As I get more experienced with kbeauty, sheet masks are losing their luster. I still like a good one every now and again, but to truly see the benefits of their essence or serum, one would have to use them regularly. It’s rare that a sheet mask stands out to me anymore.
The Mask Moments Coconut Gel Sheet Masks are worth noting, in my opinion. I won them through Picky (highly recommend that app.Sign up here using invitation code 982961C6). I have the Stress Melt - available on Amazon, and You Had Me At Hello - also available on Amazon.
These are made out of coconut gelly and biocellulose, which thins out as the serum transfers to the skin. If you like hydrogel eye patches, then these are like a patch for the entire face.
The You Had Me At Hello variety promises to brighten the skin and improve the appearance of pigmentation (watch this video for my best hyperpigmentation tips). It contains fig, fennel, lime, and niacinamide. Definitely review the full list of ingredients provided at the end of the article for individual sensitivities. I didn’t have any issues, but my skin isn’t very reactive.
The Stress Melt mask aims to soothe irritation and contains mint, lavender, and bergamot. I have a huge issue with the way this one is marketed. While the scents of mint, lavender, and bergamot can definitely be soothing and calming to the mind, all three of these ingredients can be incredibly irritating for the skin. Someone who is as into skincare as I am probably already knows this, but an average user or anyone just starting out may not. By marketing a mask with essential oils as calming and soothing, the brand is setting some people with sensitive skin up for failure.
How to use:
Apply after cleansing and toning
Enjoy for 10-20 minutes
Remove the mask, pat in the essence
Follow with moisturizer
My impressions
I have two masks of each kind; definitely not enough to talk about any long term results. However, in the short-term I really like these. The material is my favorite - very much like hydrogel and fun to use. Both masks are plumping and hydrating; my forehead lines look a lot smoother after using these. As far as the difference between the two kinds - I don’t notice any other than the scent. That’s probably where long term use would set these two apart more.
Overall, great material, iffy marketing, but my combination not-very-sensitive skin enjoyed it.
