GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD & YOUTHMUD MASKS REVIEW

Glam Glow Supermud and Glam Glow Youthmud

Girls, it's happened.
I jumped on the Glam Glow bandwagon!

I didn't know how to feel about this product, because to me it seemed to appear on the beauty scene overnight, like a mushroom after the rain.
Like, I had never heard about it, and then suddenly everyone and their dog was raving about it.

And hype didn't seem to die down, so I finally decided to give it a try and check out myself what it was all about.
I got both the Supermud and the Youthmud masks, and here are my thoughts after using them 3 times each, over a 3 week time.


GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment (white jar)
It smells very fresh like clay and peppermint. It has a creamy, mud-like texture, and it contains little flakes of real eucalyptus leaves. It goes on black and dries light grey.
On my dry skin it dries stiff in a few minutes, but I still leave it on for the max 20 minutes advised, for maximum effectiveness.
It didn't take me long to see - literally - why everybody swears by this mask.
You can soon see the most nasty looking black dots appear where your pores are - so mainly in the nose area - where the mask is doing its thing on them.
So I mean, even before you know what's happening, you totally SEE that something is happening!!! :-O
When I wash it off, my pores and my skin overall look definitely clearer and smoother. And I'm telling you, I looked real close with a big magnifying mirror, because I honestly had to see all of this on myself to believe it.


GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (black jar)
It smells like Earl Grey tea to me, so luxurious!! ^_^
Its texture is more raw and gritty than the Supermud, and it contains pieces of real green tea Leaves. As I apply it, I immediately feel a tingling sensation.
It dries faster than the Supermud, and I leave it on for the max 10 minutes advised. As you rinse it off, its grains will provide an extra mechanical exfoliation.
Again, my skin looks clearer and soooo baby soft!!! I wish I were a chemist to really understand how the mask can do this!! :-O

I am lucky enough not to have any particular skin problems to begin with, so I can't say how these masks would act on more specific skin issues.
But this is what I see on myself every time I use them, and I can totally say that on me both masks do what they say.

After I use the GlamGlow masks, to finish off my beauty treatment I apply one of my Asian hydrating sheet masks ^_^

I have already purchased a back-up of both Supermud and Youthmud, and I can't wait to try their new Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment!!

I hope my review was helpful, thank you for reading and please let me know if you have any questions! :-)

  3. I love both these masks too! I never got into a routine of using them every week though because I guess I wanted to save them, haha. My YouthMud dried out :'-(

    1. Oh no!! But the instructions on both the packaging and the leaflet tell you to add a few drops of water to re-liquefy it!!
