Skinfood Avocado Rich Essence Mask Sheet

23 g/sheet, 2000 won, $195/ 5 sheets, 125 NT / sheet

Ever since the weather start to change, my skin suffers... fine lines, face oil and etc... all these annoying things come back on my face... well it's probably time to switch to a winter set of skincare~

However, if you don't wanna spend more money on moisturized products, you can try the Avocado Rich Essence Mask Sheet~

Avocado is considered to be a moist fruit rich in Vitamin A, D, E, proteins and avocado oil. It's super easy to be absorbed, helps recover softness and elasticity in your skin, and reduce fine lines.

The sheet mask itself it made with superior cotton, high level of penetration into your skin. The essence also contains Hyaluronic Acid which locks moisture into your skin.

Same as the toner and emulsion, it smells like berry (very fruity). After using the mask sheet, there's a thin layer of oil left behind, I guess that's avocado oil, leaving my face moisturized.

THE FACE SHOP Hyaluronic Acid Mask Sheet

1000 won

I happen to pass by a subway station and THE FACE SHOP has buy 5 get 1 free + free samples.

I just randomly picked a few.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

- an important substance in the human skin that maintains skintone, moisture and radiance

- without hyaluronic acid, your skin will face dryness, fine lines and wrinkles

- has a high ability to lock moisture, 16 times more powerful than that of collagen! 

- 1g of Hyaluronic Acid can absorb 500 cc of water

- has 500-1000 times moisture absorbing ability

- power hydrating and moisturizing ingredient

- stimulates cell renewal, smoothens and softens your skin, also good for scars and acne

- popular ingredient found in skincare

The mask sheet contains a lot of essence, is oil free and smells refreshing

There's enough essence to cover my neck.

But after 30 mins, my neck is really sticky... maybe I applied too much essence?

It does make my skin feel smooth, soft and moisturized! 

It's also good for sensitive skin or acne skin.

The packaging is quite nice, they avoided the glossy type of packaging... 

compared to the Etude House Hyaluronic Acid Mask Sheet, I think I like the Etude House better

However, the smell is very perfumey!!
I feel like I am applying perfume on my face?? 
Also, the cutting of the mask sheet is weird.. it seems to be too big for the average girls..

Etude House Vitamin C Sheet Mask

20g, 1000 won 

Ingredients include 20 mg Vitamin C & 200 mg lemon extract, which aids in whitening, hydration, provides anti-oxidant, brightens skin tone and brings radiance.

Using it before sleep helps get your skin ready for the repairing and renewal process.
Using it before make up helps your make up stay on your face better.

The mask contains lots of essence, quite watery, can't smell any vitamin C. 

Personally, I don't find Vitamin C quite helpful in terms of whitening...

Directions:

wash and dry your face --> toner --> Apply Vitamin C mask for 15-20 mins --> lotion/ cream
*** The mask contains essence and replaces the serum ***

Benefits for Vitamin C to your skin: 
- aids in collagen production 
- reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- protects your skin against UVA/ UVB so you don't get red spots 

Vitamin C is an unstable vitamin, once it gets in contact with light or high temperature, it gets damaged. 

It is a vitamin that the human body cannot product, so we must absorb from other sources such as food, supplements and skincare.  An average adult needs ~40g Vitamin C per day, which is equal to 1 orange, 1 peach or 1 kiwi. Those who smokes need 2x as much Vitamin C as someone who doesn't smoke.

This was a Gift with Purchase when you spend 30,000 won
This is so far the 10th item I have tried in this line.
I am in LOVE with the Innisfree Olive Line !! 

Th hand glove mask is made with non-woven fabric which effectively locks water moisture to your skin and at the same time, enable your skin to breathe.

First, wash and dry your hands, put on the non-woven hand mask just like how you would put on gloves.
Make sure your skin is in contact with the mask, cause the size of the glove is quite big, so there may be  spaces in between.
Put on the plastic gloves so the essence from the hand mask wouldn't evaporate
Wait ~15 mins and meanwhile you can watch TV =)
My hands feel moisturized afterwards!
It can last for 1-3 days

It also contains hydrolauronic Acid which increases and locks moisture to your skin.

I took the mask from the bag and noticed that it's not white... the colour is a bit brown... that's probably the color of the essence

Very strong Chinese medicine smell, but it doesn't annoy me~ it doesn't stink...

There's lots of essence in the mask, enough for the face, arms, legs.... or you can even put it back into the original packaging, put it in the fridge and use it for a second time.

it feels sooo cool after applying it under my eyes
suitable for those with dark eye circles, tired eyes or those who just cried and had red swollen eyes

The first time I used it, I thought it was a dry sticker...
but after some investigation... the surface of the mask is dry
the other side (bottom) has a layer of icy jelly-like essence
the "coldness" helps to refresh and cools your eyes
after applying for ~15 mins, my eye area feels so cold!!
the layer of essence looks obviously thinner
my eyes are not as tired
for best results, I recommend using for at least 1 week, 7 days in a row

DHC has a similar eye mask which costs ~$10 USD for 6
not that expensive, but I still like this one more

Etude House Vitamin C O2 White Mask Sheet

9800 won/box, 4 sheets/box

My supplier send me 2, got it for free when entering Etude House in Korea!

The size of the mask isn't too small.... it's in 2 pieces, top and bottom

top﹕ 24 cm x 13cm

bottom﹕ 24cm x 9.5 cm

24 cm isn't too bad, but don't know why it feels so small.....  

most sheet masks are ~25-26 cm wide...
wow... that 1-2cm really does make a difference!!

The only mask I've tried that's split into top and bottom is the Laneige Water Bank Mask Sheets.
I've tried many whitening sheet masks... for most of them, after using it, your face will look obviously white and healthy, but it can only last ~1 day....
I suggest using it for emergency purposes, or using it prior to a date =)


The sheet mask contains a light lemon scent that comes from Vitamin C, it's non-irritating, but still..... people who have sensitive skin should be careful using this product.
I love the packaging!! It has snow~~ I love snowflakes ha ha

Overall, I am pretty happy with the result, I will consider buying it again.
