first of all, I decided to purchase this because I had seen it at Walgreens a while back locally and I was desperate for a face mask and that's how I discovered it originally, I remember having a severe issue with my face where there were terrible wrinkles and immediately this product had managed to clear out a majority of my face off of one treatment.
you are supposed to use apple cider vinegar for best results when mixing it with the mud powder, and do not use metal, as it does explain in the directions.
I would not waste my time giving this review this in-depth if I did not like the product 100%. I understand everybody's face is different, however it does say in the directions that if you have any issues with your skin, it does not hurt to put a small amount on a portion of your skin to try it out before you put the whole entire treatment on your face. if you have an issue with having a very fragile face/sensitive skin, you only keep it on between 5 and 10 minutes, otherwise normal to rougher skin types should keep it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
let me explain to you my experience on boxing... everything was wrapped up and bubble wrap around the bag as advertised in the product before you buy it, it comes with the bag and bubble wrap all around it and there is bubble wrap around every product that comes inside of the bag as well. apple cider vinegar had bubble wrap on it, which is very important. so the packaging was great. they did a really good job caring about how they packaged it so that nothing broke.
after taking everything out of the packaging, I washed the bowl and the utensils that came with it. I recommend doing so because these items do come out of warehouses. it is important to do so especially seeing as how it is going to be affecting your skin.
it comes with the mixing spatula, the applicator to apply it on your skin and it also comes with the bowl and a scoop to scoop out the powder out of the tub.
I applied this on my boyfriend's skin on his face, however he does have facial hair and so we just went around that. I applied it to my whole entire face and I took a before picture with very good lighting because I wanted to see what the results were like, and the end results for both of us were quite amazing. both of us had our masks on for 20 minutes.
you can use this product a few times per week, however it is really recommended once per week. it is up to you to decide how much your skin can tolerate it. in order to see the best results, I would give it probably a good 6 weeks before you start seeing any major results, but I can assure you that you will see drastic results as soon as your first treatment is none. Do not move your face or talk or laugh while you were doing your treatment to prevent cracking in mask. this mask will be a little bit painful when it dries and cause redness temporarily, but that just means it is working the way it should. I highly recommend this as an affordable and good quality produc
