The Face Shop Real Nature Acai Berry Sheet Mask Review
, it’s a pretty good price. I love how easy these type of masks are: just unfold the sheet, put in on your face and after 20 minutes or so, take it off and your done! You don’t have to wash it off or moisturize afterwards. These are extremely convenient and very effective. Application:
To use, your supposed to wash ur face and use your toner first. The sheet feels very cooling and relaxing. The mask is a bit too large for my face, but it’s not much of a problem. Also, it does slip a bit, so it’s best to use while lying down. This I don’t mind because I love to take this time to close my eyes and relax. This being said, you don’t HAVE to lie down to use this, sitting up with the mask on just requires you to adjust the mask sometimes. And theres's quite a lot of leftover essence, which I like to pat onto my face, neck and body.
Ingredients:
There is a slight fragrance. It’s listed last on the ingredient list so there shouldn’t be a great quantity of it in the mask. I find the holes for eyes to be a bit small as my eyes are quite large, so the mask gets really close to them. I have extremely sensitive eyes and they water very easily, so this sometimes results in very slight irritation near my eyes and a bit of watering. The smell is pleasant though: a soft floral scent.
One of the first few ingredients listed is Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract, therefore this is one of the main ingredients. Acai berries are rich in anti-oxidants, which are known to help firm the skin and prevent aging. This antioxidant helps promote skin repair and keep the skin soft. One of the downsides of this product is that it contains parabens, which is a controversial preservative used in cosmetics. Parabens have an ability to mimic estrogen, which is a female sex hormone. Studies found parabens in breast cancer tissues, which suggests a possible link between parabens and cancer. However, more research is required to make a conclusion.
Here is a full list of the ingredients: Water/Eau, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Alcohol Denat., Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phaseolus Radiatus Extract, Betula Platyphylla JaponicaBark Extract, Rumex Crispus Root Extract, Carbomer, Phenyl Trimethicone, Peg-60Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Triethanolamine, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Parfum/Fragrance.
Results:
Immediately after use, I noticed a dramatic difference in my skin. The redness caused by irritations on my skin is almost completely gone. My skin looks and feels extremely refreshed and nourished. At first, it feels slightly tacky, however, once the serum absorbs completely into the skin, it isn’t sticky at all. Like the claims, my skin does feel firmer, though I cannot attest to that as a 19 year old. This, although my skin is very sensitive, isn't irritating at all.
I love to use this especially when my skin is troubled. This really helps to calm and heal the skin. I literally see a difference right after one use. For instance, once I had an really bad rash on my forehead from threading (sensitive skin problems). My skin was very red and irritated. I tried everything to get it to calm down, a ton of masks, aloe vera gel, vitamin E, and nothing made a difference! One day, I decided to use the sheet mask, not expecting any results. But I was so surprised to see that my rash had calmed down significantly after just one use of the mask. A lot of the redness was gone, and the bumps noticeably decreased in size. The next day was when I saw the real results, my rashes almost completely diminished; most of the redness was gone, and the bumps decreased dramatically!Note, after taking off the mask I kept reapplying the remaining serum onto my skin. I patted a generous amount of the leftover serum onto my skin and after it soaked in, I reapplied another layer, and kept doing so.Conclusion:
Overall, this is a great inexpensive sheet mask. It’s very nourishing, helps calm irritations and firms the skin. It’s perfect to use for any skin types. Out of all the masks from The Face Shop that I have tried so far, this is by far the most effective one I have found yet. If I had to recommend one product from The Face Shop, this would defiantly be it!
