[@ssmccful]

that night wrapping mask thing looks like it might be great in the winter

[@cschowesther]

So glad medipeel collagen mask is finally talked about! It’s more popular here in Asia, I love that after you peel off it leaves a rather nice sheen and a filtered smooth effect on the skin ✨ Personally think medicube is too hyped up especially in the West.

I use the Biodance when I have a migraine. I get dehydrated so fast but the coolness is what I enjoy. If my skin is cooled down.. I use it and lay down. But I agree.. my full skincare gives me the same look and will also make me red if I overuse.

[@Beautybites_byFen]

The Biodance mask actually made my pores seem smaller, and my skin tone more even! I also did a review on it and was surprised by the results. The effects lasted 1 day for me. Now I have to try the medicube one!

My BoJ mask had very big rice granules 🤔 in pictures and everyone else's videos it looks like its a lot more finely ground. Having said that, I still love and enjoy using it. My skin is so hydrated afterwards.

I am not a back sleeper and do not have 4hrs to commit, so the 15 minute Medicube mask I'd be willing to try. And yes, the thumbnail is insane 😂😂

[@123LunarMoon]

I’ve been using the Biodance Collagen Mask for over a year. I do agree that you can get the same results with a good moisturizing night routine, however, these have been life savers for nights after a long rough day where I just want to wash my face skip out on a face routines and knock out. 😅

[@carlynicole424]

Lactobacillis is a bacteria often found in milks, among other things. It looks like it's pretty good for your skin barrier, especially when it's fermented 😊 No worries about infections or anything, I'm sure it's inert.

[@Ida-Adriana]

What’s the point of its addition, if it’s inert 😂

[@carlynicole424]

@Ida-Adriana The components are still good for you, it's just not alive. So it won't grow and multiply.

[@Brina21232]

I like using the Biodance masks with the VT Reedle Shot 300 & 700 essence. I don't sleep in it. I only keep it on for 3 or 4 hours but I find it calms down the feeling of the reedles on my face & it hydrates my face as well. I prefer the Hydro Cera-Nol Real Deep Mask over the collagen one since that one dries quicker & hydrates my skin more. I did try sleeping with it once & honestly felt no benefits from it. It didn't come off my face, maybe because I let it dry down before I went to bed, but my face didn't feel any different. Plus, it left marks in my skin lol.

[@sugarfree_2023]

I love biodance collagen mask. If you have dry skin, it is a must have before flights. But sleeping with it impossible. Just leave it for 3 hours is pretty enough

[@zaidmoges374]

Wonderfully informative video!!! Thank you! I will check out the medicube collagen mask as well as other products on your list as alternatives. I already just got the Medi-Peel red lacto collagen mask, excited to try...got it on a major discount. Cheers!

I don’t like sleeping in them. I just put on in the early evening and take off. I also like the reedle shot modeling masks. I use Centella pads to wipe the pesky area away. They feel so nice as well.

[@quinlantaylor04]

Masks are good for a short term boosts like before events or something but like you said they’re not going to replace a good skincare routine. Plus they’re less cost effective and more wasteful than a regular routine. I like to use a clay mask then a sheet or a peel off mask afterwards for facial on a budget glow.

[@lorainehayes]

The most important lesson I feel I've learned about skincare is: the simpler the better. Use what your skin actually needs, the rest is just white noise. Figuring out what your skin needs is the hard part.

[@ilidawg20]

"Verticle pores" are pores that are sagging slightly so they appear larger vertically on the skin. In other words, it's just another fancy way to say "large pores". Products that claim to help with verticle pores are just claiming that they can help reduce the size of pores

[@isileroglu]

What they mean by vertical pores is the pores sag and go vertical over time which k-beauty is pretty obsessed with making them look not just small but also not as vertical.

[@sasslexis0126]

lol I tried a peeling mask on my under eyes after years of not using them, I have mature skin and my eye bags just kept stretching and stretching and I stopped immediately & wont touch em again!

[@Ida-Adriana]

I’m pretty sure they say to avoid the eye area 🤔

[@leafyliz3610]

I’ve seen it said that vertical pores (which visibly stretch more up and down) are more to do with aging and horizontal pores (which visibly stretch side to side) are more to do with acne

[@johnb4905]

Whew! When I saw Orencia on your list I thought I might have to cancel my order but it sounds like you’re okay with it. Thayer is the latest cleanser going in the trash. It started out okay but eventually my skin ended up looking like it has been scraped.

[@virginiadare1587]

How do people keep silicone or sheet masks on overnight? I move around so much that any mask would end up crumpled up on my bed with my dog trying to eat it. I haven't tried to use the AprilSkin Pink Aloe. I've liked it as a cleanser. I have combination skin, a bit of rosacea & am a 48 year old woman. My skin hasn't changed much since my 30s (my mom was a super pale 75% Irish, 25% Swedish redhead, so sunblock was always a thing for me.). Maybe it's because I don't leave it on for longer than a regular cleanser.

