‘I attempted Byoma’s viral peel-off masks, and it really gave me the glass pores and skin of my goals.’
The Daily Star’s facial expert Jess Fitch got her hands (and face) on one of the most talked about products on the market, the Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask
I just had to know whether it was worth the hype
I’m sure I am not the only woman whose feed has been flooded with a new product review or promotion every five scrolls. It’s extremely difficult to filter through the noise – is this product legitimate or just another influencer promotional fad? And this new product is no different, currently being the main star of my FYP and I just had to know whether it was worth the hype.
The Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask has pretty much blown up and you know what? It’s bringing something nostalgic to the market. The mask is peel-off, something which transports me back to my 11-year-old self begging my mum in Superdrug to buy me a cheap mask for a sleepover. Yet, those £1 masks were no more than a bit of fun and promised none of the skin benefits I would want now.
Byoma’s new product packs a punch. Containing Tri-Ceramide Complex to protect and maintain skin barrier, Bio-collagen to reduce water loss and Cica and Astaxanthin to fight signs of visible redness.
Amongst all this, it also promises the look many women are after currently: glass skin. All this from a peel-off face mask? I wasn’t convinced. But let me tell you, I was so wrong.
Firstly, packaging is always important to me. Having tried Byoma’s serums in the past, I would say I know the brand fairly well by now. I love their bright hues – this mask being a sort of muted hot pink, and the colour really pops on my shelf.
Very satisfying. I also enjoyed that they included a little plastic applicator in the lid, making it very easy to both apply and mix (which they recommend before use).
The mask itself is baby pink and a very thick consistency. This would normally annoy me but actually made the application of the product easier to spread on the face. The mask takes about 20-30 minutes to dry which is the perfect amount of time to kick my feet up and wait for the magic to happen.
The best part of a peel-off is, funnily enough, peeling it off. This made for an extremely satisfying watch in my mirror which, I would say, added to my relaxation and my skin underneath was GLOWING.
I have always pined for the look of glass skin (thanks Hailey Bieber) and this mask made my skin look porcelain. It felt moisturised, plump and what’s even better is that I didn’t have to worry about washing the product off.
Having tried and tested this product for a few days now, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Sitting at a mid-range market price of £16.99, this mask isn’t going to break the bank and will last you a good amount of time. With 2016 making its comeback era, maybe it is time to revisit the days of the good old peel-off.
