hello hi everyone welcome to skincare
with higher if you don't know who I am
my name is Hiram and I'm passionate
about teaching you how to perfect your
skincare routines to make sure you
subscribe to my channel and to the
notification bell so that you can see my
videos every single week you guys have
started this new workout program that
requires 100 pushups a day and I think
it sucked all the humor out of me I know
you're thinking higher my humor but I
just it just it's taking all the energy
out of me and no amount of coffee is
helping and it's really frustrating me
normally coffee is my saving grace but
how the [ __ ] am I supposed to be funny
if I can't even lift my arms higher then
up here oh I'm not meant to be active
today's video is one that is so long
overdue I don't even know how like what
why haven't I posted this before I
always look through you guys's requests
and I've seen a lot of you guys asking
me for a face masks video and I'm like
oh I've done a lot of face mask videos I
don't really need to do one until I was
looking through my previous videos and
I've realized I've never done a
dedicated face mask video before I
realized that and I was like sorry blue
dust mine eyes deceived me for real I
was like how the [ __ ] do I have a
skincare channel and I haven't made a
face mask video before like doesn't that
go against the laws of the universe or
something I swear so I figured since I
haven't done this one before why not
start off with a bang the best face mask
of all time my favorite ones that I've
ever used the ones that will always
bring the results every single time ones
that I can count on in a moment of need
now here's my approach to face masks I
think face masks are great but I tend to
overlook them a lot because I don't
consider them to be a necessary part of
a skincare routine they're amazing they
can deliver really good results but
they're not something that I use really
frequently or I feel the need to use
really frequently because in my opinion
the perfect skincare routine already
takes care of all the problems that
you're facing to where you don't even
need a face mask and it's funny because
as I was going through some of my
favorite face masks I started to realize
I never really use these anymore because
there's really just no need when you
have a rock-solid skincare routine
figured out but I know that's not the
case for everyone and face masks are so
much fun because they're just the time
that you can just focus on yourself
Meeta but for real they're like a
therapeutic spa-like experience kind of
treat yourself sort of feeling and they
deliver really good instantaneous
results which from time to time can be
very fun but I won't get too deep into
my philosophy regarding face masks if
you guys do want a video about that I'm
happy to go into detail there because I
may have some opinions that go against
Papa
culture but I mean hey what's new
welcome to my channel let's get into it
I'm gonna be organizing these products
by category depending on what type of
face mask that they are and all the face
masks that I'm talking about in today's
video will be linked in the description
box below if you guys do feel like
purchasing any of these feel free to use
those links I make a small Commission
that helps to support me and my channel
and I would really appreciate it if you
do feel like purchasing anything but no
pressure whatsoever as always they're
just there as a resource thanks guys so
let's start with hydrating soothing face
masks these are great masks for just
making sure that your skin is moisturize
you feel plump hydrated and soft
afterwards your skin is soothe the
redness is taken away just ones that
help to really reset your skin and
condition it and just you know help give
it a little pat on the back and we start
with my favorite face mask of all time I
am 100% confident saying this this is
the one face mask that I've talked about
in so many videos on my channel the
Peter Thomas Roth cucumber gel mask this
mask oh my god I am constantly
recommending it to people because it is
amazing you know how people are like oh
my god this face masks like transformed
my face in like ten minutes and you're
like sure Linda we all know it's just a
sieve oh this one I have used on so many
clients in the past because here in
Hawaii and one of the main problems is
that people tend to get sunburned really
easily they come from California and
they're like moscone can handle the
California Sun and then they go out into
the Sun they realize Oh Hawaii Sun is
not like California Sun and they get
burnt to a crisp and for my friends and
clients this was the face mask that I
would always recommend whenever I did
use it on them their skin in 15 minutes
literally the redness would fade by like
five shades and every single time they'd
always be like holy [ __ ] what is this
face mask it is so good as far as the
ingredients the third ingredient is
cucumber extract which is a good
ingredient for soothing redness and
sensitivity and just overall hydrating
the face without it feeling heavy
it also has papaya and pineapple extract
both of which can have some mild
exfoliating abilities now I'll be honest
the ingredient list isn't one that upon
initially seeing it you're like wow this
product is incredible I need to buy it
now it just looks like an okay
ingredient list but once you use it I
mean man that is truly what makes the
crazy difference the only thing I don't
like about it is that it does have
orange and lemon extracts however it's a
wash off treatment you only leave it on
your face for 10 to 15 minutes before
rinsing it off and with the incredible
results I don't see it as problematic
whenever I have an allergic reaction to
a skincare product I always go in with
this one and the results are the same
every single time it just reduces the
redness sensitivity I highly recommend
to anyone honestly but specifically
people who struggle with a lot of sun
