So this week I decided to try my sheet mask from Etude House, the I Need You line. It didn't took time to decide which one I wanna try first because my skin decided to be a lil bitch this week. Yes. My PMS skin decided it would make me look prettier if it popped 4 pimples at once. Can you feel the love? Thanks a lot, skin.
And because of that, I decided to try the Tea Tree one first, hoping it can sooth my pimples down. So here we go!
This Tree Tea mask supposed to sooth and clean your skin. The sheet mask contains extract from Tea Tree with soothing properties on skin to provide a fresh, clean complexion (as it is written on the packaging). My pimple gals out there might already familiar with this ingredient as Tea Tree is commonly used to solve our acne problem. Some of you might be too scared using products with Tea Tree in it because it can dry out your skin. Well until this time I never experienced any dryness after using a tea tree sheet mask. But I did experience terrible dryness after using The Body Shop's Tea Tree Line. Is this mask going to work on my skin? Let's find out.
Ingredients:
WATER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, CITRUS PARADISI (GRAPEFRUIT) FRUIT EXTRACT, ALCOHOL, PANTHENOL, CARBOMER, PEG-60 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, XANTHAN GUM, MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA (TEA TREE) LEAF EXTRACT(20MG), POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, ALLANTOIN, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, SOPHORA ANGUSTIFOLIA ROOT EXTRACT, LONICERA JAPONICA (HONEYSUCKLE) FLOWER EXTRACT, PRUNUS PERSICA (PEACH) LEAF EXTRACT, PAEONIA ALBIFLORA ROOT EXTRACT, GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT, SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS ROOT EXTRACT, DISODIUM EDTA, PHENOXYETHANOL, FRAGRANCE
As usual from a sheet mask, lots of natural ingredients. However, it also has alcohol and fragrance in this mask. So if you are the type of person who don't wanna put those 2 ingredients on your face, then you might wanna think twice.
I noticed that this mask also contains Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract. Can I expect my memory to improve after i use this mask?
Please laugh with me.
APPLICATION
As usual, cleansing, toning and exfoliating before I put my sheet mask on. I use Paula's Choice Clear Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution because it's really gentle on my acne skin.
The first thing that I noticed from opening the package and took the mask out, is that there is no a piece of layer that covers one side of the mask. You know, the one that prevents the one side of the mask from sticking with the other side. So when I pulled out, I got a chunk of cotton sheet mask that is pretty hard to unfold.
The second thing that I noticed, is there is no extra essence in the package D: Well there is, but you have to really squeeze out the package to get that tiny weeny extra. But on the happy side, there is no essence that dripping out from the mask because the essence itself is a bit thicker than My Beauty Diary ones, and also because there is less to be dropped to begin with. Well we don't spend our money to get the essence to be all over the floor right?
The cotton mask itself is also thicker than My Beauty Diary, but it sticks reaaally well on my face. I didn't feel like the mask slipped down from my face even once. Here's a picture of my creepy ghost-mask face as a bonus:
RESULT AND REVIEW
Well, after 2 times of use... I feel my pimples less hurt when they are touched (not a good example here). I didn't feel the effect immediately after I use the mask. But after I woke up, the bump and redness are still there, but it's just less hurt. IDK if it's because of my pimple meds or the mask tho. lol. But I think both has fasten the healing process of my pimples.
So overall, it's just a so-so mask. Maybe it's better to use this to prevent, rather than to heal your already forming acne.
Pros:
+ Hydrating & refreshing
+ Makes your pimples less hurt
Cons:
- Doesn't get rid of the bump and redness
- I still have a suck memory power
Ratings: 5.5/10
Purchase again? Maybeee
