chiahuib68-Facial Mask

Near the end of October, my Poreishi Mushroom Reishi Facial Masks arrived in the mail.  The very first thought that came to me was:  Great!  Right on time for Halloween.

Unlike usual facial masks, this facial mask is not white, not gray.  It’s BROWN -- Very brownish brown.

I hesitated for quite a while wondering if I should put this thing on my face, since it’s actually not a very lovely color.  Would it stain my face brown?

Finally, after a couple of days, I gathered up my courage and gave it a try.

Just like I imaged—I looked like an UngaBunga: somewhat an ugly version of an UngaBunga.  Of course my son got a good laugh from me wearing this mask.

Despite the not very pretty look, I actually like the feeling of this mask on my face.  It doesn’t have any perfume in it, and I like that a lot.  Reishi itself doesn’t have much smell.  It smells somewhat like wood, the good kind of wood, very pleasant.  

The mask has just the right amount of moisture in it, so it’s not messy at all when taking it out of package.   The material of the mask is different than other masks—it’s stiffer which makes it easier to handle.  I have very sensitive skin, and this mask did not irritate me even a bit.  Thank goodness!

I removed the mask after 20 minutes just like the directions said.  The residue rinsed off very easily, and I do feel my skin looks brighter and feels smoother.   No kidding!

Later, I read some more information about Reishi.   I found out that, actually, in ancient times people believed Reishi could prolong human life and that if you took enough you could even become immortal.   Ancient people believed whatever they liked to believe, but after the first try of this mask, I believe it’ll really do this anti-aging job well.

I’m thinking next time I’m going to wear it when taking a hot bath.  My face can probably soak in more nutrients with hot steam.  When I am done with my face, I’ll just drop the mask in the tub and… Voila!  It’s my body’s turn to enjoy Reishi.  

What a brilliant idea such a frugal wife comes up with to make the best use of this precious Reishi facial mask.  What can I say?  It’s Reishi power!