exposure sensitivity redness irritation
reactions from skin care products and
because of how big it is this thing
lasts forever
I just cannot sing enough praises to
this facemask next up we have a recent
find the I'm from mugwort mask now this
one I only discovered in the past month
and I instantly became a really big fan
of it now the brand I'm from is a Korean
skincare brand that's known for their
really really high quality formulas and
they are one of those brands that from
time to time will formulate with some
fragrance and I'm like but then I look
at the ingredient list of all their
products and I'm just like wow they
truly know how to just incorporate the
best of the best ingredients into a
formula and have all of their good
ingredients at crazy high concentrations
it's just a brand that represents the
best of the best skincare and this mask
has an ingredient called mugwort which
is known for reducing sensitivity and
redness within the skin it's a recent
find for me and one that I've actually
really been enjoying because I have seen
good results in my skin for reducing
redness and irritation
Marguerite's the fourth ingredient but
it also has glycerin a lot of good anti
oxidant root extracts licorice root
extract which is going to reduce redness
and sensitivity Santelli Asiatic hell
one of my favorite ingredients for
reducing redness and irritation and it
also has some very very very mild
natural exfoliants in it nothing that's
off-putting though because when I first
put it on my skin I was like oh my gosh
is this gonna scrub my skin into
oblivion but it's actually very gentle
and does feel nice on the skin I think
it's one of those masks that's good for
at the end of the day when you've seen
some sun exposure your skin's feeling a
little irritated or you just feel like
you want to soothe your skin down a
little bit it's definitely a good one to
go in with the texture is straight-up
weird I'm just gonna say it right now it
is a very very weird texture I put it on
my skin and I was like wow I look like
I've rolled through cow [ __ ] and hey and
I can say that because I grew up on a
ranch so I know what that stuff looks
like but the results are honestly so
good and I understand why this is such a
high product just a really good mask
also super high quality glass packaging
that I'm definitely gonna be reusing it
once I'm finished with this bottle very
very good next up is the Korres hydro
biome yogurt probiotic face mask this
one is also a relatively recent find I'd
say within the past three months I've
come to really enjoy this product now
Korres is a brand that I want to love so
much but I have a hard time really
loving because of how much fragrance
they formulate their products with I
love Korres because they really
how to source all of their ingredients
from their own individual farms in
Greece which is really important for
transparency and sustainability purposes
and in terms of the quality of their
ingredients they're very high quality
ingredients but they tend to just
formulate with so much fragrance and a
lot of irritating ingredients in their
products that I'm not a fan overall but
this face mask once I saw that it came
out I immediately was attracted to it
the second ingredient is yogurt now
yogurt is really good for the skin
because not only is it going to help to
reduce redness and sensitivity but it
also has lactic acid content which is
going to help to exfoliate the face and
it's very high in its probiotic count
now probiotics can be good for the skin
in terms of reducing redness and
irritation but also just hydrating
plumping and could potentially help with
reducing types of fungal acne in the
skin now that's not how to percent
promise there's no substantial research
showing that but it is promising and I
do like it when I see probiotics in skin
care products so long as they're not
like a ridiculously high price point
this is also formulated with squalene
are really hydrating and moisturizing
agents as well as apricot kernel oil so
many other hydrating oils good
antioxidant ingredients and sodium
hollering a concentrated form of
hyaluronic acid I personally love this
mask because every time I use it my skin
feels so soft and hydrated and plump
afterwards it's not anything crazy
transformative but honestly that's
something that I want after I use a
hydrating face mask I don't want my skin
to feel greasy or sticky I want it to
feel just soft plumped and hydrated and
this one delivers on that plus I'm glad
they came out with this mask because
overall as a company I really like their
ethics and their standards and how high
quality ingredients they use and this is
finally an excuse for me to support the
company but overall just really good
face mask next up is the first day
Beauty ultra Repair instant oatmeal
masque I've talked about this one before
in multiple videos about dry skin and
people with eczema but this one has a
crazy high concentration I'm talking the
second ingredient is colloidal oatmeal
now colloidal oatmeal has been used for
a long time to soothe extreme dryness
flakiness egg Zima and other skins
concerns and in my opinion is one of the
best skincare ingredients out there I
like this one because it's a great way
of getting really good hydration but not
leaving it on your skin for too long
that you feel like your skin is
suffocating I know a lot of people who
do struggle with eczema or just extreme
dry skin sometimes also don't want to
feel like they have AG layer of grease
on the surface of their skin and this
mask just gives a good instant boost of
hydration
it has a long list of hydrating
ingredients as well as good antioxidants
centella asiatica green tea which is
gonna sue the redness plethora of
hydrating oils and it's fragrance free
anyone who has really sensitive dry skin
I always point them to this mask because
it's just a good one it has really high
reviews and honestly you can just count
on first aid beauty to have really
