Udpate and Weekly Masks

So sorry that I've been gone for awhile. I lost focus in my skincare and for that my skin overthrew my happy kingdom and acne ruled. So to combat that I've found my way back to taking care of my skin. I've also upped the amount of sheet masks I use weekly. I use from 4-5 masks a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). I live in an area where it can get pretty chilly and windy so my skin loves it when I use sheet masks.

So I am planning on updating weekly of what sheet masks I use all in one post. I did buy another random sheet mask haul, but I'm also starting to lean towards buying 10 from one brand or stuff like that because I can get them for much cheaper due to buying in bulk.

I'm having trouble trying to take good pictures of the sheet masks. Indoor lighting isn't as nice as natural lighting, but it's getting too cold for me to just walk outside to take sheet masks pictures ;(
So...I hope you guys don't mind crappy lighting. I'll probably end up picking out a whole week's worth of sheet masks and taking pictures then in order to get better lighting for you guys.

Sheet Mask Weekly 1

HELLO HELLOWWW!

My last post detailed said that I will be doing a review of my sheet mask weekly. This is the first one. Let me know if this sort thing interests you guys and what else I should include in my review.

As I started this blog on a Friday...or so I will only be able to review one mask.

The mask that I'm reviewing this week is by innisfree.

Innisfree markets themselves as a natural company. A company that uses natural ingredients. They say that they use ingredients from Jeju. They are also trying to help the environment by reducing carbon emission and recycling.
They claim that their skincare uses 70% natural ingredients.

I like that. Whenever possible I would rather be using natural ingredients on my face versus chemicals.

So the mask for this week is innisfree tea tree. I had it refrigerated for about an hour - two before using it. TIP ALERT: Refrigerating your mask before using it can also help reduce redness.

Benefits of tea tree

• curing acne 
• it is antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal 
• which means that it can get rid of the bacteria that is causing acne (*cough cough* every time you touch your face with your hand you are adding germ onto your face) 

Mask itself

• it didn't have as much serum in there as I thought 
• there was a good amount, but there wasn't a bunch of excess 
• I left it on for 30 min and it was interesting to see...my mask was actually starting to dry. I don't usually see them dry after 30 min. So I was disappointed. 
• mask didn't rip when I opened it (I have yet to use a mask that rips when I use them though) 

The Results

I wasn't disappointed in the mask after seeing the result. I removed the mask and patted my skin softly for the serum to absorb. (Don't wash the mask off unless the direction tells you to do so) I definitely noticed that my face was less red. The swelling of some of my pimple went down. I noticed that my skin was brighter and looked much more moisturized. 

I give this mask a 

It works, but because the mask started to dry out before 30 min was up I didn't really enjoy that. It did work though so maybe it is a mask that is more for sitting on the face for 10-20 minute. 

Sheet Mask Weekly

Hello again!

I think I will create a weekly sheet mask used posts...each week. I use sheet mask 2x a week and this is a good way to keep track of what worked for me and what I thought of each sheet mask. I buy my mask in a random lot by brand so I have a better guarantee that my masks are random. Let me know which brands you want me to try out.

I have 21 masks at the moment. I am buying more once I return from my vacation. In my weekly skincare routine I use sheet masks on Wednesday and Sunday after deep cleaning my face with a clay mask. 

Wednesday clay mask is Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque 

Then on Sunday I use GlamGlow Supermud clearing treatment 

As you can see both masks are well loved and are hitting near bottom (T.T) 

By using a deep cleaning mask before my sheet mask I feel as though I am removing all the gunk from my pores beforehand and then once I put on my sheet mask my skin can absorb the nutrients from the sheet mask much better.
