Malin and Goetz Detox Face Mask Background
New York designer and former architect Andrew Goetz paired with product aficionado Matthew Malin, who had a long history in the beauty and cosmetics world, to found a company designed with simple skincare solutions and sensitive skin in mind. The company has several Brick and Mortar locations in NYC and can be purchased at department stores or online. Conceptually, the two identified a demand in the marker for a company free of complicated regimens and multiple steps for busy urbanites looking to avoid the hassle. Skin sensitivity, concerns, and conditions were also paramount. It was important to develop a product that could be used on any skin, barring allergy, and for men and women alike. One founder speaks often to personal experiences with rosacea and eczema, and has offered himself as a tester to every product’s safety. So with simple skincare solutions and that personal testimony in mind, they have created a solution for both busy professionals seeking simplicity and those with sensitivities seeking relief from product irritation. Ultimately both of these are achieved alongside great results of product use.
Review: Malin and Goetz Detox Face Mask
The Detox Face Mask is a great product, producing lasting results in only 5 minutes. The product should be applied to a dry face and requires about two pumps. Once a thin layer of the product is applied the mask foams up on the skin, with a similar look to a shaving cream. You’ll hear the product “crackle and pop,” a normal reaction and a sign of hydration being restored. When the product is removed, after only 5 minutes, the skin is left fresh, clean, soft, dewy and brightened. Skin glows and results are visible very quickly and after only one use. The mask can be used by any skin type, oily types will benefit from balance and dry types will benefit from fully restore hydration. It is very safe for skin conditions and can be used with sensitivities (a rarity for treatment products that work). You may want to follow with a serum and moisturizer or this may be your only step if the skin is left balanced and hydrated to your liking. During the daytime it’s advisable to finish with a suitable SPF product or cream. But ultimately you will feel and see results immediately after use.