stellar products and then finally within
this category we have another mask from
I'm from their honey mask this one I
discovered about five months ago I am a
fan this I saw was so hyped on Instagram
so many people were posting about it all
the time and I was like really a honey
mask like why don't you just use honey
but after I received this from I'm from
I understand the hype this is formulated
with 39% honey so you're getting a crazy
high concentration as well as a high
concentration of macadamia nut oil which
is gonna nourish and soften the skin
honey is known for being a great skin
soothing agent but also really good for
moisturizing and plumping the skin and
there's also a lot of really incredible
potential other benefits from honey it's
just an ingredient that when you see in
a skincare product you know it's gonna
deliver good results I'm a huge fan of
honey and I honestly don't know why it's
not formulated and more skincare
products because of how many good
benefits there are it also has shea
butter jojoba oil one of my favorite
oils for nourishing the skin but also
reducing oiliness it has snail secretion
another ingredient that's amazing for
hydrating and plumping the skin it has
mugwort the same ingredient as their
other masks
beta glucan an incredible ingredient for
nourishing hydrating and softening the
face honestly you can usually only find
in Korean skincare products but it's
just an incredible ingredient and bee
venom an ingredient pretty much solely
found in Korean skincare products but
could have a lot of potential benefits
for reducing sensitivity and irritation
within the face it does have grapefruit
and eucalyptus extract but again it's in
a mask it's washed off treatment I don't
find that problematic what really sold
me for this product was the experience
I'm normally not a person for smell and
textures but it literally just smells
like this incredible honey dessert which
is amazing considering that this isn't
formulated with fragrance beyond
grapefruit and eucalyptus extract it's
just you can definitely tell this has a
crazy high concentration of honey I just
the smell is incredible and when you put
it on your skin it does feel like you're
putting honey on your skin but it's not
as sticky and gross it feels more like a
mask but as soon as I remove this from
my face oh my gosh
you guys my skin feels so so soft and I
actually needed it because at the time I
was traveling I was going to the
mainland where it was really dry my skin
struggles with dryness and Exuma when
I'm in dry climates and as soon as I
used this one it was almost like I had
new skin like my skin just felt so soft
and hydrated I instantly knew why people
loved this mask and it became a favor of
mine wow I didn't know that category was
so long but moving on to the next
category which is exfoliating face mask
and I only have two first up and this
will come as no surprise to you guys the
ordinary aaj BH a solution this one is
awesome I've talked about it in so many
of my videos before I love this product
because it literally makes you feel like
you have new skin when you use this
product for ten minutes you will wash it
off and you're like wow where did all of
my dead skin go why is my skin so glowy
why does it look amazing it's definitely
the most powerful face mask in this
video which is why I hesitate to say
it's my favorite face mask because I get
a little bit nervous about how strong is
this is formulated with 30% alpha
hydroxy acids which are gonna bulldoze
the dead skin cells off of your face and
that's one of the highest concentrations
that I've ever seen in the skincare
product as well as 2% beta hydroxy acid
or salicylic acid which is gonna go deep
into your pores and push out all the
dead skin cells and excess oil and sebum
the reason I like this one is because
it's very simple but very effective it
just gives you what you need no fancy
frills no extras it does the job and I
tend to use this about once a month -
once every two weeks now you can use
this once a week but I'd say that's the
maximum you can use them and that's why
it isn't my favorite face mask because
as opposed to the Peter Thomas Roth face
mask you can use that one literally all
the time every day if you want to it's
incredible but this one you can only use
the maximum amount and if you use this
mask you apps a [ __ ] lutely have to
wear a sunscreen that is a must you have
to wear a sunscreen if you use this
product because that's how powerful is I
won't delve into this one too much this
one's been poppin off online lately you
likely know this mask and why it's so
good and then the other exfoliating face
mask is the herbivore blue tanzy mask
now herbivore is a brand that I want to
love with my whole heart but I'll be a
hundred percent honest they use a crazy
high concentration of essential oils and
this is a product that I will gladly
admit is a hypocritical product on one
of my guilty purchases I have purchased
this mask so many times it's not even
funny and every time I use it I
just like wow this is incredible as far
as the ingredients the first ingredient
is aloe vera juice that has glycerin it
has white willow bark which is a natural
form of beta hydroxy acid or salicylic
acid and actually an incredible
ingredient I am really a fan of it
because you're getting the salicylic
acid treatment but in a much more gentle
form
it also has papaya extract and pineapple
extract both of which are gonna
exfoliate the face as well as radish
root ferment the only thing I don't like
about this is the blue tansy that they
use now blue tansy is technically
considered an essential oil but I will
say I do like blue tansy for my skin
because it reduces my redness so much
and the reason why I come back to this
mask over and over and over again is
because not only does it work so well
just to get rid of all the dead skin
cells on my face like my skin looks so
glowy happy and healthy but in a way
