Reveal Fresh Clean Skin with Shills Black Peel Off Mask!

Plagued by blackheads, oily skin, congested pores, dead skin and breakouts? Try Shills Black Peel-Off Mask! This amazing mask sucks impurities out of pores and bonds to them – so when you pull off the mask, the gunk clogging your pores is whisked away!

It’s like a Biore Pore Strip for your entire face, and leaves you with a squeaky clean complexion.

 

Compares to:

Boscia’s Luminizing Black Mask

This is an excellent dupe for the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask. I have used both, and have found no discernable difference between the two except the cost. I purchased the Shills brand on Ebay for only $8.00 per 50 ml tube with free shipping.  The Boscia brand, I purchased at Sephora for $34 in a 75 ml tube. So, for just a slightly larger tube, the Boscia brand costs more than twice as much.

The only plus to the Boscia brand is that you can purchase it in most local beauty stores, whereas if you live anywhere besides China, Japan, or Taiwan, you will probably have to order the Shills brand online and wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive. After falling head over heels for this mask, I’ve gone back and ordered 4 more so I can be stocked up for the year! One tube will last for about 5 whole-face applications or 10 partial face applications. You can use the mask 1-2 times per week, or as needed.

 

  

 Application 

The Black Mask contains charcoal – which is highly effective at purifying the skin. It attracts blackheads like a magnet, and adheres to them. When the mask is peeled away, it takes the blackheads with it; leaving you with clean, empty pores.

Before applying the mask, use an exfoliating scrub and rinse with hot water to help open  pores. To ensure extra deep cleansing, hold your face 8 inches above boiled, steaming water for 5 minutes before exfoliating. This further opens pores and softens blackheads to get them ready for removal. After exfoliating, dry vigorously with a fluffy towel and immediately apply the mask.

 

1)      Apply the mask using your index finger, starting at the top of your T-Zone and working down over the nose, cheeks & chin. You can apply the mask to your entire face if needed, or just to the T-Zone or problem areas.  Avoid getting it on eyebrows, lips, eye lids and hair line.

 

** It is very important to use a semi-thick layer so that the mask is effective, and removal is easy. The black tint of the mask should cover enough so that NO skin is visible – but not so much that it’s dripping off your face.

 

2)      Allow the mask to dry completely (about 15-20 minutes).  As the mask dries, it will tighten, and you will be unable to do things like smile or eat while the mask is on.

 

3)  To remove, start at the chin and move upwards. Peel a bit of the mask away from    b    both corners – slowly & gently peel it up & off your face. You will feel a pulling s    sensation, and you will be able to see the debris being lifted out of pores.

 

4)  Wash your face with your regular scrub, and apply toner to cleanse the open pores.

Who should use the Shills Black Peel Off Mask?

Anyone with large pores, congested pores, thick skin, blackheads, whiteheads, acne, oily skin

 

Who should NOT use the Shills Black Peel Off Mask?

Anyone with very sensitive skin, thin skin, rosacea, allergies to charcoal, or those with chronically dry skin.

 

How does the Shills Black Mask compare to other Peel Off Masks?

Above and beyond! Not many peel-off masks are available, but among the few – this is by far the best. Previously I’ve used: Freeman’s Cucumber Mask, Superfruits Revealing Facial, and Queen Helene’s Grape Seed Mask.  None of these even came close to removing as many blackheads as the Shills brand.

 

Is there a way to make the Shills Black Mask work even better?

Yes! If you have thick, durable skin, you can use the Shills Peel Off Mask after using a deep cleansing clay mask, such as the Body Shop Ionic Clay Mask. Using the clay mask first draws out deeply imbedded toxins, allowing the Peel Off Mask to be even more effective. However, this is not recommended for sensitive skin types.

 

 Final Thoughts:

 I would highly recommend this mask to anyone with clogged pores. Every time I’ve used it, my skin has felt amazingly clean and fresh. Also, I’ve stayed breakout free since I started using it weekly. This mask gets an A+++ in my world of beauty products!

 

Shills makes numerous other masks as well – I am anxious to try the Whitening Mask, which is supposed to lighten imperfections and freckling while also clearing pores. You can check out the other Shills mask varieties at this website:  http://inspired-beauty.weebly.com/shills-facial-mask.html
