Love at first cleanse: Glamglow Powermud

Use this mud-to-oil mask once and you’ll be hooked. Glamglow’s Powermud Dualcleanse Treatment leaves your skin softer and brighter after one use, which makes it a great S.O.S. for dull skin in need of a pick-me-up. It works well on any skin type and is a great first mask for anybody new to the Glamglow line. While other Glamglow products each target one specific need, Powermud combines a little bit of each to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize, leaving your skin feeling smooth and hydrated.

The first stage is a liquid-like mud mask that goes on in a thin, smooth layer and tightens as it dries. The dried mud texture converts to an oil when a small amount of water is applied. It’s not quite the same feeling as if you apply oil directly, but you will notice that its very different from the way a traditional mud mask feels after its been loosened with water. Typical clay masks can leave the skin feeling dry, but the extra boost of oil at the end gives Powermud a soft, moisturizing finish.

Powermud relies on a mix of botanicals to nourish and restore the skin. The mud has the slightest scent of apple and has a thinner texture than most mud masks. Glamglow is known for their proprietary mix of ingredients that have made each of their products multiple award-winners and Powermud is no exception. A little bit goes a long way and even occasional use will have visible results.  

How to use

Cleanse the face and apply Glamglow Powermud Dualcleanse Treatment. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Once the mask is completely dry, wet hands and gently massage in circular motions. As the dried mud comes into contact with the water, it transforms into an oil that cleanses and hydrates the skin. After massaging for a minute or two, rinse the face and use a washcloth to wipe away any excess.

What is inside the container is great, but Glamglow isn’t just about the product—they’re also all about the look! The packaging is bold, fun to open and the container has a great, pop sensibility to the design and a nice feel in the hand. The company is located in Hollywood and no Hollywood product would be complete without a full-blown Hollywood-produced film!
