This face mask is formulated with white charcoal powder to draw out dirt and debris, sodium bicarbonate to absorb oil and glycerin to moisturize.

What I thought: This was my favorite of the bunch! I love how smooth my skin felt after using this — and my face looked glowing afterward. I also liked that the mask kept its gel-like consistency the entire time I was wearing it; it didn't harden, which can be uncomfortable and also make it difficult to remove.

What Greg thought: "The mask felt sticky — it felt like I had something on my face the entire time. I didn't want to take it off because I was too busy playing a video game. My skin felt clean when I washed it off."

While I don't think I completely succeeded in turning Greg into a skin care junkie, I'm glad that he's at least open to the possibility of cleansing and moisturizing a little more regularly. Plus, along the way, I found a few new must-haves to add to my own skin care routine. That's a win-win in my book.