[@QueenXKnit]

Vertical pores refers to pores that are sagging due to aging process. They are usually located around the nose. You dont have them James because yoûre young and your skin is in top shape, thats why it does not ring a bell to u.😅

James, can you advise about overnight masks. If you DO decide to try them overnight, do you still wake up, remove and wash your face? Or is your face meant to “not be washed” after using them?

[@TinaLee2042]

Which would you recommend for a long haul overnight flight, since I can’t sleep on planes anyway??

[@JamesWelsh]

I would do all your usual skincare before getting on a flight and the slug over the top! I like to use a bit of Vaseline and that keeps everything locked in tight whilst you are on the flight!

[@Angelicax8]

I only tried the Biodance during a long-haul flight. I have rosacea and I had the same as you, my skin hated it!!! I was very red. It is not a good one for sensitive skin.

[@emialio8565]

tried biodance once, it felt good on my face on the first half hour, but my body didn't like it and my hand and feet started turning cold.😂😂 it's too cold I have to take it out before 3 hours. I was almost shivering (you know, like some women can easily feel cold. I guess our body heat doesn't regulate well).

[@moonbyeol9130]

I tried the blue Biodance mask and my mom tried the pink one. I really liked that it stuck to the face well. I went to sleep with it (for 4h only, but I wore it for almost 3 before going to sleep) and it wasn’t really that uncomfortable. The results tho were underwhelming, I get the same results with my regular skin care. My mom had to take hers off after 2h because it was already dry and pilling off. 😂 The Medi-peel mask is waiting in my stash for months now. I kinda don’t see a place for it in my regimen. Might try to use it in the evening, because I don’t feel like picking up pieces of it during the day. I’ve ordered Fully clay mask to cleanser, waiting for it’s arrival. My hopes are high, I need good pore care product and so far nothing really works. 😭 Didn’t try the modeling masks yet, I’ve VT’s cica ones in my stash waiting. I’m hesitant to try it because of the mess. Will try to use it over a sheet mask to imitate this gauze method, hope it will work decently. I need more deinfluencing videos like this from you, but way earlier. Before I buy a ton of products 😂

[@nicolabaker4391]

The Modelling mask might not work on a sheet mask for 2 reasons. 1 The material weave on a sheet mask is close knit which might not allow the ingredients to penetrate. 2 Àpplying a modelling mask which needs to dry over a soaking wet sheet will be extra messy and the extra moisture will inhibit the modelling mask from drying. Gauze is very inexpensive and can be bought in the First Aid section in sheets or a roll. Have fun xxx

When I first heard of medicube I was kinda iffy. They seemed really suspicious. That was like 6 years ago. Since then they’ve become my go-to brand. I have sensitive skin and eczema, and I RARELY have any issues with their products. And my skin looks amazing.

[@idiotically-everything]

You know, I don't even use skincare products other than soap and a moisturizer.

Yes worst nights sleep with the BioDance. It looked nice in the morning but it wasn't worth being so uncomfortable all night. Maybe wearing during the day before a night event (if you're home obviously) it would be worth it? That'd what I'm going to do with the rest of my pack.

[@dinasilva9263]

[@littlenekosparkles181]

Can you compare the collagen wrapping mask vs a cheaper peel off mask? I love it, but it is so fucking expensive for me. Specifically I am wondering how it will perform as a last step nighttime skincare routine product- I use the collagen wrapping mask as a barrier between me and my pillow because I move around a whole lot and actually want to keep in my skincare and keep out potential bacteria.

[@AKbaby89]

Im so annoyed by these ads I always get for the "viral collagen mask" that is supposed to give you crazy glowy, plump results. I got mine from coco beauty I think it was called, and immediately they were WAY smaller than the videos I've seen, and they didn't cover my whole face at all (it only covered like half of my forehead, and I dont have a big face). They also went clear super fast, and were so dried up within like 2-3 hours, it actually was uncomfortable to remove, it felt like removing a band aid. My skin has literally never felt so dry before, it was uncomfortable, I even had lines on my face where the masks were. I do not understand how anyone could ever leave it on overnight, and I also cannot comprehend how anyone could ever get ANY moisture from that, much less plumping and SUPER glowy results. I got 4 masks, and every one did the same thing. I get annoyed whenever I see ads for it now, especially because the ads are always the same, but they never say what the brand is called or what the product is called, and i get the ads from multiple brands. *edit* yours is way bigger than mine was, and I didnt get it from that brand. But I still hated it😂
