Cosmetologist Zinaida Kudrina: “Silver is a truly mystical material. Cosmetologist Zinaida Kudrina: “Silver is a truly mystical material Silver face mask name

Hi all!
I bought 2 super famous silver peel-off face masks and finally got around to sharing them!
If you are interested in reading or just looking at the silver man, come in.

Not long ago, the entire Internet exploded with silver and gold masks, Instagram is simply replete with “I’m wearing a mask” selfies. I also became interested, so I decided to join the general squeal and buy 2 of the most famous masks at the moment. The first is the expensive American GlamGlow GravityMud, and the second is a much (about 7 times) cheaper Korean mask A "Pieu Silver Foil Pack. These 2 masks are constantly compared in the “I want, I can” category, since they have the same declared effect, and in a selfie no one can tell what brand it is.
No one will know whether you bought an expensive or a cheap mask since both of them look almost the same. Can you guess who is where?

The GlamGlow mask is applied to one half of the face, and the Korean analogue of A"Pieu is applied to the other. Can you guess which side is which? The answer will be a little lower;)

First, I’ll tell you about the American version of the silver mask - super famous GlamGlow GravityMud!
Package I love! The jar is packaged in a purple cardboard “diamond-coffin”! The packaging “greets” the customer, putting her in a playful mood.
Inside the box there is information about active ingredients.
It is indicated on the cardboard part compound.

And of course, right there instructions. Manufacturer's promises- smoother and tighter skin.

The kit consists of a heavy jar with a mask, a brush for applying it and multilingual instructions.

There is even a very decent translation of the instructions into Russian - a small thing, but nice.
Under the lid there is a protective layer of foil, and under it is the same silver mask.

Texture- jelly, mercury jelly, that is, the mask is moderately fluid.
Application process quite simple, since the mask is liquid and the jar has a wide neck.
Aroma The mask is incomparable, it’s a real pina colada, that is, a mixture of coconut and pineapple, not a vulgar version a la toilet freshener, but a very light, I would even say “perfume composition.” It is very pleasant that the aroma is present not only in the jar, but is felt during use, and even for about 20-30 minutes after removing it.
neutral, the mask does not tighten the skin too much, I don’t feel any special effects, no cold, no heat, no tingling, nothing, despite the fact that my skin is quite sensitive.
This is what it looks like face mask.
Removal The mask happens quite quickly, it is removed with one stocking (of course, if you applied it in a thick enough, even layer, and also did not touch the hairy parts). The skin texture is imprinted on the mask.

Effect of use I personally don't feel it. Perhaps the skin becomes a little smoother, but any peel-off mask gives this effect by tearing off a certain amount of dead skin from the surface. For me, this mask only has an aromatherapy effect, nothing more.
Comparison: the “before” face is on the left, the after is on the right. I'm sorry, but I never manage to shoot before and after in the same key. If you see changes, please write in the comments!

Volume: 50 grams, consumption It’s big, I think this mask will be enough for me 5-6 times on my entire face.
Price: in Russia it costs about 5,000 rubles, in the USA it costs $69, I got it at Sephora in Sweden for 285 SEK (2,000 rubles).
Grade: 4 - pleasant aromatherapy, and that’s all.

The second mask is a recently released Korean analogue A"Pieu Silver Foil Pack.
Here, of course, everything is much more modest.
Package very simple - an ordinary plastic tube with a hinged lid.
Manufacturer's promises very similar - the mask should give the face elasticity and radiance.
Active ingredients: pearl extract to moisturize the skin, it also helps maintain optimal moisture levels, lavender extract to care for oily and problematic skin, which has a softening and soothing effect.
Instructions Application is also very simple - apply, let dry for 20-30 minutes and remove.

Compound listed in the most general form: Pear extracts(brightening), lavender extracts(calming and vitalizing), Syn-coll(firming and hydrating), and rosmary leaf oil(hydrating).
Texture It seems glue-like, exactly like the famous black masks against blackheads.
Application process a little more complex due to the texture, takes longer, needs to be applied with a soft brush (I apply with a GlamGlow brush, it’s a little tricky with fingers).
Aroma ordinary cosmetic, with some floral and powdery notes, nothing special. It is not noticeable on the skin during or after use.
Feelings during use significantly different from the American mask. The Korean mask creates a more noticeable feeling of tension on the skin; if there are wounds, it begins to tingle, and it is almost impossible to use facial expressions with it. By the way, it dries slower than GlamGlow.
This is what the mask looks like on my face, it seems a little more sheer than GlamGlow, but from the front it's all equal.
Removal the mask is less pleasant, since, firstly, it sticks to the skin much more firmly, and secondly, it breaks, when dried, it turns out to be less plastic than GlamGlow, so it is removed in pieces (or rather, removing it in one piece is realistic, but very difficult) .

