Now I don’t know about you, but I am one of those people that can’t really tell much of a difference when I use certain face masks, and I’ve been through my fair share trying to find the right ones! Since I have oily skin I’m always really interested in finding the best charcoal mask to get deep down into my pores! I used some of the more popular masks like the Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask and the GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment and honestly… I just assumed they were doing the job because they’re insanely raved about. It’s not as though the masks were terrible but I just never noticed a crazy difference. There was one mask; however, that finally changed the game…
I introduce to you.. The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Face Mask ($28) (yes it’s a mouthful but IT’S WORTH IT I SWEAR)
I basically stumbled upon this gem when I was in The Body Shop replenishing my other fav face mask (the Tea Tree Oil Skin Clearing Face Mask $19) and the sales associate gave me a sample saying that it’s a dupe for the GlamGlow mask. I reeeeally wanted to believe her so I went home and tried it and was like wtf why don’t more people know about this??? After using it I could INSTANTLY see that my pores were more clean and were smaller. After seeing such results I was instantly hooked! Not only does it have all the benefits of a charcoal mask, but it’s also cheaper compared to the friggen $75 GlamGlow mask AND it’s cruelty free!! This will forever be a staple in my skincare routine. Hooray for all!
