Hello friends and welcome to another video.
Today I am going to be trying out a face mask controlled by my iPhone,
Yes, that sounds weird and I think it's going to be weird.
I'm very excited about this product... mostly because it's a little contraband (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
This face mask is called PlaySkin ;) it's made by an Italian company called Baldan Group.
and it's only sold in the UK and Italy.
So I had one of my lovely UK based subscribers smuggle it to me, and uh they ordered it on my behalf and now it's here.
This face mask supposedly sends electric micro currents from your phone to your face
to revitalize, plump, and generally shock I think.
So my questions are: Does it work? Does it hurt? Will I be electrocuted in any way? And also, will I be able to play my skin like a game boy. (the real questions in life)
Okay. Let's get into it.
So I have like my box of masks here
On the front it says "There's an average increase in hydration of 115% in one session."
"Tests carried out on 20 subjects at the cosmetology center of the University of
Ferrara." So at least 20 other people have tried this before and ostensibly have
survived it. So I guess I'll be number 21. Let's open this up and see what's inside-
Okay, so it looks like we've got some directions. Um. This... [Tyler] what is that? [Saf] looks like a pair like
airplane headphones. But I think that this is the connector from the face mask
to your phone. And then it looks like we've got some electrodes. It kind of
looks like you know a little heart monitors, but I guess you're gonna put
that... onto the face. [Tyler] They look like things you put on an 11 from stranger things.
[Safiya] And then we've got some ~mascheras~ or masks- I'm sorry about my Italian accent.
I feel like my Italian accent goes straight to Spanish and my French accent
goes straight to Italian and then I also have this play skin anti-aging renewal
cream so that looks like something I've seen before are you here selling an
electric conductor let's hope not alright so the first step is to download
the play skin app from the App Store which I already have
and then the second step is to tie up your hair and cleanse your face all
right so I'm gonna go take my makeup off and I'll be right back for some shocking
good times okay so this is my before I've got a couple of pimps down here a
couple things I've been picking at and I also tweezed some mustache hairs for you
guys so you're welcome so we are on step number three which is open the mask and
take the two mask components out of the package oh they're very dry usually when
I open up a sheet mask I'm used to it being like super wet like dripping okay
so step number four is put the two components on a flat surface film facing
upwards what's that guy from spirited away no name yeah looks a little bit
like no name okay so step five is remove the protections from both strips
something about the word protections seems high stakes to me so hopefully
this is not the part where I get electrocuted step six is adhere the
electrodes to the strips after removing them from their base is that really the
word they're using electrode yeah we're going with electrode attach this to a
toaster and drop it into a bathtub here are my electrodes that will spermies
position the electrodes while keeping the cables up I think that's right
because both the electro I'm stuck to it because both the electrodes are facing
up up facing up okay so step number seven is remove and position the
double-sided adhesive discs and adhere them to the electrodes and then remove
the protective films from the mask all right I think that we're we're ready
shall we oh yeah it's a sticky one oh oh it's
pretty cooling it feels cool Tyler what's that it's sticking on my
sideburns it's in there isn't it yeah you might be in for an involuntary
waxing oh my god actually that really hurts I think you just please get it on
there and then we'll just pull the band-aid off I literally and
figuratively later I didn't realize I had significantly more sideburns than 20
Italian college students I'm not surprised
okay let's do the bottom part now my sideburns are really involved oh they're
in the line of fire okay well that was unfortunate what's next okay so step 11
is connect electrodes to the cable supplied and
position the right side and left wires over your ears tie I think I might need
some of your help no I put on my face mask so askew it's not the best
placement but it's on you see like I thought these like little places to plug
me in yeah so plug me in was like nineties electronics right here that is
blowing it first oh no please don't oh am I pulling your
sideburns yeah my bad okay I plugged in yes and then 12 is connect
the connector to your smartphone where's my cable attached to your head there we
go it's like the longest rat tail I know
you know what it is it's like one of those avatar ponytails oh it actually is
because I'm plugging myself into my one true mate
okay so I'm plugged into the matrix so let's open up my computer and we'll
start screen recording and seeing them what happens when I turn this mask on so
I'm opening up the play skin app it says hello are you ready for your beauty
treatment I'm pretty much as ready as I'll ever be
step 13 is use the mirror function to check whether the mask has been applied
correctly it's not great but I don't really know what to do to fix it the
problem is I can't readjust without completely ripping off my sideburns so I
think we're just gonna go with it so step 14 is start the treatment for
ten minutes of pure relaxation caution the micro currents of your smartphone
have a very low intensity they are not invasive or perceivable I like how they
say caution even before like good or like not dangerous things
they're both reassuring and also threatening they protect and they attack
okay so I'm gonna press play and we're gonna start the electric microcurrents
oh no suddenly the active micro currents are happening you put on your face uh I
feel like almost like a little bit of like buzzing around my mustache area it
feels almost like I'm bleaching my mustache but at the same time it could
placebo okay so I think we can rule out being electrocuted which
was a bit of a stretch to begin with but I still wouldn't recommend taking
this in the bathtub something that's a little different than I expected was