that's a little bit more comforting than
this one because as much as I love this
one sometimes I worry about over
exfoliating my face and I never have to
worry about that with this one but also
this is the only exfoliating mask that
when I take it off my skin my skin looks
less red typically when it comes to
exfoliating mask your skin is gonna look
red afterwards you're gonna want to wait
for the redness and sensitivity to just
go away because you're literally
bulldozing the dead skin cells off it
for your face of course your skin is
gonna look red but this one just reduces
it so well and my skin feels so nice
afterwards so as much as it is kind of a
contradiction to a lot of what I say on
my channel this is one of those guilty
pleasure products that I just can't help
but love I rarely repurchase products
because I have to try so many new ones
for you guys but I stand by it so hard
it's so good and the glass packaging is
so high-quality it's definitely one that
I'm like oh I want to reuse that for so
many things actually as I'm going
through these masks I'm realizing that
nearly all of them are glass way to go
higher I'm environmentally sustainable
and then the final category which is
clay masks clay masks are arguably some
of the most popular face masks on the
market and typically ones that I really
struggle to find good options for
because most clay masks in my opinion
are very very stripping to the face and
can just throw off your moisture barrier
and can be really harsh but I've managed
to find a few that I am a fan of the
first is another recent find it is the
faux lame dual detox mask now I actually
got to meet the founder of fo lane when
I was doing some videos with bio sauce
and she is incredible I really just
think she's an awesome human being but
she actually was kind enough to give me
her whole
and I've been trying some of the
products most of them don't work for me
but I love this one this one has four
different types of clays which is
incredible but the most amazing thing
about it is that it doesn't leave your
skin feeling dry dehydrated and stripped
which is typically what happens with
most clay masks and I also think this
mask is a good merge of clay and
exfoliating mask because it's also
formulated with lactic acid glycolic
acid and salicylic acid but again it's
not super strong that you feel like it's
really overly sensitizing your skin it
also has a lot of really good fruit
extracts and hydrating oils as well as
ginger root extract a very high quality
antioxidant ingredient I'm a fan of this
one because I looked at the ingredient
list and I was like wow that is
impressive but it looks like it's gonna
be super harsh and a really intense mask
but on the contrary it wasn't all it
applies on the skin very nicely
it doesn't overly strip your skin it
doesn't burn it doesn't sting when you
wash off you notice good results but
it's not anything crazy transformative
that would make you worry about wrecking
your moisture barrier or over
sensitizing or over exfoliating your
skin and in my opinion out of all the
masks that I've mentioned in this video
probably the best bang for your buck
because it includes so many ingredients
found in the other face masks all in one
product I'm really happy I found this
one actually next is the clear
improvements face masks by origins I've
talked about this one multiple times but
I haven't repurchased it after I ran out
of my first two because I've just been
trying a bunch of new clay masks this
one is probably the only product I like
from origins and I like it because it
has 3 different types of clays clays are
really amazing for drying out excess oil
and sebum in the skin and impurities and
really just making you feel like your
skin is overall just really clean and
are particularly attractive to people
who have combination or oily skin it
does have charcoal which can be
sensitizing to the skin but it's
formulated at a lower concentration than
all the other clays and I don't find it
worrisome I like this mask because it's
very simple but effective it gives you
the clay mask experience that you want
without any frills without any fanciness
and it's fragrance free it's just one of
those masks that's really easy to find
at most Sephora's Macy's Ulta that you
can just count on to give you the
results that you want and then finally
the al Jeunesse probiotic balancing mask
I really like this clay mask because
it's probably the most hydrating clay
mask that I've ever found now this one
like the others has three different
types of clays but the first ingredient
is glycerin and it has profanity on both
of those in
are gonna be really moisturizing and
hydrating to the face and ensure that
your skins moisture barrier isn't
wrecked after using this clay mask it
has a lot of different ferments all of
which have a bunch of really different
benefits but overall they're really good
for nourishing hydrating and softening
the skin as well as helping to prevent
against bacteria buildup on the surface
of your skin and it has a lot of really
soothing plant extracts this one is a
little bit more on the luxury side but I
love it because it's very gentle but
effective I can count on this one to
give me my clay mask experience without
having to worry about overly stripping
my skin and on the flip side actually
really really hydrating it you don't
have to use very much and in terms of
ingredients I just think it's a very
high quality product and definitely one
that I found myself turning back to over
and over and over again more so than
other clay masks that I've used wow that
took a lot longer than I thought I don't
know why and it's super freaking hot
I am dripping in sweat but I hope you
guys liked all these faces in our sermon
Dacians I am so sorry it took me so damn
long to do that like Jesus Hyrum get it
together but I honestly can stand behind
all of these recommendations and I
really hope that if you guys are looking
