The Face Shop Mask Sheets

6 years ago, I started using mask sheets. The brands included Dermal, Bio-essence, and some others (can't remember their names) bought from Guardian. After 6 months, I stopped due to laziness. 2 weeks ago, my second son went on a school trip to South Korea and bought me some THEFACESHOP skin care products. He was given a free essential mask sheet hyaluronic acid.

So, I decided to try again. When I took out the mask sheet, it was dripping wet with the essence. I was surprised as I had never experienced this before. I carefully put the mask sheet on my face. I wouldn't say it fitted perfectly. The width is ok but it is a bit too long for my face. I applied the additional essence leftover in the packet on my neck, hands and legs. After 20 minutes, I took off the mask sheet and "wow", my face looked brighter, smoother and hydrated. I was impressed!

A few days later, I went to THEFACESHOP outlet at IMM and bought the followings:-

a) essential mask sheet CO-Q10 for supple skin
b) essential mask sheet collagen for firm, hydrated skin
c) the imperial herbs - qi (energy) mask sheet Red Ginseng & Cnidium Officinale for elastic skin and
d) a power treatment gel mask for firming & wrinkle care.

The first 2 are paper masks that cost S$3.50 each, the 3rd one is cotton mask which cost S$6.50 and the last one is a gel mask which also cost S$6.50. As it is the GSS period now, I received 20% off. So far, I had tried the first 3 mask sheets and the results are really good. I am satisfied with their performances. My skin looks brighter and the pores have become smaller. I have not tried the gel mask yet. Will post the results after I try it. I had ordered 9 more different THEFACESHOP mask sheets, 1 Etude House aloe mask sheet and 2 Taiwan mask sheets from 2 separate online stores selling Korean products. I will definitely be more hardworking and use these mask sheets. There's a saying "The world has no ugly women, only lazy women".

Earlier, I mentioned that my son bought me some THE FACESHOP skin care products. They are:-

a) 美人图 BB Cream SPF 25 PA++ (45 g)
b) Flebeaute Collagenic Collagen C 703 Cream (50 ml)
c) Natural Sun Super White Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ (20 ml)
d) Flebeaute White Crystal Brightening Emulsion (20 ml)
e) Flebeaute White Crystal Brightening Skin Toner (20 ml)
f) Flebeaute White Crystal Diamond Peeling (20 ml)

I have used items (a) to (e). Every morning after cleansing (I used the sample Flebeaute Collagenic Collagen C Firming Cleansing Foam), I put on item (e), then Avene Hydrance Optimale Protective hydrating cream (a French product I have been using for the past 3 years), and then item (a). My face really looks brighter and moisturized. The dark circles under my eyes have lightened. I am thinking of trying TFS's eye masks later to see if they would help solve my dark circle problem totally.
