The Four Sigmatic Mushroom Face Mask and Tonic ($40) is actually sold as a dietary supplement. "Four Sigmatic's mask provides a supplement fact label and [the brand] encourages consumers to eat it," she said. "It's safe to eat. However, helpful to note that FDA does not regulate any supplements so consumers should always be aware of this."
Zanini explains its nutritional value if you were to decide to mix it into your smoothie. "Four Sigmatic's mask includes reishi mushroom, which may help improve immunity and boost energy when consumed, and activated charcoal," she said.
So the next time you're thinking about eating your face mask, you can feel good knowing these have been vetted by a dietician. They may not instantaneously give you glowing skin from the inside out — but if that's what you're after, you should probably just put it on your face.
