Let's be honest, removing acne and blackheads can be such a chore! I know that a lot of us would rather pop or break them just to get rid of them quickly, but that causes scarring. I bet you even tried some of the best facial scrubs and pore strips that companies like Neutrogena and Biore have to offer. You have literally tried everything and spent more money than you probably do on groceries and new shoes.
Over the last month, you’ve probably noticed a stream of videos all over social media featuring women who look like they’ve used makeup or a buffer to make their skins smooth and blemish free. This particular product seemed to be the product that everyone was looking for. It was known as the "Shills Black Peel-Off Face Mask." That's right; the now ubiquitous black face mask is the latest craze in beauty blogging with one blogger’s video review being watched over 23 million times.

This product is supposed to literally peel and lift all the impurities that are deep in your pores and even make your skin smoother. I’m usually fairly immune to the powers of advertising and unwilling to jump on a passing bandwagon unless I can come up with a better reason than “just because.” But a few weeks ago I saw an ad for this product on my Facebook feed and the next thing you know, I was entering my credit card details.
I tried it out for myself and you know what...it actually was worth the money! My skin was so much smoother and it picked up a lot of my blackheads! Who knew a simple face mask that went viral would work its magic on a person like me!
Still don't believe me? Then maybe these cool facts about this product will change your mind.
So why is this particular product worth your time and money:
1. It's actually inexpensive
Believe it or not, this product is cheaper than you think it is. You'd probably assume that this product cost about $40. No. It cost somewhere between $5-$15 depending on what website you purchase it from. I got mine for about $12 from the Shills online store.
2. So easy to use
It really is easy! All you have to do is apply a thick, opaque, even layer to clean, dry skin. Make sure you avoid your eyes, eyebrows, lips, and hairline. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes (or until it's completely dry) and then peel. No extra work has to be done.
3. Leaves your skin smooth
I wear makeup and use lotion to make sure my skin feels smooth. But this stuff makes my skin feel so smooth! As you peel the mask off, it lifts away any blackheads and impurities that were left on your face and in minutes your face will look clearer than it was before. Your complexion will be brighter and your pores will shrink thanks to this mask!
4. Not as painful as you think
It doesn't hurt at all. Don't quickly rip it like a band-aid. Simply just slowly peel the mask so that it can pick up the blackheads with ease. Unless you have sensitive skin, low pain tolerance, or allergic to the material, it shouldn't hurt.
5. You don't need to use it as much
While washing your face daily is necessary, you don't have to use the face mask as much. It is recommended that you use it at most 2 times a week. Besides, the tube is small as it is so use it wisely.
Take it from someone who used it first-hand. While I was skeptical at first, the product actually worked in my favor. It's one of the greatest products ever made! Seriously. It covered areas where I had blackheads that I could not get rid of with strips or blackhead remover. My skin did feel smoother upon peeling the mask and it's actually satisfying to look in the mirror knowing I have less blemishes to panic about.
Overall, this is definitely a product worth looking into if you struggle with acne and blackheads like myself. It's totally worth it!
