I’ve been debating whether or not to try this mask for a few months now and finally caved and picked one up at Yonge & Finch this weekend. How can you turn down something that looks this freaky and is called the Dr. Jart+ Moist Lover Rubber Mask???? I had houseguests. We took photos. It was a whole thing.

Ngl I was a little hoping this would be like a CareLab pudding mask or one of those ones that comes in a cup and turns rubbery as it dries, but as you can probably tell from the packaging this is actually a rubbery mask you put on over top of a first step.

To start, there’s a little tub with a mask inside. This is a milky-white coloured, barely translucent and very gelatinous goo. Yeah, that’s the technical term. Goo. I actually had trouble applying it because it was so jelly-like and some of it just fell right off my face and into the sink. Shrug life. 

Then you apply the ‘rubber’ mask, which is bright blue like the picture, but actually comes in two pieces, top and bottom. It feels like silicone, really, and super weird. 

While I waited, the blue mask felt cool to the touch but my face itself felt really warm. “Probably because it can’t breath,” my friend said unhelpfully. I left this on for a good 15 minutes , removed it, chucked the blue part, and then thoroughly washed my face before doing my normal skincare routine. 

This mask is like 10$ and super weird. I don’t actually know how I feel about it other than this is fun when you have guests sleeping over and also doing dumb masks.
