In the realm of beauty treatments, few things are as laugh-inducing as a woman wrestling with a stubborn face mask. A recent video featuring the amusing struggle of a woman named Laura Thompson has gone viral, and it’s easy to see why.
The old adage that beauty is pain might hold some truth, but let’s be real—any beauty regimen that leaves you wincing is probably not worth it. Laura’s experience with a “black mask,” designed to tackle blackheads, is a perfect demonstration of this. These masks promise to cleanse your pores but can also yank out every tiny hair on your face, making the process far from pleasant.
Laura, a singer with a knack for comedy, decided to share her painful yet hilarious ordeal on social media. While she may not have intended to create such comedic gold, we’re all thankful she did. If you’ve ever ventured into the world of online beauty tutorials, you’ll relate to Laura’s frustration as she observes how effortlessly other women appear to peel off these masks, looking flawless.
She exclaims in her video, “You’re supposed to exfoliate first, then put this on your face, wait 30 minutes, and peel it off. But online, these women just seem to put it on and, poof, it’s gone!” However, Laura’s reality is a stark contrast; she yells, “This is total nonsense because it hurts! It’s literally ripping every tiny hair off my face!”
While it’s hard not to chuckle at her predicament, it’s clear that she is going through quite a bit of agony. “If I don’t look good after this, I’m going to be very angry!” she says, and honestly, who could blame her? Losing a layer of skin should at least come with some visible rewards.
As the minutes drag on and Laura struggles to free herself from this facial torment, she declares, “I don’t understand how those women look good doing this,” and “I feel like a dinosaur right now.” It’s a relatable moment for many who have attempted similar beauty routines and ended up questioning their life choices.
Laura had set out for a relaxing evening, looking forward to a long shower and a mask treatment. Instead, her night quickly turned into a comedic catastrophe as she lamented, “I just regret my life right now.” The dramatic breaths she takes throughout the video are reminiscent of someone in labor, leading her to quip, “Why didn’t anyone tell us it hurts like childbirth?!”
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the mask comes off. “Let’s inspect this for gunk,” she says, only to find what looks like the roots of every hair on her face. “I feel betrayed by my fellow women. I was misled!”
Having recently dipped my own toes into the “charcoal” beauty craze, I can empathize with her plight. I tried a pore strip on my nose, which took ages to remove and left me sore for hours. At least I could admire the collection of pore gunk I had harvested—always a good time, right?
Laura reminds us all that knowledge is power when it comes to these beauty treatments. “People need to know how painful this is! It’s like a full facial wax!” So, ladies, heed her warning: approach those daunting black masks with caution if you cherish your skin.
