Good day beauties!
How are you all doing? I am so excited for I will be doing another haul for you very soon. For now, lets move on to the review!
For quite some time many Korean beauty junkies have been adding sheet masks to their routine. Some even use one every day! As I have been busy I felt like giving my skin a break by starting to use sheet masks, as they promise to give a nice cooling and relaxing sensation, and improve the skin in general. There are various sheet masks, each with different ingredients that suit a certain skin type.
Since I have heard good things about Etude House and Innisfree sheet masks I decided to try some. I got these for a good discount when I was in Korea. They are originally from the Etude House A to Z mask range. All the sheet masks are: Aloe (A), Bulgarian Rose (B), Collagen (C), Dandelion (D), Elder Flower (E), Fig (F), Green Tea (G), Hyaluronic Acid (H), Immortelle (I), Job’s Tears (J), Korean Ginseng (K), Lemon (L), Mango (M), Noni (N), Olive (O), Pomegranate (P), Q10 (Q), Royal Jelly (R), Shea Butter (S), Tea Tree (T), Unpolished Rice (U), Vitamin Complex (V), White Pearl (W), Xylitol Forest (X), Yogurt Strawberry (Y), Zucchini (Z), Heart (<3), Snail (@).
Unfortunately I was not able to get the Innisfree ones, but hopefully I will be able to sometime.
The first mask is the I Need You, Lemon! Mask Sheet. The main purpose of this mask is [Tone Clarifying]. It contains Vitamin C packed lemon extract which claims to purify dull and exhausted skin to become cleat and transparant.
Since I have acne prone skin (hormonal) and blackheads, for a long time I wanted to add Vitamin C to my skin care routine as Vitamin C promises to help healing the skin faster, stimulate cell renewal, and brighten the skin. After using a couple of these I have noticed that my acne scarring significantly reduced! This mask has a slight lemon scent to it which makes my skin feel refreshed.
The only con is that afterwards the shape of the sheet does not exactly match the shape of my face, especialy around the nose and mouth. After removing the mask there is a lot of essence left which can be massages into the skin. Result: Skin feels cool, soft and brightened!
The second mask is the I Need You, Xylitol Forest! Mask Sheet. It contains Xylitol extracted from a birch tree called the Queen of the Forest. Its purpose is to [Clean Moisture] and it promises to clean, cool and moisturise the skin.
After applying this mask my skin feels very cool and soft. I like applying this mask to have a 'clean' and 'refreshed' feeling. There is no particular scent to it.
The same con goes for this mask, which is the shape of the sheet.
Application
Both masks should be applied after toner onto clean skin. You can relax and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. After removing the mask the remaining solution should be massaged into the skin.
Overall experience
I find that both solutions are very moist and cool. I love the packaging because I like the design and I hink that they are cute and colourful, and suit very well with other Etude House products.
A con is that both masks are drenched in essence so my advise would be to lay down when wearing the mask.
The sheets do not fall off easily when wearing them, so you can also walk around instead of lying down.
Another benefit to these masks is that they somehow remain cool even though I am not putting them in the fridge! Also, they are very travel friendly as they are lightweight and thin, you can pop a few of these in your bag, wear them on your face and throw away the packaging.
To sum it up, I am positively surprised by both masks and I like putting one on every other day. I would repurchase them, although there are so many others that I want to give a try :)
Price
Each mask contains 20 ml of essence and is valued at approximately 3 US dollars.