Effect of use It's still barely noticeable to me. However, here the mask did a little work on the pores; I felt that several pores “opened” when it was removed from my face.
Comparison: the “before” face is on the left, the after is on the right. I'm sorry, but I never manage to shoot before and after in the same key.

Volume: 60 ml, according to my feelings consumption less than the American mask.
Price: 730 rubles in Russia, about $12 abroad.
Grade: 4 - for some work with pores (perhaps when steaming the effect will be more noticeable).
As a result, I didn’t particularly like any of the sensational masks, they have almost no effect, and I won’t buy any of them again.
Have you tried similar masks? Noticed the effect on your skin?
I am Natasha,
Thanks for stopping by!

Get an appointment with a cosmetologist Zinaida Kudrina almost impossible. She only sees her old clients, with whom she is always strict: she does not allow lateness for sessions, and even considers missing them a crime. What is the secret of her popularity - a regular author of OK! found out. Yana Laputina, co-owner of the aesthetic medicine clinic “Time of Beauty”

My dad always said that all accidents are natural. Time after time I am convinced that he is right: if fate persistently brings you together with some people, do not refuse it! A month ago I was introduced to Zinaida Nikolaevna Kudrina, a cosmetologist known in very narrow circles. Like a sorceress, she is able to erase traces of age and fatigue from the face, completely sculpting it anew. Kudrina developed her own massage technique and came up with special silver tools - ailerons, with which she performs massage. Zinaida Nikolaevna is going to sell her technique, which has fifteen patents, through a franchising system, but at the same time she is not ready to transfer her skills to every willing doctor. Over thirty years of practice, she has managed to work with the first ladies of our country, with TV presenters who have been on TV screens for decades, with many actresses and business women. After talking with Zinaida Nikolaevna, I turned from an interviewer into her patient, betraying the family business for the first time.

Zinaida Nikolaevna, tell us why you decided to focus on silver?

Much in my life happens according to metaphysical laws, and I know for sure that within me there is a mechanism for bringing everything to absolute aesthetics. During the Soviet Union, when the skincare line was limited to two products, I used at least five masks, all homemade ones. One day, silver with its excellent conductor and antiseptic properties came into the focus of my attention. I immersed myself in the study of metal, and somehow the massage technique appeared by itself, and then the ailerons. I define my technique as “facial sculpture.” Sometimes I manage to change the oval of my face, the expression of my eyes, but always the quality and color of my skin!

I heard that after your massage no cream is needed.

Any cream is an addition. However, I do not deny that if you use a good cream, the result will be better, since silver is an ideal conductor, which means it delivers beneficial substances to the skin cells much faster! Someday I will create a silver based skincare line.

What happens to the skin when it comes into contact with silver?

As shown by clinical studies that I conducted in 2011 in Paris, using ailerons, we obtain hydration of the deep layers of the epidermis, exfoliation of dead skin cells, but the main thing that I manage to achieve is the structuring of the facial muscles. During the procedure, excellent lymphatic drainage occurs, psycho-emotional blocks are removed, as I work out the muscles and relieve tension, which is especially obvious during periods of stress and fatigue.

I know that you prefer to work with faces that have not been touched by a cosmetologist, without injections or fillers, but why?

My technique is able to activate its own production of hyaluronic acid, but most importantly, the muscles begin to work correctly and actively, which does not happen in everyday life. Thus, I am absolutely sure that thanks to regular procedures we can avoid the manifestations of ptosis, which automatically means victory over the external signs of aging!

In other words, are you a facial fitness trainer?

To some extent, but this would be completely impossible without silver!

You say that you will not teach every doctor your technique. But is this the right approach from a market point of view?

I am ready for a selective, albeit not at all market, approach. Today, all over the world, only me and my youngest daughter own my equipment. I dream of training other specialists, but they will face a strict selection process. I believe that aileron massage can only be performed by a specialist with the right energy. Silver conducts human energy, and if it is negative, then there will be no effect from the procedure.

Aren’t you afraid that, having trained the “right” specialists, you will no longer be able to control the further spread of your technique?

I already had experience when, after spying on them, they tried to use my technique. And nothing worked out for these people. It’s not for nothing that I talk so much about energy and about what a wonderful conductor silver is. This is truly mystical material!
