like it/love it/gotta have it: glam glow

if you've been in the beauty world for a hot minute, then the glam glow line is no stranger. they have a variety of masks that will suit any and everyone's skin care issues, each with a different type of mud to target your needs; exfoliation (try youthmud tinglexfoliate treatment), purification (the supermud clearing treatment- their claim to fame) or hydration (thirstymud hydrating treatment). my favorite trick with masks? I used a bit of each one to target the different problems in each area of my skin- exfoliation for my forehead and purification for my nose and and chin. perfect mask for my specific skin every time.

I like this mask, I really like it. but my super sensitive skin can only do with so much exfoliation. I bust this out when I have drier patches of skin (the dry air in LA and weekends in vegas do not help) and it works perfectly at slogging off dead skin. 

when I reach for this mask, my skin is having some serious hydration issues. usually after a bit too much time in the sun (I know, I know) or after/during a long flight. after a day at the beach it feels cool and soothing (even better if you pop it in the fridge), and is my best friend on a red eye flight when the moisture in the air goes to 0% (goes on and dries clear so no one will even know!). may or may not have used it as an intensive moisture treatment all week after spending the fourth in Malibu and leaving just a wee bit pink, and it saved me from a dreaded sunburn (and subsequent snake-ish shedding) #blessed

this mask is their claim to fame for a reason. nothing works like it at getting gunk out of your pores, and leaving everything feeling tight and clean. it satisfies my inner esthetician since it dries down to a light green and stays dark in the areas with the most gunk- I love seeing a product really working. I have used it all over my entire face before, but I definitely prefer it for more targeted areas (nose and chin) and spot treatments. If I feel a blemish coming, I will sleep with a dab of this and it calms the spot.

have you tried any of the glam glow line? which mask would target your specific problem area?
