On my exciting Saturday night yesterday, instead of going out like most people to celebrate Halloween, I decided to stay in with my family, watch the Cubs games, and try out one of Sephora's popular face masks. I have been having some trouble with my skin lately. Feeling blemishes under my skin that had not come to the surface yet, and unwanted texture that I couldn't seem to get rid of.
After looking thru my skin care drawer, I stumbled upon Sephora's Green Tea Mask, which is said to help mattify the skin as well as help with anti-blemish agents in it. My skin is mostly dry with slight oil in the t-zone area, so I wasn't to concerned about the mattifying effects that it could provide. However, I was optimistic about the anti-blemish aspect in the hopes that it would help to pull some of the blemishes that were stuck under my skin and illuminate the undesired texture I was experiencing.
According to the Sephora website, the Green Tea Mask is supposed to "mattify and purify to soothe skin while minimizing shine and reducing the appearance of outbreaks." This mask is a sheet mask which is a mask that is a sheet of fabric with the solution soaked into the sheet with cut outs for your eyes, nostrils, and mouth. I usually leave sheet masks on for about 15-30 minutes depending on the type of mask and how my skin is feeling throughout the experience. I left this mask on for about 20-25 minutes. After removing the mask, I washed my face with my usual face wash and applied my night time moisturizer and face oil.
Directly after removing the face mask, my skin instantly feel smooth and soft to the touch and did not feel dried out or dehydrated due to the mattifying properties in the mask. In fact, my face didn't really look matte at all. This morning when I woke up, I checked my face in the mirror and a lot of the blemishes had surfaced and appeared smaller than the night before to my pleasant surprise. As well as, the skin on my face was still soft and smooth to the touch.
All in all, I would definitely recommend the Sephora Green Tea Face Mask for someone who is looking to pull-out and reduce the appearance of their blemishes as well as, helping smooth out the texture of their skin. If you are looking for a mask that is going to reduce oil, I am not sure that I saw such a big difference even in my more oily areas in my t-zone.
