An an expensive $35 per 110g, the I’m From Mugwort Mask is thankfully an enjoyable product, even if it is a severe splurge for maybe 8-10 uses. When I first received this wash-off mask, I was a bit disappointed by the size, even if the packaging, texture, minty scent, and mini-spatula promised a fulfilling experience. The mask itself is grainy when applied, and while I used the spatula to dig in new globs, I spread the product around my face with my fingers, as the texture was bit too goopy to neatly pat with the utensil alone. After waiting the appropriate ten minutes (which passed by without any irritation and only the occasional dripping of product), I found the most delightful aspect about this mask to be the washing off period as it leaves the skin feeling especially plump and refreshed. Despite all the mini-granules in this mixture, the substance drips off smoothly and without any abrasion.

The Takeaway
As much as I enjoyed using the I’m From Mugwort Mask, I don’t see myself using it again in the future simply due to the cost. The ingredients are impressive and the experience was pleasant enough, but to see all these benefits disappear after only a relatively small amount of uses was somewhat disheartening. As much as I enjoy face masks, they are an indulgent presence in my skincare routine — not a necessity — and for that, I find it difficult to warrant the $35. I’d definitely recommend trying it out if you want to treat yourself, but you should by no means feel compelled to make this a regular inclusion into your process.
