the result was in real life. My face wasn"t just red, it was mottled with extra-angry patches. You can see how angry it is compared the skin on my neck/chest.
