THIS IS THE TINGLIEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED! || Andalou CannaCell Glow Mask || #RivetReview

Hemp is here to stay! For a long time, hemp byproducts such as the oil and seeds were not allowed to be sold in Australia. It's weird, because hemp contains negligible concentrations of their psychoactive components, called cannabinoids, which means you won't get high or be able to treat medical conditions with plain ol' hemp.

Hemp oil and other hemp products were few and far between, but the widespread mainstream availability has brought this humble plant into our diets and skincare, with many brands boasting the benefits of the oil and other components of the plant for the skin. Andalou steps in with their CannaCell range!

Well, the vacuum pore cleaner tool now exists, and has dupes all over the place. I picked one up on a recent shopping trip to give it a whirl, and here's the verdict!
