I have tried so many products trying to not only clear up my skin but also to take care of my aging skin. Yes, it hurts to admit that I have aging skin. Here are the products that I have been using this winter to aid me in this pursuit.

Step #1: Break down and remove oil and makeup.

We have all seen social media being invaded by images and videos of the new peel off masks. They are meant to suck the dirt and oil from your face and rip it from your pores. 

So, I decided I hat to try it.

Here is my review of the SnazII Suction Black Mask (that is what the tube says).

❊ The first time I tried this mask didn't go as planned. I thought I could used the mask on my whole face. I suggest not to do that. 

A. It does hurt when peeling it off. So be careful where you put it. 

B. It can rip out hair, for example eyebrow hair. *That hurts too*

C. It is hard to wash off skin and surfaces. 

Let me explain:

I had some trouble smearing the mask on because it is a bit tacky (that is the only word I could come up with). Once I had covered my face I tried to wash it off of my hands. This took some work and a bit more soap than usual, but I did get it off my hands and then I had to scrub it off my sink. It will "stain" but can come off with some elbow grease. 

After cleaning my sink I waited

It was time to peel. So I had some trouble starting the peel. Ok a lot. It took a while and a few false starts but I finally I got the hang of it. 

After about 30mins of peeling, I had a face riddled with tiny black strips, so I thought they would just rinse of. 

I splashed water on my face and the spots just smeared into larger spots. Great. 

So basically my first try sucked, but on the plus side my face felt clean. 

I will add that when I did start to use it just for spot treatment (in patches rather than over the whole face) it worked great, despite the difficulty with the clean up. 

Overall I love this type of mask and I will be trying other brands to see if there are any others I like more.

I hope this helped you make a decision about the new trendy mask. 

ENJOY!!
