Keanu Reeves Launched GlamGlow’s Famous Mud Mask, Also I Am Freaking Out About It

GlamGlow is famous for masks which does not just help clean pores and business faces up but also function as a excuse to post shiny, glittering selfies. The new shimmering peel-off masks have garnered lovers among editors, shoppers, and celebrities alike. The mask which began it all, YouthMud, is decidedly less eloquent, but it is no less loved by actors. In reality, one sudden celebrity specifically was really the inspiration for the own creation: Keanu Reeves.

Yes, you are reading that right: Keanu Reeves — aka Ted Theodore Logan, John Wick, Neo, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine, and that man who will strangely send Sandra Bullock time-traveling letters — would be why YouthMud, the $59 exfoliating clay therapy, is.

As if we needed more reasons to love him.

The newest reminded us of the fun reality in a media release celebrating YouthMud’s 10th anniversary, and we had been starstruck all repeatedly.

“One day, my spouse and I had been in a party in the Hollywood Hills with a whole lot of directors and actors, and skincare came up in conversation. This A-list actor — I won’t say who — was searching for a miracle product which will make his skin look camera-ready fast — such as in 10 moments,” GlamGlow creator Shannon Dellimore informed Allure‘s Brennan Kilbane at 2017. (Apparently, 3 decades after, it is no longer a mystery.) “I said, ‘I will find you something!'” 

Not only did she find something, she made it himself. “I needed to do it for pleasure. My spouse and I discovered a laboratory and did a whole lot of fixing study. Clay was a clear option, but we discovered this wonderful charcoal, also we investigated acids, also,” Dellimore explained. “We gave it to him to attempt, and he was like, ‘This stuff is wonderful.’ The term caught on, and our subway, which did not yet have a title, became this backstage feeling in film and TV studios.”

At that moment, we requested Reeves’s publicist when he’d do an interview regarding the item, and she had been quite mean, neither confirming nor denying that he utilized it. But we do not hold he or YouthMud.