that they're kind of just going like the micro currents are just like happening I
kind of thought I might be able to like control them a little bit more you know
almost like shock myself or let me like play a little game or something but it
does look like I've got some shopping recommendations up here so let's see but
this is about seductive glance impeccable look mascara
plumping complex cream okay so it looks like it's maybe it's trying to sell me
their other products that they have I love that they say this is ideal for
Nordic photo types maybe from my last name they were like you should get this
blush you Nordic person you look like the screamer as I've been thinking that
Picasso painting yeah anyway especially we do that we've got a 20 second
countdown to the end of this thing wow that was 10 minutes that went by so fast
cuz I'm not shopping to do oh wow seven six oh it went directly from 7 seconds
to done okay so that was it I guess um shall we take it off yes okay down there
it looks normal it does look red or anything red oh no no I thought I'd
gotten it loose oh wow actually that did hurt is that I like it
there okay all right so let me take this side off now oh oh that one was better
alright so let's put on the cream which is our last step
it feels pretty normal it tastes like lemons you guys have eaten lotions yeah
that one doesn't taste good they're not really all edible okay so this is me a
couple minutes after applying the cream I think that it's absorbed pretty well
in I think in general I do look shinier so I do look more hydrated in that sense
but because I put the cream on it's hard for me to tell if the mask is what was
special and like the microcurrents really did anything so just to have a
second opinion I'm gonna put the mask on Tyler okay ty let's do it alright so I'm
really quick setting up Ty's mask I don't think South because I could do
this on my own well you started doing it on your own
and then you asked me for help almost immediately yeah it's actually true oh
it is cool oh wow you look like a sexy Santa ho ho oops sorry I got your
sideburn - that wasn't on purpose or anything his revenge
alright so let's grab your little avatar tail and uh plug it into my phone so I
guess we both now had avatar sex with my phone you ready for your beauty
treatment yeah we show it to me again we'll look at your face yeah you put it
really asked you to really stupid-looking it's almost am i well
let's do it ready yes press play do you feel anything I'm trying so hard to feel
if there's anything I think if there's something it's not like an electrical
buzzing but it's more like a message to cool down the mask you think it's
actually temperature controlled yeah well I assure that it wasn't do anything
persevere no I'm like sure it's doing something
for me I brought Krusty to see if he also thought you look like sexy Santa
wait you know what this does feel like a little spa treatment we're not relaxed I
know kitty they have a cool on face mask I'm gonna
be as hydrated a watermelon after this all right how much time do you have left
five minutes Jesus it's gonna take forever
Krusty I'm very sorry I don't think we should be giving you a mask all right
take it off here's the money shot right here uh yeah okay so the last step is to
put a little cream on I think I look more hydrated I don't 115% but
definitely uh more than 0% more hydrated okay so Tyler seems to think that this
thing changes temperature on his face I couldn't really feel anything I think
that what I was feeling was placebo so I'm almost wondering if there's like no
microcurrent and it's just all the cream so we're gonna head to Home Depot really
quickly to see if we can't find something that can help us see if
there's any actual electricity going through this thing okay so we're in the
car all the way to Home Depot right now too
multimeter which will hopefully hook onto the electrodes and tell us how much
or if there is any electricity running through the mask
all right hydrated tie show me in the fluorescent lights out and how nice and
hydrated you look I'm sparkly look you hydrated thank you
alright so this is a digital multimeter hopefully we should be able to see if
there's something being conducted all right let's get it okay so we're back
from our quick excursion to Home Depot we're not sure exactly what we're doing
we consulted our friend mark but I'm not convinced that he knows what he's doing
either okay so I'm gonna turn it on I think that 200m is like the lowest or
maybe more like 2m yeah it's good to it so I'm gonna use these little detectors
and try and touch this mask and see if I can't detect any microcurrents no maybe
here no okay I wonder what would happen if I unplug this right now so I pulled
this one out halfway so I've got some exposed metal basically so let's see if
I can now find the micro currents this way I know we made little jump it did I
swear they went up to three oh yeah I did
look oh my god that's working yeah there it is yeah holy crap there's electricity
in here for sure it's very interesting though because I can't detect any
electricity when I'm touching the actual mask but they are putting electricity in
this thing so it's not just nonsense not confirmed what that necessarily does but
maybe you could sense it a little bit I sensed it after a quick google search
there seem to be a few legit looking scientific papers that link the use of
electric fields to skin rejuvenation and therapy for degenerative skin diseases
I'm not sure if that's exactly what's happening here but there seems to be
some science behind it all right so that was pretty exciting I am very excited
that we were able to actually detect some electricity running through the
mask but I'm still not convinced that my face is a hundred and fifteen percent
more hydrated and I also still wish that there was more of a play element to the
place skin mask like I thought I might be able to do more concentrated bursts
almost like tap on different things on my phone and like you know sort of
send different types of electrical currents to my face so there wasn't as
much control or fun in the actual app as I thought there might be and I also wish
there was a little more sensation I'm glad it didn't hurt but I would like a
little buzz just so you know it's working I just I need it to be a little
more shocking not too shocking because that seems scary it's like a little
