If you’ve read the blog or seen my empties posts, you already know that I’m a bit of a sheet mask fanatic. I use them almost daily, and my poor husband sometimes jokes that our fridge will soon be completely filled with masks instead of food. Most masks are good, some are a miss, but it’s rare for me to come across something and think “WOW, I MUST get MORE”. Today’s mask is one of those WOW ones.
This mask was part of my Facetory subscription box (read about them and score a sweet coupon here). Urban City Azulene Aquaring Mask is available on eBay and Facetory.
Active ingredients:
Azulene - extracted from chamomile, it’s most known for its vivid blue color and skin soothing/anti inflammatory properties.
Soybean ferment extract - smoothes wrinkles and fine lines. Fermented particles are smaller than non fermented ones and can penetrate deeper into the skin.
Willow bark extract - a natural source of salicylic acid, great for acne prone and troubled skin.
Cinnamomum cassia bark extract - plumps and exfoliates the skin.
How to use:
Apply to clean skin after toner
Relax for 10-20 minutes, discard, and pat in the remaining serum/essence
Follow with the rest of your routine
It makes my face look a bit fat :)
My impressions:
I want to buy 100 more. The only thing I don’t love about this mask is how large the envelope is. It’s cute but impractical. The rest is spot on - the material is soft and fully saturated with serum, the smell is light and fresh. It feels absolutely divine on the skin when taken out of the fridge (I keep all of my sheet masks refrigerated). Once the sheet material is removed, the remainder of the serum easily absorbs into the skin without any stickiness at all. My skin felt refreshed, hydrated and happy. Highly recommend!
