Welcome to a new post!
I recently went on a German website called Sparwelt, where you can find really good offers if you want to save some money. There's also a page on which you have an overview of samples to sign up for, and I found this one for a new Garnier mask. As my favourite spot-reducing mask is from Garnier, I got pretty exited about trying it. This isn't sponsored by the way haha :)
To be honest, I had never tried a cloth mask before, so this was a whole new experience for me, which I thought would be really lovely to share. This is going to be a pretty small review, but I hope you enjoy it, as I feel like there's nothing better than a good mask during a pamper session! :)
The packaging says that the mask is supposed to be intensivly moisturizing and revitalizing, and give you a fresh and shiny skin, straighten fine lines and be easy to use. It's meant to be for pretty dry and 'tired' skin and moisturize your skin for a whole week.
I have a really nice app where you can check ingredients, called Codecheck - not quite sure if it's available anywhere apart from Germany though - and here are the results.
The mask includes 2 ingredients that are hormonally effective (Methylparaben and Propylparaben), another ingredient named is Pvm/ Ma Copolymer, which is makes it easier for all shitty bits that fly around to get into your skin. There are also 4 ingredients that are only recommended limitedly (is that even a word :D?). The other 17 are all good. That isn't too bad I guess, but I am really not the biggest fan of hormonally effective bits in the stuff that I put onto my skin - I've seen a lot worse though, so it's alright, I guess.
The mask is pretty pretty drenched in the serum, so be prepared for that. It stays on for 15 minutes, before you either take the excess off or massage it into your skin. I definitely have to say that I prefer putting the mask on the places that I need it, but it hasn't put me off of sheet masks completely.
It felt pretty pretty moisturizing once I had it on, and I had the serum everywhere. When I took it all off, and had massaged the last few bits into my skin, my skin felt a little weird, inbetween being full of last bits of serum and feeling a little dry. As soon as the last few bits were dry, my skin definitely felt a little dry as well. That lasted for a little while.
It is now about an hour and half after I took it off, and I actually feel like I look slightly more glowy, especially around my eyes and my nose, as I don't look as dead anymore. My skin doesn't feel dry anymore, but it doesn't feel moisturized either. It's pretty much back to normal, I would say.
At the end of the day I have to say, that my skin basically feels as smooth as it would be on a good day. I can't really say anything about the results for really dry skin throughout the whole day, as I've got normal skin, but it might help you slightly.
To sum it all up - a nice sheet mask if you fancy one but don't expect too much from it. I don't think I would buy it, but who knows, as it deffo wasn't terrible, just not good enough for what I expected. However, the other mask that Garnier sells, which heatens up on your face, is incredible! So have a look into that if you want something that does amazing work when it comes to spots.
What's your favourite mask? Do you prefer sheet masks or normal ones? Leave me some comments, I would love to find out :)
Have a great day ♥
Love, Jacqueline Xx
