00:00It smells like lime.
00:01It makes me want to put it in a margarita.
00:03I think it smells like the doctor's office, so.
00:07Hi everyone, I'm Kayla.
00:09And I'm Empress.
00:10And this is Test Lab.
00:12We try the internet's craziest trend
00:14so that you don't have to.
00:15Unless we think you should.
00:18Kayla, what are we doing today?
00:20What are you getting me into?
00:22We are trying a crazy beauty trend today.
00:25It's called Real Skin Patch.
00:26I've actually seen this before around the internet.
00:29Instructions and directions are not in English,
00:32so I can't fully comprehend what it's saying.
00:35What you do is you put this on first,
00:37on just your clear skin,
00:38and then you build your makeup on top of it.
00:40And it kind of works to protect your skin from your makeup,
00:44from the outside air and the dirty environment,
00:47and I think it's supposed to also
00:49help keep your pores from being clothed.
00:51I'm super freaking nervous.
00:53The videos that I've seen of this product,
00:56they will put this on, they'll test out their makeup,
00:58and then they'll literally, like, peel off this whole...
01:01Like if you were like a mummy?
01:03Yeah, it looks like an entire layer of skin and literally...
01:06It looks super cool, actually.
01:07No, it looks like something out of a horror film.
01:09Anything that protects you from the sun,
01:11the pollution, the New York City, it's good.
01:14So we should probably get started and test it out.
01:17Ready.
01:18Should we get our jackets on?
01:19Yes.
01:21I think I'm gonna rub it on almost like a moisturizer.
01:24Okay.
01:25It's pretty thick, and it feels really nice.
01:29I don't know how much to do.
01:31Like, what if I don't do enough?
01:32What if I do too much?
01:34Oh, it's sticky.
01:35I kind of want to layer it on so that it can really peel off.
01:38How's it feeling for you?
01:40It's feeling really cool.
01:41It's feeling kind of sticky.
01:43Yeah.
01:43You might want to really make sure that you let this product dry.
01:48Yeah.
01:48I mean, yeah, because it looks wet on your face right now.
01:50Oh, thank you.
01:53I feel like we need to just speed up the drying process.
01:55Okay.
01:55With the handy dandy blow dryer.
01:58I am armed and ready.
01:59Watch your hair.
02:00I wish that I had long hair right now
02:03so it could be flowing in the wind, darling.
02:05Um, wait, can I have a Beyonce moment?
02:07You totally can.
02:08Yes, let it flow, darling.
02:11Um, I feel like I'm a lot less sticky now,
02:14and I think we're ready to go.
02:16So, I will be using a powder, and you're going to be using liquid, correct?
02:22Let's apply.
02:26Oh, I'm peeling off my nose.
02:28Are you feeling too?
02:28Yep.
02:29I feel like it's really tight now.
02:31I mean, I still feel very lightweight.
02:34It just doesn't look good.
02:35You feel lightweight because it all peeled off.
02:37Kayla, you popped me into this.
02:39This is my first Refrenery29 video, and my face is peeling off.
02:44Kayla, what did you do to me?
02:45This is only my first week.
02:46We wanted to give you a good welcome.
02:48We're going to let this dry for another 10 minutes,
02:51and then we're going to come back, see what's happening with it,
02:53and peel it all off.
02:54All right, so it's already been 10 minutes,
02:56and we've allowed this stuff to dry,
02:59and now it's time for the big reveal of the peel off,
03:01which is already happening.
03:02Already happening.
03:03It's already been happening.
03:05For me, it's around my eyes, my nose a little bit,
03:09and all on this side.
03:10Everywhere.
03:11Yes.
03:11I just see a little bit on your nose.
03:13Yeah, it's mostly just on my nose.
03:14I would say a little bit on my jawline.
03:18Oh, there's my beauty mark.
03:19Uh-oh.
03:20It doesn't come off in just one chunk.
03:24It's brand new skin.
03:25It's a new life.
03:26It's a new day.
03:27It's a new day.
03:28It's coming off really easy for me.
03:30I don't know if it's because my face was heavily moisturized.
03:33I also slathered the product on my face.
03:36You still look beautiful to me.
03:38Oh, Kayla.
03:39I thought I had a thick layer on,
03:41and now I'm starting to second-guess that,
03:43because I'm having so much trouble getting this off.
03:45The place that I already peeled off,
03:47it feels really smooth.
03:49Oh, really?
03:50Can I peel a piece, please?
03:53It's soaked up a lot of makeup and blackheads,
03:56like all the good things that you need to take off the face.
03:59I think I need the makeup wipes.
04:02Thank God.
04:04I'm so over it.
04:12So, all in all, I don't necessarily think that this product works for the purpose
04:19that it intends to serve.
04:21You said your skin felt really good afterwards.
04:23It does.
04:23It feels really good.
04:24Yeah.
04:24I feel like it has another kind of shine on it.
04:27Yeah.
04:27Maybe it's just better as a peel off.
04:30I'm not sure that I personally would recommend it for an everyday makeup look.
04:34No, not at all.
04:35Yours really peeled right away,
04:37but thanks for trying this with me.
04:40Thank you for having me.
04:41It wasn't that bad.
04:42I mean, we got a nice Beyoncé blow-dry session, so that was worth it.
04:47Thank you guys so much for watching, and we'll see you next time.
04:49Bye.
