GLAMGLOW ThirstyMud Hydrating Treatment

I don’t usually have a problem with masks that promise hydration, however within less than 3 minutes the burning and tingling on my skin got so uncomfortable that I had to remove it. My skin is not hugely sensitive so I was surprised by this and won’t be using it again. My skin is now red and painful and I’m hoping that it won’t become worse overnight. It’s really disappointing that masks these days seem to be made with such harsh ingredients and the strong scent, although very nice, suggests there’s a lot of fragrance in here which could also cause a reaction in some or sting dry skin.

Thirsty Mud is a gorgeous hydrating face mask for those struggling with dehydration and seeking soft, supple and hydrated skin. This mask has a consistency similar to honey, but not as sticky. It is a beige colour and smells delicious - like cream and coconuts. You only need to apply a small amount to your face, in a thin layer. It dries some, but not completely. It will remain tacky for the duration of the wear time - which should be around 15-20 minutes. After this time has passed I simply rinse it off with warm water. It rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated, and looking plump, youthful and refreshed. This mask is absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend it to anyone with dry or dehydrated skin. The only downside to this product is the price - it is extremely expensive. However, it is a great product to splurge on as it delivers on its promises and makes the skin looking and feeling gorgeous. I have slightly sensitive skin and had no issues with redness, irritation or breakouts from using this product.

I am 37 I’m Filipino with medium brown skin darker than tan I have fine lines at the top of my forehead and very fine lines around mouth this product is not for fine lines it actually accentuated the lines on my forhead and made them look horrible. I use a glycolic acid for fine lines that works great until I put this over it. This product is not for anti aging skin prob okay for 20 year olds. Also because I use glycolic acid I need something very moisturizing to lock everything in I had to put moisturizer over this mask. Smelled ok didn’t care for the stickiness of it. Thank god I only bought a little sample of it I usually use the body shop sleeping mask drops of youth (the green one) works amazing I will just stick to that. So basically this is not good for aging skin

Beautiful packaging and yummy smell! I was really looking forward to getting this on my typically dehydrated skin. The mask easy to apply, and left my skin feeling softer. I really wanted to leave it overnight but after about 15 min my skin started feeling a little cool..like minty fresh cool, which was a little odd and I did not like the feeling of this coolness and removed it. Other than that it is a good mask, but there are other options out there for less that do the same.

I received a deluxe sample of this in one of my subscription boxes (probably Sephora Play but I honestly don't remember). The smell is amazing! I would consider repurchasing for smell alone. As a mask/moisturizer it does what it is supposed to, but I don't think it warrants the Glam Glow premium price. My skin absorbs most of the product so there is not much to wipe off after about 10 minutes. It is not my holy grail mask, I can find masks that work just as well at Lush that cost considerably less.

When I first started getting into skin care and skin treatments this was one of the first masks I tried because of how highly it is touted and marketed at stores like Sephora. I used two jars completely but never really noticed any long term results, but I must say I did love the scent. This was before I began doing more research on skin care products and ingredients. Knowing what I know now this product is not one I'd recommend because of the following: jar packaging, fragrance ingredients are not good for the skin, ginger is not good for the skin, and for the price there are much more beneficial ingredients to look for in the skin care products you spend your hard earned money on. My more detailed review can be seen here:

Glamglow is an expensive brand, and I was super excited to test drive a sample of Thirsty Mud. I love the smell of Thirsty Mud, a relaxing coconut, tropical fragrance. The smell took me back to Cancun, Mexico, in a good way. I knew, unfortunately, the moment that I applied Thirsty Mud to my face that it wasn't going to work for me. It was way too hydrating. The instructions were to leave on ten to twenty minutes, but I removed the product after a few minutes, because my skin felt like it was suffocating under the moisturizer. Glamglow Thirsty Mud may be an excellent product for people with extremely dry skin. I have been using the remainder of my sample on my hands, and it is working excellent there.

Absolutely adore this mask. It is my savior during cold winter months, when my dry skin becomes extremely flakey and dry. I use this as a sleeping mask as opposed to washing it off after however many minutes. Put a decent amount on my face before bed, sleep, and wake up with plump, hydrated skin. Nothing else works as well as this does. It's pretty expensive, and the tub seems small, but a little really does go a long way!

Edit: This mask ended up not holding up to Northeastern winters. West coast, sure, but is that really winter? Day after day, I woke up with skin still dry and flakey, no matter how much I slathered on. I mean, it's an average moisturizer, but when you're paying $69, do you really want average?

Meh - this mask isn't super fantastic so I would not purchase again. The smell is ok. It isn't like a clay mask that dries up and gets tight - it stays moist which was apropos for a "hydrating" treatment. I experience a slight tingle while on but I have not experienced any other adverse reactions in the last year.

I'm not a fan of jars like this for sanitary reasons but I use a clean spatula to remove the product from the jar and apply with a brush (which I cannot recommend highly enough!!!! I got a super cheapo one from hippie food store and I LOVE IT - game changer).

After I rinse, my skin feels soft and plump like I just had a moisturizing treatment (oddly enough). The effect is not lasting, though. I will use this up but I won't buy again because I don't see the value. I personally see more value in taking this cash and tacking a facial onto the next massage. OR If you were going to have a slumber party with 10 other people and you all pitched in for a spa night, then it would be worth it.

What a total waste of money. First of all the jar is tiny so you only get a very small amount of product. Secondly, it doesnt work. After following the directions I was left with a sticky face and no improvement in my skins texture, hydration or appearance. I have cheap moisturisers that work 10 times better than this stuff.
