Mario Badescu Drying Mask Review

Skin type: Oily, sensitive and acne prone
Skin tone: Fair to medium

Hii Everyone,

Incorporating face mask in your skincare routine is the perfect way to combat and prevent acne. Also, using face mask is just one of the great ways to relax and detoxify the skin. I have an extremely oily skin, which is equally sensitive and prone to acne. I also have large pores on both my cheeks and due to Dubai’s hot and humid weather, my skin can easily get breakouts. I have been using this face mask for almost 2 weeks now and I just wanted to share how this product fared for me.

My Experience with Mario Badescu Drying Mask:

Mario Badescu Drying Mask Packaging

Packaging: This mask comes in a simple plastic jar packaging which is more than enough for good three months if used as directed. The cap is sturdy and shuts tightly. It comes in a sealed packaging to keep it fresh. Every time I use the mask I assure to tightly close the lid so that the drying mask does not start drying out itself. To be honest, I would have preferred a pump packaging or a tube packaging for hygiene reasons.

Now, before you think of trying this out, I’m going to warn you about the awful smell it has. Since one of the major ingredients of this mask is Sulfur, this smells horrible like burnt rubber. The smell is strong and can give a headache to sensitive noses. This sure smell awful but I can tolerate it as it works amazingly.

I just apply it on my zits on to my clean face and leave it for 20 minutes or so. Following that, I just rinse it off with warm water and pat it dry. Although it’s Kaolin clay based mask, it’s quite easy to wash off. I can smell the product on myself after washing it off, which is a turnoff but that is something I am prepared to ignore, as this is such a fab product.

It dries out the zits flat in just 2 days without leaving scars behind. It does not dry out the skin, unlike other anti-acne products. It’s a real miracle product. Texture wise, it has a runny yet smooth consistency due to which the product spreads on evenly and dries out quite quickly.

Overall, keeping aside the smell factor, the product is actually great!! It dries out a pimple overnight and reduces the redness around a pimple as soon as you wash it off. Can you imagine any product working that fast? I have tried the drying lotion from same range but found drying mask to be better. You have to try it to believe it!!
