Does Montagne Jeunesse purify and dense your pores better than the black face mask?

    Montagne Jeunesse              Vs.                 Black face mask 

When shopping for face products you always tend to look for the products that will have a better outcome and can improve your skin in many ways such as removing blackheads, softer skin, and e.t.c. Me and my partner decided that we wanted to try something new and establish between the two different face mask which one will help purify and dense our pores. However, we tested this experiment because we're both so used to using the black face mask and we thought that if we try something new, we will learn something new. 

The Chemistry behind the Face Mask 

Montagne Jeunesse: Helps beautify your skin and hair! The Moroccan Argan Oil coupled with antioxidant rich Acai Berries. This power duo join forces in this face mask to deeply cleanse pores, balance oil levels and bring tired skin back to life.

Black face mask: Removes excess oils and help improve the appearance of your pores. 

Overall both of the masks contain three common ingredients; Aloe Vera, Charcoal, and Tea Tree, which we will explain how below.

Aloe Vera

It contains vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants. It also contains vitamin B12. Antioxidants protect the skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells. It can do a lot for the health and appearance of your skin, including reducing the signs of aging. Aloe vera has the property which can effectively lighten dark spots, hyper-pigmentation, and other skin blemishes.

Charcoal

Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne. Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances, which makes it a popular ingredient in facial masks.

Tea Tree 

The tea tree plant is highly prized by primitive Australian communities for its unique healing ability. Numerous indigenous communities along the east coast of Australia have a long historical use of tea tree as an antiseptic for skin conditions. They simply crushed the tea tree leaves and applied them to cuts, burns and infections.

Personal and Environmental Safety

According to Cosmopolitan, when using any home-made charcoal peel-off masks that contains  activated charcoal powder and superglue. Low warns of the dangers of using such a concoction on your skin. Superglue contains cyanoacrylate, which hardens very quickly When ripping off home-made charcoal mask, you may experience skin burn and run the risk of seriously damaging your skin.

Conclusion:

Overall, The Montagne Jeunesse kept our face feeling rejuvenated and fresh. It didn't dry out because we didn't over do our face. It worked really great on any type of skin since I have oily skin and my partner has really dry skin, so don't be afraid to try it out. It's very gentle even on the most sensitive of skin. Also, it is really affordable for the excellent job it does. As well as with the Black face mask,   this product has Charcoal which draws out impurities from the pores. It is also Perfect for oily and acne prone skin. We didn’t notice a difference immediately and still saw a few clogged pores around our nose area, but to be fair, my partner didn’t open her  pores with a warm towel first like directions say. Within the next day we noticed that our skin was much more smoother and definitely had a glow. Both of these products clearly showed how refreshing it makes your face feel, but the black face mask has a better outcome and kept our skins feeling moisturized. 

Proposed Improvement: 

We would recommend that if you're willing to try out the Montagne Jeunesse face mask that you stick with the ones that has less of a fragrance smell because sometimes the fumes can cause irritation with the skin and the eyes. Also, the black face mask says that it should be kept on for at least 15 minutes, me and my partner suggest that 10 minutes is perfect timing because after the mask hardens you start to feel a tight grip that will cause pain will peeling off the mask.
