Léonie Blackhead Removing Peel-off Mask |
When I was asked if I would like to review the Léonie Blackhead Removing Peel-off Mask, I
was perfectly honest with the PR rep that I had very nice skin and no
blackheads. However, my nose is quite
oily in the summer and being a deep cleansing mask, I thought this newly
launched product might
be a wonderful normalizing fix so I decided to review it.
This is a black mask with activated charcoal, grapefruit,
lemon peel, and rosemary extracts for pulling impurities and toning the
skin. Since my complexion is dry except for my current bout of oiliness on
the nose, I only applied this mask to my freshly washed nose. According to
the directions, you need to leave this product on your problem area for fifteen
minutes or until it completely dries before you peel it off.
Seeing how hideous my tar-like black nose looked, I hide
out in my bedroom to wait out the time. Almost immediately, I
started feeling the intense tightening action of this product pulling, which was
not exactly comfortable. Nonetheless, I managed to leave it on for the
entire time.
Finally, I noticed my clock read it was time to take this mask
off and see what it did. Removing my mask was not easy to find the edge
with the light-medium coat I gave myself because lifting it was difficult.
I kept digging into my nose for a spot to begin, but it took a while until I
budged some sections and freed my nose. My mistake was probably not
using a thick layer so I could have had more to grab onto.
Everything
eventually peeled off except for a few lighter pieces near the sides and under the
nose. I needed to wash the last of it with hot water and soap, but it did
come off.
This did strip oil, but I do not think this mask was for
me with the extreme tightening sensation or the feat of removing it. Those
with extremely oily complexions with blackheads and pimples probably would have
a more favorable opinion.
The company has a video to explain the mask in
detail. If this sounds like a product that could help you, then do check
out the video for a better understanding.
The LéonieBlackhead Removing Peel-Off Mask normally will retail on Amazon for $28 for
a 3.4 oz. tube. To celebrate it’s August 1 launch, the price drops to $17.
