Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask - Hydrating Vegan Face Mask with Hyaluronic Acid + Antioxidant Vitamin C for Skin Glow - Anti-Aging Overnight Treatment - Clean Beauty (2oz)

Product Information

Now, I have noticed that if I use the Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask too often during the week, it can become a bit too much for my skin, especially around my period, and there is a risk of breakouts developing around my chin and left cheek (side sleeper problems, sigh). To me, this is more of a weekly to bi-weekly treat, which just gives my skin a luxurious extra boost of glorious radiance and skin barrier pampering. If you have dry skin, you may enjoy the mask more often though! According to the brand, this mask was designed to leave skin looking renewed and radiant. We didn’t notice much improvement in terms of texture or glow. That said, the hydration this delivers is so powerful, we’ll definitely reach for it whenever we start feeling dry. Listen, I am as sceptical as the next person when someone declares a product working “overnight.” We all know skincare takes time to show any positive effects, so using something only once or twice and then declaring it the best thing ever is of course deeply suss! So, you can imagine how baffled I was when I woke up the morning after applying the Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask for the first time overnight and looking in the mirror to see… radiant skin?! The product did what it advertised to do?! As for nightly routines, cleanse first, then apply the mask. Consider forgoing the moisturizer, unless you wake up feeling dry (which simply won’t happen with any of the masks on our list). “Generally speaking, if you feel dry in the morning you can benefit from adding an additional moisturizer the night before in addition or consider switching to a different product,” but most don’t need the extra assistance. In the morning, wash off the mask and begin your morning routine. Our winning formula is this irresistible Saturday Skin jelly mask, which features a bouncy, lightweight texture that feels incredible going on. The formula contains yuzu extract, which contains three times more vitamin C than any other citrus fruit. It’s paired with niacinamide and retinol for additional brightening, smoothing, and refining effects.

The most buzzed-about product by this brand is definitely the Youth to The People Superfood Cleanser. They call it a “green juice cleanse for your face” because of the inclusion of superfoods like kale, spinach, green tea, and alfalfa. Kale is rich in skin-loving phytonutrients and vitamins C, E, and K. Spinach has the ability to soothe the skin while adding hydration. Green tea contains the polyphenol EGCG, which has anti-inflammatory properties and has also been shown to decrease oxidative stress. Alfalfa contains flavonoid antioxidants that protect against free radicals. Frequency depends on the type of formulation you use. Always read the instructions and pay attention to your skin’s needs. Dr. Engelman says most masks don’t need to be used more than once a week. “It’s a great way to give your skin an extra boost,” she says. Some masks are designed to be used nightly but using a weekly mask too often can also be too much of a good thing. “This can be too intense and result in other skin problems,” she says. “It’s important to let your skin breathe through the night sometimes.” Can clog pores – This is not the mask for oily and acne-prone skin types. It’s very hydrating and includes sunflower oil and vitamin E that can clog pores. Antioxidants donate electrons to free radicals. Free radicals only have one unpaired electron, which makes the free radical unstable and highly reactive. In an attempt to become more stable, free radicals will either donate their single electron to another molecule or accept an electron from another molecule.The Youth To The People Mandelic Acid + Superfood Unity Exfoliant is a triple threat liquid toner with AHA, PHA and BHA. Besides the fact that this acid toner is gentle and non-drying or irritating yet still adequately effective, I’m in love with its scent. It’s a eucalyptus like spa scent that just smells amazing. As I mentioned above, I tend to use overnight masks in addition to my regular moisturisers, but you can also try the Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask as a replacement for your usual nighttime cream if you find this a little too much. Both works fine, it really just depends on your skin’s needs. Designed for flare ups and signs of sensitivity, this calming mask is formulated with floral extracts like passionflower, cornflower, and cherry blossom to counteract redness overnight. It also contains vitamin C and squalane for overall brightening and smoothing. The texture feels like an especially rich moisturizer, enveloping your face in a silky, moisturizing cocoon. I also appreciate that it’s not a super simple and boring blend of a couple of clay powders. Instead, the Youth To The People Super Clay Mask includes interesting ingredients like BHA, niacinamide and kombucha. Overall, we think that the Youth to The People products are formulated well, although we wish the brand would formulate all of their products without fragrance. Pros

While the brand sells a reusable spatula separately, we would love to see one included with the maskFounders Joe Cloyes and Greg Gonzales started Youth to the People in 2015. With their grandmother, mother, and aunt all serving as veterans in the beauty industry, it seems that the interest in skincare runs in the family, the two carrying on what so clearly runs in their blood. As is common for Youth To The People, they’ve included a high-quality stable form of vitamin C in the mist. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate can really brighten the skin, especially when coupled with natural antioxidants. Let me know in the comments: Have you tried any Youth To The People products yet? What’s your take on overnight masks, yay or nay? Except, the cousins didn’t just want to create any standard skincare brand, they decided to integrate a social justice and sustainability approach into their company mission, landing on a name that harkened the iconic phrase: “power to the people.”
