From the moment I slathered Palmolive dish soap on to my six-year old face, I was a facial mask devotee. You see, I had seen my mom use avocado masks. So when I saw that green dish detergent bottle staring at me from the kitchen sink, it all made sense.

Avocados are green. That stuff’s green. Plus, it’s gentle on hands, tough on dishes. As I luxuriated during my Palmolive facial, I had not a care in the world.

And then my mom caught me and started screaming bloody murder, “Oh. My. Gah. You’ll. Get…PIMPLES!!” Personally, I like to compare that moment to the infamous “Mommie Dearest” wire hanger scene, but I guess it wasn’t that deep. My mom did make it crystal clear that acne was a potential pox upon our Manhattan apartment. Palmolive-gate also taught me about the power of a (proper) face mask.

Luckily as a beauty writer, I’ve been sent tons of face masks. Though they’ve had differing ingredients and benefits, most of them have the same goal: healthy-looking skin. But yeah, I still hadn’t found the one. Enter: Bliss Multi-Face-eted All-In-One Anti-Aging Clay Mask . This clay mask is enriched with jojoba oil, detoxifying carbon, lemon, and exfoliating glycolic acid. Don’t wince when you read “clay mask”. I’m not talking about a clay mask that hardens to the point of no return. Like you can barely move your face. No, this mask is flexible and has no strange smell.

Multi-Face-Eted Mask is an all-in-one product that promises more youthful-looking skin using the following techniques:
*Reduces visible fine lines & wrinkles
*Fades discoloration & dark spots
*Unclogs pores & visibly diminishes the look of large pores
*Brightens skin & evens skin tone
*Nourishes & deeply moisturizes
*Smoothes rough texture for velvety soft skin

I’m using it once per week and I can attest to brighter, more moisturized skin. I didn’t notice unclogged pores (renegade nose whiteheads), but maybe that will come with further usage. Look ma, no Palmolive!
And now a word from our sponsors (circa 1986).
