Needless to say I am a huge fan of #GlamGlow's range of #skincare and masks, so when they launched these 3 new "transforming" #charcoal cleansers I was more than excited.
....................................................................
First up, we have the 'Bubblesheet Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask'...
GlamGlow launched it's first ever #sheetmask, one that claims to dissolve dirt, build up and makeup for the ultimate #detox!
Typically sheet masks are created to offer intense #hydration rather than to remove #makeup or have cleansing properties but GlamGlow's Bubble sheet mask can be used on-top of makeup...I know you're a bit confused right? Traditionally #bubblemasks or sheet masks, in general are used after a freshly #cleansed face.
This sheet mask was formulated in #Korea, the first-of-its-kinda oxygenating cleansing sheet mask with #bamboo charcoal, green tea TEAOXI® and fresh #citrus infused into a bubbling cleanser.
After applying the sheet to damp skin the #masks oxygenating properties immediately kick in and the bubbling begins. The bubbling lather acts to remove dirt, #oil and makeup. After 3 mins, remove the mask and with the remaining #foam bubbles, gently cleanse your skin as you would with a normal cleanser.
My verdict :
To test out this product I removed half of my face #makeup and then applied the sheet mask to really test the effectiveness of the mask.
On the side of my face that I had removed my makeup prior to applying the sheet mask, felt amazing and did everything the mask promised to do. Making this #mask just as much fun as it was effective!
However on the side I hadn't removed my makeup, the sheet did let me down a tad bit. My face wasn't as clean as I would have hoped it to be but this could be due to the fact that I was wearing waterproof makeup which does take quite a few steps of cleansing to break down.
If you were to ask me if this was a good alternative to traditional makeup removers, I wouldn't recommend it especially if you use water-proof makeup. However if you used this sheet mask with day to day makeup it might just do what it promises to.
Overall the experience of applying a #bubble mask is always amazing and I would definitely suggest that if you haven't already experienced a bubble mask you definitely need to treat yourself to the bubbling sensation at least once.

Next, we have 'GlamGlow's GALACTIC-Cleanse'..
Sounds amazing already, right? This #hydrating jelly balm cleanser as you guessed contains bamboo charcoal, meteor powder and moon-flower oil to deeply clean your skin while holding in #moisture, leaving your skin #toned, soft and supple.
GlamGlow's Galactic Cleanse starts out as a soothing gel that you start by applying on dry skin(make sure your fingers are dry as well).After application you add warm water to turn the #jellybalm into a silky #milk cleanser.
My Verdict:
Choosing the correct #facial cleanser is essential for glowing, #healthy skin. Most #cleansers focus on removing oil, dirt and other impurities and may not focus on providing crucial #moisture and toning properties. That is why I absolutely adore this cleanser especially for those cold #winter months when moisture is the key to keeping your skin soft and #subtle. I definitely give this cleanser a thumbs up and highly recommend it for drier #skin types.

Lastly from the trio, we have 'GlamGlow's SuperCleanse'..
"A revolutionary Mud to Foam daily cleanser that changes color and transforms from mud into a gentle, effective foaming lather to dissolve oil, makeup and impurities."
#SuperCleanse is based on the top selling #SuperMud mask, which is the next step for problematic skin. With a blend of 3 charcoals to detoxify and remove #impurities. SuperCleanse is infused with TEAOXI Eucalyptus leaf, Mediterranean clay and a special blend of bamboo, Ubame wood and coconut charcoals.
To use squeeze a generous amount into hands, add water and vigorously rub together to create a #foaming lather, apply to face and massage over skin, then rinse off for squeaky clean, soft skin.
My verdict:
I add a little extra step into the cleansing process. After applying the cleanser to my face I let it sit for about a minute for a mini #facial mask session.
This cleanser definitely does have the same effect on your skin as the mask, deeply cleansed and clean it does exactly what is says it does.
If you have dry or #sensitive skin I would not suggest this cleanser for you as it might strip your skin of moisture. However if you have oily skin or problematic skin this is a definite must but be sure to follow up with a good moisturiser to balance your skins moisture levels. P.S this one works great with #water-proof makeup as well.
