Walking into the Rich store for the first time can be overwhelming, with its array of scents, colors, unique items, and enthusiastic sales assistants. It’s like a candy store for beauty enthusiasts. The first product I ever purchased and continue to buy repeatedly is Mask of Magnaminty, which I fondly refer to as MOM.
Originally, I had oily and acne-prone skin. While the oiliness has subsided, acne still pays occasional visits. I experience periods when breakouts occur, followed by months of clear skin. This is why I always like to have MOM on hand for when my skin needs extra care.
Although Mask of Magnaminty can also be used as a back mask for acne-prone areas, I have only applied it to my face. It comes in round plastic containers in two sizes, and I prefer the smaller one as it lasts a long time. I always keep it refrigerated, not only for preservation but also for the refreshing feeling it provides when applied cold to the skin. This cooling effect is especially delightful during hot summer days.
The texture of Mask of Magnaminty is thick and creamy, with chunky particles that gently exfoliate the skin. It is mild and non-irritating, offering a soothing effect rather than harsh exfoliation. It helps reduce redness from previous breakouts, improves overall skin appearance, imparts a healthy glow, and makes pores appear cleaner. I typically use it once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. Individuals with oily or very oily skin and severe acne may benefit from using it more frequently, but moderation is key.
I leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. It washes off easily and leaves the skin feeling soft and fresh. Afterward, you can follow up with your regular serum or moisturizer.
Lastly, there are charming labels on the packaging indicating the creator and production date, along with an expiration date. While I don’t pay much attention to the expiration date and have used it past that point with no issues, it’s essential to discard the product if there are any changes in appearance, scent, or texture.
If you’re a fan of luxurious skincare products, I’m certain you’ve tried Mask of Magnaminty. It’s one of my favorite products from Rich, alongside Delicious Chocolate Whipstick, Brazened, and The Olive Branch. I look forward to reviewing more of their offerings in the future.
