Best Superfood Mask 2023 Review

This post is a review about the Superfood Mask.

Are you tired of traditional clay masks?

So was I...

In the past, whenever my skin felt congested and dull, I would throw a clay mask on which would usually do the trick.

The only problem was that most clay masks were tightening and over drying; which ended up aggravating my skin.

That's when I came across the Superfood Skin Reset Mask and decided to give it a try.

Keep reading if you're curious to know whether this mask should be your next purchase! 

The Superfood Mask is a vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free and dimethicone-free mask that balances and restores dull skin.

It contains the best superfood ingredients found on earth, kale, spinach, green tea, alfalfa and vitamins C, E and K.

First Impression

Youth To The People is a sustainable brand, the package is very minimalistic and simple so it’s obvious that it’s recyclable.

The Superfood Mask comes in a cylindrical shaped container with 59ml, since a little goes a long way you don’t need to use too much of the mask; it will last you quite some time.

It doesn't come with a skin care spatula so to avoid contamination, I recommend using reusable silicone skin care spatulas which help apply product evenly and are easy to clean.

The mask has a very strong peculiar smell, I can’t put my finger on it but it kind off smelled like pure rubbery clay; it's up to personal preference whether you like fragrance or not in your skin care products.

It soothed my irritated skin without drying it and left it balanced and restored; I’ve read that others have had, if not the same, a similar experience using this mask.

My Experience With The Superfood Mask

It’s really difficult to find a clay mask that doesn’t tighten up or dryout the skin but I was surprised that the superfood mask felt very creamy and smooth on my skin.

The Superfood Mask absorbed the extra sebum off my skin without tightening and over drying my skin leaving it feeling soft, balanced, restored and detoxified; it’s a very soothing and calming mask.

This mask is so creamy that it's easy to apply and remove making this mask an enjoyable experience.

The Disadvantages

The Superfood Mask has a few ingredients you may want to watch out. 

The mask contains pentylene glycol which according to the derm review, causes irritation to the eyes and skin.

It also contains ethylhexylglycerin which according to the derm review is a mild skin and eye irritant; important for sensitive skin types.

Phenoxyethanol is another ingredient found in this mask that has been accepted for use in cosmetics by the Food and Drug Administration.

However, in 1990 an expert panel from The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) deemed Phenoxyethanol as safe when used in concentrations of under 1%; it has also been known to cause allergic reactions.

Another ingredients to watch out is Potassium Sorbate which has been shown to be safe, however, when used in personal care products it may cause skin allergies.

Last but not least, it has natural fragrance which can be as toxic and allergenic as synthetic fragrances because they don't have  official regulation according to the IFRA (International Fragrance Association).

With that said, it's up to you whether you want to try the  Superfood Skin Reset Mask or not.

To avoid unnecessary irritations or allergies, read the ingredients list and check you're not allergic to any of the ingredients and patch test.

This mask didn't hydrate my skin at all, there are better options if you're looking for a mask to solely hydrate your skin.

I felt that the mask left my skin balanced and restored, however, I’ve read that some customers didn't really see any major difference from wearing this mask.

As for all the claims youth to the people has made about the mask, that's beyond me whether their true or false.

Why Should You Use The Superfood Mask?

You should use the superfood mask because it’s very gentle and doesn't tighten and over dry the skin.

When Should You Use The Superfood Mask?

You should use the superfood mask when your skin is congested and dull and needs to be balanced and restored; it can be used in the AM or PM.

How Should You Use The Superfood Mask?

After cleansing, apply an even layer of the superfood mask on clean dry skin with a skin care spatula to avoid contamination. 

Wait 15-20 minutes then gently rinse it off with warm water followed by a serum and moisturizer.

TIPS

• For a cool calming effect, keep the clay mask in the fridge.
• It dries up easily so do not leave the lid open after use.
  

Precautions Before Using The Superfood Mask

Precautions to take into consideration before using the Superfood Mask are:

• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Stop using if the skin becomes red, itchy, irritated or inflamed or swollen.
• Discontinue use if signs of irritation or allergies appear.

Final Thoughts

I like using the Superfood mask when my skin is feeling congested and dull because I find that my skin feels soothed, soft, balanced and restored afterwards. 

The mask is mess-free because it’s so creamy and smooth that it's easy to apply and remove.

It comes in a 59ml container which is good for the price because a little goes a long way, so it will last you quite some time.

There are claims online that the mask is hydrating, personally the mask didn't hydrate my skin at all; there are better options if you're looking for a mask to hydrate your skin.

It has countless beneficial ingredients, however, I’m not certain whether the superfood ingredients in the mask are in fact working. 

I recommend the Superfood mask if you're looking for a creamy and smooth clay mask that absorbs excess sebum without tightening and over drying the skin.
