Freeman Beauty was launched in 1976 in Los Angeles for hair, skin, and foot care products, according to Freeman Beauty’s website. “Freeman Beauty had a vision to provide nature inspired hair care. facial masks, and bath and body essentials,” the website read. They also explained how some of the main ingredients that they use in their famous products are avocado, cucumber, papaya, oatmeal, and baking soda.

Let’s get real here.

If you are into beauty and all things skin care, you know what Freeman’s Beauty is. They are wildly famous on social media for being known for their life changing face masks as well as having a wide variety of health products. I’ve always wanted to try their masks because who doesn’t love a good face mask? I went for a Walmart run to repurchase my products that I use for my skin care routine, which, let me know if y’all would like to see that, and what do you know, I see a wide variety of Freeman Beauty products and the infamous charcoal face mask I’ve been dying to try.

What is the Gel Mask + Scrub?

The title of the product is Polishing charcoal + black sugar, gel mask + scrub. The description of the product on the front said that the product could be used on all skin types, and instantly detoxes pores + exfoliate for smooth skin. It also said that the mask was dual-action. The mask contained 6 fluid ounces and one of the main ingredients is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is really good for your skin because it minimizes pores, it reduces the oil on your skin, treats acne as well as cleanses the skin. It also soothes and heals bites, and cuts and skin irritations. “Black sugar helps exfoliate away dulling skin cells for softness and clarity. Perfect for all skin types,” read the back of the bottle. Charcoal overall is a very healthy product for you which is why I’m very excited to try it out !

Let’s try the product out!

On the back of the bottle, it provided a clear set of instructions. “Apply mask to damp face and neck, avoiding contact with eyes. Leave on for 5-7 minutes. Add warm water and massage gently to exfoliate, then rinse. Use twice a week or as often as needed.” I read in a beauty article online that exfoliating three times a week is best for the skin, so the pictures above are from the third day that I was exfoliating. I applied it to my face and left it on for 7 minutes. It felt very sugary in the sense like it felt like I was rubbing wet sugar all over my face. It wasn’t harsh at all or made my skin irritated. Afterwards, it left my skin feeling very smooth and refreshed. After three uses I did notice a huge change on my skin, it was smoother and more clear. I give this product a 10/10 and I do recommend it to my audience!
