This mask sheet was one of the Given by Nature series of NR's face mask line. Given by nature has tons of different masks to choose from, there's about 9-10 if i'm correct, all of which are nature/ plant based. This certain mask costs about Php65, pretty cheap compared to the other masks and perfect for use twice in a week.
Here's the list for the other Given by Nature line masks and its benefits. And according to this, Tea tree's benefit was to keep the skin smooth and blemish free.
Instructions on how to use the mask, well basically you just stick it on your face after opening the package, but do make sure to clean/ wash your face prior to this (click the picture for a larger view), and let it sit there for about 10-15 minutes. Ingredients were written in the back of the package as well. I was glad to find that it was written in English because this is a Korean brand as you know. Its such a relief that i can understand something out of all the Korean stuff that's written in there, makes me feel a lot comfortable about using it i guess. And besides that was a good move since they're going international after all.
This is how it looks on me after i wore it (forget about the eyes and lips, i wasn't ready to show the world my not so glorious face just yet LOL *shy*). The mask itself was pretty thin and was sticking to me like a second skin when i put it on. The material it was made from easily ripped though when i tried to really rip it (yeah it was intentional~) but that wasn't such a bad thing, its not like its reusable and at least it would easily be recycled. It held on like the good mask that it was til the end anyway.
The mask didn't have such a good fit on me though, but i understand that it was because it was standard for all the shape of face that one can think of. It was still good nevertheless and it was big enough to modify to fit your face anyway, that's why i ripped it in the first place.
It has a barely there scent, of tea tree perhaps or whatever, which was a good thing because it makes the mask even more tolerable to wear (not that it isn't). I even tried smelling the inside of the package itself because i was wondering whether they put any scent on it, it was that mild!
I didn't really like the feeling that it gave me after i took it off. You know the feeling of having a slime off your face but you're not suppose to take it off? I had really wanted to wash my face after but endured for a few minutes then just proceeded to wipe it off (the better option than washing and take off all the good products) because it was taking too long to dry and i hate the icky feeling. My face felt better after, smooth even! A bit on the oily side though but we all know it wasn't really oil, but the tea tree solution (it does feel a bit that way though). Didn't find major changes like having all my pimples gone and stuff but what do you expect? It doesn't work that way.. LOL..
PROs:
- its cheap
- its tea tree~ who doesn't like tea tree right?
- the mask is thin (but it holds all the tea tree goodness nevertheless)
- very mild scent
- comfortable to wear
- English instructions at the back
- leaves the face feeling smooth
CONs:
- icky feeling after taking it off, people who uses masks regularly probably go through this all the time.
WOULD I REPURCHASE?
Probably, if i weren't too lazy.
You must know that i categorize the 'would i repurchase' part as:
- Something i would get in a heartbeat. (Pretty understandable right?)
- Probably, if i weren't too lazy (Which means that i like it, but not enough to make me want to buy it for all eternity. Would repurchase only if i feel like it.)
- Ugh, NO. (Yeah you get the point..)
