Review:
I picked these sheet masks up at TJ MAXX. It came in a pack of 10 for about 7 or 8 dollars. The sheet mask has a picture of a volcano and a gray statue. The statue reminds me of grade school when I learned about the Olmecs... I wonder if they teach those kind of things at school still? Anyway, here's what the mask looks like:
The sheet mask is
made of a thick, sturdy, and soft material, which was surprising because
usually masks like these are more expensive. It was saturated in essence and
felt nice and cooling on my face. The essence smelled like flowers. It wasn't
super overpowering and I enjoyed the scent.
Generally, sheet
masks always make my skin feel more hydrated and plump. I do notice that with
certain sheet masks, it can leave my skin feeling slightly sticky and overly
moisturized. I think the "overly moisturized" part has to do with the
fact that I have oily combo skin. However, the Jeju Volcanic Mask provided a
good balance of hydration. The essence absorbed nicely into my skin, made it
feel hydrated, but didn't leave me feeling sticky after.
I paid close
attention to my skin the next day. I wanted to see if the mask did in fact
control sebum. I noticed that the day after I use these masks, my face was not
as oily as it usually is. In regards to my pores, I really didn’t notice a
difference when using these mask. But like I said earlier, this mask adds a
good balance of hydration to the face, so I think it would still be good for
all skin types, even dry ones.
Although this was a
good mask, the way the mask was shaped/cut made it difficult to fit properly on
my face. It got kind of bothersome that it didn't fit on my face and I had to keep readjusting it. Because of that reason, I
really don't think I'll be repurchasing the masks. I just have other masks that
I like a lot better and that fit better.
