|Review|: Glam Glow YouthMud Tingle Exfoliate Treatment

Hi Beauties!

Today I am going to review a much raved product in the beauty community. I was very skeptical of it before buying as I have never spent this much money on some skin care product, that too on a tiny tester size. Girls, its shit expensive and trust me when I held it, I was like what the what man, where is my mask? Is that it? Its super tiny!!! Anyways, I am talking about the very famous mud mask brand, Glam Glow which is considered to be a high end brand often used by celebrities and has raving reviews almost everywhere. I tried the youthmud tingle exfoliate treatment and here is my take on it.

Packaging: 

So the tester size comes in a tiny jar weighing only 15 gms. The jar is silver metallic and very sturdy. To me the silver black packaging has the feel of unisex. The jar comes sealed with a transparent plastic over the jar and from the inside its foil sealed. This ensures you buying authentic and new, fresh packed product. 

The mask has a wet thick mud like consistency and has a very strong minty fragrance. Its cold to touch and is of grey color. The tester size is perfect for carrying around in your handbag and is the perfect skin care product if you are on the go.

Usage Instructions: 

Apply a thin layer of the mask on clean face and allow it to try. It shall dry within 10 minutes and the skin will feel a tingling and tightening sensation. When the mask is completely rinse off with circular hand motions to exfoliate. 

Freshly applied, notice the leaves

Freshly applied

 Notice the difference between freshly applied and dried out pictures. You can see how the gunk is coming out from the nose pores. You can see small pore like formation over the nose by the mask. 

Drying out

 Right next to the nose, there are is more porous development, thats the part of my face where I have open pores. More dirt coming out of the skin....

 My Experience:

During the application you might feel the strong minty smell off putting, its quite over whelming to be honest but still I like it. The skin feels really cool like the effect of menthol on the skin and at the same time, it feels as if the skin is burning, there is a slight tingling feeling but nothing serious. The after effects of this tingling sensation may last for a few minutes even when the mask is washed off. Skin might feel a little red after wards but soon all this disappears and you are left with a subtle glowing skin. With just one application, I am able to spot noticeable differences on my skin. My pores have shrunk, my skin feels light, clean and it feels as if my skin can literally breathe openly. The complexion feels brighter and there is a glow on the skin. I now get why this product is used by celebs like Nina Dobrev, Miley Cyrus and others.

The mask is perfect for someone like me who applies makeup on skin everyday for long hours. For me, its a miracle in a jar as it gives quick fix to my skin. Coming to the practical side of it, the price may sound enormous but then again how much do we all pay for every facial treatment we get at the salons? This tiny jar is going to last me for 4 uses at least which is enough for me if I use it once a week. Although its recommended to be used twice or thrice a week but to be honest I can not be that regular. 

Its a totally recommended product from my side. I would recommend using it to everyone. If you are still thinking, I insist you give it a try, I am sure you will not regret it.
