Review: Glamglow Tingling & Exfoliating Volcanic Rock Mask

The Glamglow Tingling & Exfoliating Mask has been coined the “Hollywood Miracle” and has become a favourite of many A-list celebrities (i.e. Beyonce & Jay Z) in the Entertainment, Music, Fashion & Award industries. This volcanic rock, French sea clay and green tea mask promises a glowing complexion in 10 minutes. With a groundbreaking patent-pending technology, this mask is designed to be a “facial in a jar”.  

“It doesn’t just take care of one skin concern, it delivers everything you need for great skin, whatever your skin type. It delivers both instant and cumulative results and leaves your complexion feeling revived and glowing for 3 days after each application”. 

I had to put these claims to the test, so recently I tried this mud mask for myself. While I can not comment on its long-term effectiveness, I can tell you what I think about it so far. I was expecting some tingling the first time I applied this mask, but what I experienced initially was almost painful. This may have occurred because I applied this over squeaky clean skin, having just used my Clarisonic moments before. The second time I applied this was not as uncomfortable…..there was no pain, just a lot of tingling. If you are planning to try this product, PLEASE do not cleanse your skin beforehand. (as indicated on the directions). I also would not recommend this if your skin is highly sensitive. It is a strong product.

Glamglow Youth-Mud Tinglexfoliate Treatment 

The mask itself is green, gritty and made from a strong clay. I leave it on my face for approximately 10 minutes, sometimes less, depending on dry time. I remove it using circular motions and warm water. My skin immediately feels tight and looks radiant after using this! Even the following day, my skin feels and looks healthy and still has that luminous & youthful glow. I did notice that the “glow” didn’t last for 3 days (as claimed) but I was very satisfied with the way the mask tightened, smoothed, brightened and hydrated my skin.
