Mario Badescu Whitening Mask Review

Hi! Today I want to share my thoughts on Mario Badescu Whitening Mask. I had shared this in my mini Amazon skincare haul. This face mask was on my list for long time. However, it was always out of stock. But luckily while shopping for face masks, I found the Mario Badescu Whitening Mask on Amazon.

Masking is one of the things I do religiously. It is like a relaxing mini facial. It targets specific concerns like breakouts, skin dullness, dryness, pigmentation, aging etc. I highly recommend masking, according to your skin type and skin concerns. You will gradually see some positive results.

About the brand – Since 1967, Mario Badescu has been the name that transcends generations: from powerful acne solutions to potent anti-aging treatments, we specialize in customizing entire regimens for every skin type and concern imaginable.

Product Description – This brightening mask is specially formulated to address discoloration and dehydration. A unique blend of Kojic Acid and Extracts of Licorice Root, Mulberry, and Grapeseed helps minimize the look of uneven skin tone. Olive Leaf Extract and Vitamin E nourish as Beeswax locks in essential vitamins and nutrients—leaving dull complexions hydrated and glowing.

The packaging of the Mario Badescu whitening mask is minimalistic. The clean and simple look of the jar with all the details is great. I have a weakness for luxurious packaging. But when a brand concentrates on quality of the product, at an affordable price, I love that.

The Mario Badescu whitening mask inside is white in color. The texture is a little runny, creamy and smooth. This anti-oxidant mask is formulated with natural skin brightening ingredients. I also want to mention that it has a mild spa like scent. But, the scent of licorice is dominating.

Ingredients

Kojic Acid – Kojic acid is extracted from different types of fungi. It helps to brighten the skin by inhibiting the melanin production. This helps to lighten and brighten the skin. It also helps to reduce the appearance of sun damage and age spots. . Kojic acid is effective in treating melasma (darkening of skin due to pregnancy) and also reduces the dark pigmentation of scars. The anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties helps in treating skin/fungal infections. Besides it also has some anti-aging benefits.

Licorice – Licorice extract is a potent anti-oxidant that also offers anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin. It is full of various beneficial compounds that help fade away dark spots and discoloration of skin.

Mulberry Extract – Mulberry extract is a plant extract that has the potential to brighten and improve the look of uneven complexion. It works best when combined with other skin brightening ingredients.

Olive Leaf – Olive leaf is full of anti-oxidants that helps defend against skin-aging free radicals.

Application

I don’t need to teach you how to apply a face mask. However, some face mask need to be applied in a thicker layer while some only need a thin layer. In the case of Mario Badescu whitening mask we need very little. I apply a thin layer all over my clean face, avoiding my eye area. And leave it on for 15-20 minutes. I love how soothing and cooling the mask feels. Later I rinse it off with running water. Instantly, I see a visibly brighter, smoother and radiant skin. I follow up with my serum and a moisturizer.

I have been using this mask twice or maybe thrice a week, for the past couple months. And I am really very impressed with the results. My skin looks brighter and more hydrated. The discoloration and redness on my cheeks has faded significantly. It also helps with the sun damage and tanned skin. But I mostly avoid going out in sun, unless necessary. I also wear a sunscreen on a daily basis and carry an umbrella because the sun is very harsh and hot here. Using this mask on a regular basis will definitely change the tone, feel and texture of your skin. Just after using it a few times my skin already looks brighter.

Overall, I love this mask and am very happy I finally got to try. It does what it promises. The natural ingredients make it gentle enough for sensitive skin people too. But I do recommend doing a patch test if you have super sensitive skin. I like that this face mask contains a lot of plant and botanical based ingredients. I highly recommend trying this if you are looking to brighten your complexion. It is great to get rid of discoloration of skin and acne marks. It is absolutely fabulous.

Besides if you are looking for an intensive brightening and glowing skin, I suggest using a Vitamin C serum after masking. Using Vitamin C at night time will leave your skin more radiant with youthful glow. It has become one of my favorite masks and will always have it in my skincare stash.

Until next time stay safe, healthy, bright and beautiful! 🙂
