Modeling Mask Powder Pack Cool Ice for Soothing and Pore Management, 240g

Saw this mask trending on Pinterest so decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! It’s a refreshing mask that leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft! I’ve only used it once so far but will continue to update this review as I go through the bucket.First, it’s a lot product! Worth the $10 or so bucks. Powder is packed in a bag inside a bucket/bottle which I think is great. Bag avoids spillage during transit and the bucket is great secure storage.Before using the mask I washed my face with a cleanser and then applied a toner. I made the mask while the toner dried.I mixed 1 tablespoon of powder with 1 tablespoon of water. It made enough to cover my face in a medium thick mask. For a thick layer I would suggest 2 tbs of powder and water each.It’s a thick consistency so it was easy to spread on my face with a plastic spatula. It really is cooling and smells like mint! I couldn’t nail down the scent of the powder itself but it doesn’t smell like mint until you mix it with water. I didn’t really feel any intense tightening or pulling as it dried.TIP: DO NOT LET THE MASK DRY COMPLETELYI figured that the dryer the mask, the easier it would be to pull off, which is WRONG. After the 15 minutes I saw that only the edges looked dry so I decided to leave it on for 30 minutes total (instructions say 15 - 30 minutes). I was surprised when after the 30 minutes it was still ‘wet’ in the center.Then when I started to try and peel it off, I realized the mistake I made. Once the mask dries completely it STICKS to your skin (hair too if you coat some by accident like i did). It basically becomes a second layer of skin that cracks and falls apart in tiny pieces. At the end it was like I had crushed egg shells on the counter and my shirt.The wet ‘blueish gray’ parts peeled off so easily. I couldn’t get large pieces because of the dry parts but I can imagine how easy it is to peel off if it’s all ‘wet’. Especially if it’s a thicker mask. Funnily enough, it felt like peeling that thin layer of skin from a boiled egg.I ended up having to use a stiff brush to brush/scrape the mask from my face. Then I gave up and used my nails lol. So any redness on my skin is from removing the mask, not the material.Other than that, my skin felt really nice and soft. There was a slight white cast on my skin but honestly it was probably from letting it dry too long. I had taken so long to remove it that I just but some spray serum on my face and left it at that.No reaction to the mask that I could tell however it’s been two days since I used it and I see some pimples starting to form on my forehead. I’m considering it the mask pulling the impurities out which happens a lot when using new products. So I’m not gonna fault the mask for that.I’m going to use it again tonight and will post any updates if something significant happens.

I love this product! First impressions, the container had a seal that kept the lid attached to the base and once opened the product was in a sealed bag that you open and pour into the bucket. The product comes dry, and smells kinda like minty dirt at first but either i got used to the smell or the smell went away after adding water.To mix i kinda just eyeballed it with a spoon, but i think you’ll want a thicker mixture over a thin so it doesn’t droop off your face as your applying but not too thick!I washed my face and put some skincare on then i put the mask on my face, trying to make it even but thick. Then I waited 15-20 minutes!The feeling was so wonderful! It was very cooling and relaxing and like i said the smell went away so it had no scent. I peeled it off upward but idk if it matters, it never tugged hard on my skin except in more sensitive areas at the edge of the mask that i accidentally applied very very thinly but it wasn’t painful. Ive only used it this once so far but my skin feel so wonderful, moisturized, mellow, and less red patchiness too!

I asked a question about 45 minutes ago that isn't showing up and that question was exactly how much powder & how much water is the correct mixture for a face mask application. I have oily skin, large pores, and rosacea. Some nights in winter, my face burns enough that I grab an ice pack from the freezer and apply it to my cheeks. This approach is frowned upon by my anesthesician, so I purchased this mask and an ice roller. Tonight the mask arrived and I was disappointed to discover there were no English usage instructions. I noticed in the 6 answered questions that someone said the mask should be the consistency of oatmeal. Also noticed the fractional denomination of parts powder & water. Not sure how to measure in the parts defined. So, I took a Tablespoon powder and splashed in some water. Mixed until smooth. Applied to my face (somewhat heavy because there was a lot there). Please note it was smooth; I would liken the consistency to yogurt. I left it on until I could feel the thin parts of the mask dry. In other words, if you want to laugh and you feel crunchy, that's how long I let it dry. No more than 15 minutes. The entire time, my face felt cool and comfortable.I was not sure of proper removal (usually depend heavily on manufacturer instruction) so I wet a washcloth with warm water and started to wipe. I noticed immediately that areas with thicker mask application wanted to peel off rather easily. The only areas needing the washcloth were the areas I inadvertently applied thinly. The thicker areas I could not peel had a tendency to stick in my hair. When all the mask was removed, even the bumpiest areas where my pores are perpetually the largest felt smooth. My skin feels clean and tight; not dry. I am looking forward to using this again. Next time I will not wash off over the sink, because I'm a bit concerned that I've plugged the drain with the cohesive chunks of the mask. Additionally, I'd recommend less than a Tablespoon of powder for just your face. It feels wasteful to mix more than is actually needed to thickly coat the face. I will update this review if I determine there are any long term pore shrinkage affects from this mask, but for now only 4 stars. Very cooling and soothing, but disappointing to have to trial & error the mixture. It seems a rather simple idea to put an instruction sheet in with the container.
