How do we like Orginins Charcoal Mask?

Any similarity to the MAC volcanic ash mask? Thanks for reading.

It is supposed to clear my skin right and I moisturize right after?

I don't know that product specifically, but i tend to assume with any mask that is supposed to clear the skin, apply, let sit, wash and moisturize.

According to the Origins web site, it says you have to moisturize:

How to make the most of your mask.

1. Cleanse skin first. Using a mask on a dirty face is like polishing a dirty floor.

2. Read instructions carefully. For best results pay attention to suggested masking time and removal techniques.

3. Be generous. Most masks work best when laid on thick. Avoid eye area.

4. Put your feet up so that oxygen is redirected from lower body to your head. Oxygenating facial skin will help the mask's action - and help you relax.

5. Moisturize immediately after. Once you've removed dead skin cells and cleared pores your moisturizer will penetrate more deeply.

lol this made me giggle. Simply putting your feet up is not gonna "oxygenate facial skin".

I haven't tried this particular mask, but I've tried alot of other Origins stuff and I think it's great quality! There is a 25% off code in the coupons forum so if you want to try it, now's the time! You can get it pretty cheap!

I like that product. My husband uses it too. If he gets a pimple, he puts a little on it and sleeps with it. The next day it's barely visible.

It's pretty good for blackheads.

I like it after I steam my skin with boiling water in a basin. This mask is great. Leaves my skin soft and clean

I love ir!!
