Now I know I've already introduced a facial cleanser but there are tons of skincare products out there that can't go unnoticed. Starting with number six, a clean-up mask.

I turned to the ORIGINS clear improvement active charcoal mask this winter due to a current breakout and a low supply of masks that were available in my beauty closet at the moment. Of course I did a bit of research before purchasing since my skin is sensitive (don't worry!). I also noticed that this mask was usually up against GLAMGLOW muds when in comparison. However, both seemed to be worth a try but I figured I'd give ORIGINS my first shot since the price tag was about a third of GLAMGLOW's.

So far I haven't seen any drastic changes in my complexion but I am coming to love this mask for its qualities. Typically I start by opening up my pores with a warm towel and then layering on this beauty. I love the feeling when the mask dries up on my face after about a minute even though it leaves me looking a bit scary with its dark gray color. It definitely makes my pores very noticeable but after washing it all off it leaves my skin pretty soft. I'm hoping to see more changes with its use so I'll surely update you all soon.

At only $25 for a 3.4 oz tube I can say it's doing its job well especially since you only need to apply a thin layer which means more future masks for you. Maybe one day I will come to a decision to splurge on one of the GLAMGLOW muds to have my own comparison put to the test. In the mean time, unclog those pores!
