Against blackheads & pimples
Green Mask Stick: What’s up with the social media hype?
Social media is flooded with videos in which influencers use a green mask stick and their pimples miraculously disappear. Is this possible?
A Green Mask Stick is a face mask with green tea extracts, which are said to have an anti-inflammatory effect – and are therefore said to help against skin blemishes such as pimples, blackheads and even acne. What’s special about the product is primarily its shape: In contrast to normal face masks, this one is applied to the skin with a stick. This allows you to target problem areas without having to get your hands dirty. But why is the Green Mask celebrated by so many influencers on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube?
Pore-clear skin in just a few minutes?
There are countless videos circulating on social media that can be found using the hashtag #greenmaskstick. You can see (almost) always the same scenario: young influencers who suffer from skin problems (on their face) and therefore gently rub their cheeks or chin with the pen. Only a short time later, the unbelievable happens: as if by magic, the clogged pores flush all the dirt from the skin to the surface – and are removed from the face with a wipe. What remains is flawless skin. At this point, some skeptics may be wondering whether the… really works as well as the internet would have you believe.
For this reason, there are now dozens of people who prove that a large part of the magic show – especially the black dots on the skin – is fake. In fact, many influencers use ordinary chia seeds that they stick on the face mask. So that it looks as if all the dirt is being pulled out of the pores of the skin. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that green tea has an anti-inflammatory effect can improve the complexion. Although not to the extent that social media would have us believe. In addition, applying the face mask using the pen is quite practical, as it allows you to distribute the amount better and use the contents multiple times.
How to Apply a Green Mask Stick
The antioxidants contained in green tea have an antibacterial effect and are therefore used in many beauty products that are intended to help against skin blemishes such as pimples or blackheads – including the Green Mask Stick. Unlike classic face masks, the pen can be used multiple times, which is probably its biggest advantage. The dosage is individual, but the application always remains the same:
- Cleanse your face with a mild cleansing lotion to remove dirt and make-up residue from the skin.
- Apply the Green Mask Stick gently to the desired skin areas around the eyes and lips.
- Leave the face mask on for ten minutes before washing off the residue with lukewarm water.
