Review: Did I like Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask?

I had never heard of an oxygen mask until I tried the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask. And after trying it, I can understand why it’s a Best of Sephora 2008 Winner!

The oxygen mask has also been featured in these magazines: In Style, Fitness, Parenting Magazine, Marie Claire and RedBook.

Bliss skincare is available to buy from Bliss spas which are located in New York (they have three there), Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco and London (U.K.). Alas, there are no spas in Canada yet and there are no beauty counters at department stores selling the brand, but luckily for us Sephora stores do carry the brand so it’s quite convenient to buy it locally!

The Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask comes in a cylindrical white plastic bottle. The bottle has a pump-action dispenser, which is very easy to use because it dispenses the product quickly when you press it … you won’t be fighting with your mask.

From what I could read on the Bliss site, the product contains three major active ingredients:

1) Sodium (Na) PCA: This is a fantastic humectant molecule that keeps your skin hydrated without ever getting greasy.

2) FluidO2^TM: This is a special ‘liquid ventilation’ system, to carry stable oxygen molecules and release them on your skin’s surface.

3) BV-OSC: this is a multi-active powerful form of vitamin C available to brighten the skin and help repair the affects of environmental damage.

On the Bliss site they give a more detailed explanation on the effects of the mask and the reasoning behind the whole “oxygen” thing:

“What is it? A flash-action mask that delivers a shot of oxygen and detoxifiers, a dose of a powerhouse form of vitamin C, a smattering of anti-free radicals and a moisture fix to instantly spiff up your skin when you find it looking a little ‘low’ life.

Why? Studies show that as we age, the natural oxygen levels circulating in our facial skin decline, and along with them, goes the energy needed to keep our cells functioning like the cells on a ‘fresh’ face. More oxygen (and vitamin C, and hydration) means more energy for all of the biochemical processes required by your body to keep your skin functioning like it’s ‘young’.”

Here’s something worth taking note of:

Since 1996, Bliss Spas have given over 75,000 Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Treatment facials!

Did I like the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask?

I found the product really revitalized my skin and brought a lot of moisture to my skin. With the type of winter we’ve had this year … you can NEVER have too much moisture to protect your skin.

The only remotely negative thing I’d have to say about the mask is the fact that it’s runny and it won’t stay in place like a clay mask would.

Other than that, I quite enjoyed it. I used it in the morning as a way to boost my skin and make it glow more.

It’s simple to use and it has a rather lovely scent. The foam effect is fun and I found that it tingled a bit … which made me laugh!

Did I see any results?

My skin feels well hydrated after using Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask and the little bubbles are quite fun.

Would I buy it? Yes, I would

Would I replace my current body lotion? I’ve added to my mix because it’s a quick mask when I’m rushing in the morning.

OVERALL REVIEW:

There are other cheaper masks on the market, but you want to make sure that you buy a product that is effective or else you won’t end up saving money. It will be like throwing your money out the window!

In a recession, it’s important that you stretch your dollars as much as you can and that means (in my humble opinion) that you need to make sure you buy products that deliver!
