With it – somewhat precariously - in place, the next step is to “apply a thin layer of the mask on top”. Following the instructions, I smeared my face with the nearest serum to hand (it happened to be ilike’s Wrinkle Eliminator Serum) and patted the gauze (it has holes pre cut for eyes, nose and mouth) over my face. The pot of Magnetic Skin Therapy comes with two sheets of cosmetic gauze. These include antioxidant powerhouse of polyphenols, saponins, omegas and bioflavonoids that are derived from plants such as elder flower, walnut leaf and horsetail. I have no idea what its role in skincare might be although I can speculate that it may aid absorption of the other ingredients. Generally derived from iron oxides, ferrites are used to make magnets. The magnetic part is provided by ferrite. It is designed to aid fluid circulation and the skin’s absorption of oxygen and nutrients. This face mask has supposedly been used in Hungary ( ilike, a decade-old Hungarian company, is a new find of mine that specializes in organic botanical skincare) for eons. Before I tell you why, I should explain what ilike’s Magnetic Skin Therapy is and how the application with the gauze stuff works. I have dubbed Magnetic Skin Therapy my ‘BP oil slick mask’. Covered in an oily black paste, spiked with tufts of gauze, I looked like a pelican washed up on a Gulf of Mexico beach. Looking at myself in the mirror, I was a sight to behold (hopefully, never by anyone else).
The potion itself is pitch black, dense and tacky. The application alone is unusual – it is applied over a sheet of gauze. One of the strangest beauty products that I have ever encountered has to be ilike’s Magnetic Skin Therapy ($68).
