So, where to begin with this off the wall and amazing mask. I stumbled upon Pola’s B.A line mask at a Japanese skincare shop. Curious about what it was, I ask the associate about it and she couldn’t really tell me much. Now even more curious I check out the product online.
“Ultimate anti-aging mask” – “Highly rich and concentrated foam completely seals the skin to maximise the penetration of its active ingredients” – “The skin will be dramatically clearer, brighter, plumper and firmer” – “You can see immediate results with just one use!”
SOLD. Even though I scoured for an ingredient list and couldn’t find one. I thought I would take the plunge and give it a shot. I got home, opened the box and was in shock. Warnings galore on the back “flammable, keep at a certain temperature, do not puncture or incinerate, only dispense upright (which is a really awkward way to dispense)”. TBH it scared the sh*t out of me, so I didn’t even attempt to use it the first night. But when I finally mustered the courage to use it, I was blown away!
The product is to be used as a finishing mask/Overnight mask. So at the end of your routine, you let the foam do it’s work and you press onto your skin whenever after a certain amount of time. The way my skin looks and feels after usage is incredible! It creates this foam veil/seal that’s feels incredible on the skin. I’m in LOVE with this mask! It’s deeply moisturizing, just brightens everything, and my skin feels just so bouncy and radiant after usage, the results speak for themselves. If you have any questions I’ll be more than happy to answer them!
Photo descriptions *disclaimer* still dealing with some slight redness from the re-introduction of retinol, the mask actually did a pretty good job at calming the skin as well!
