Beauty Guru
This is a black sheet mask which fits pretty well on my face with the cut outs for eyes, nose and mouth. The first thing I notice is that it smells like something from childhood, I THINK it's Mercurochrome or something that smells just like it i.e. alcohol. (Mercurochrome is an anti bacterial liquid that is bright red and our teachers at primary school used to put it on our cuts and scrapes in the playground.)
This mask is left on for fifteen minutes and you are advised to either rub the residue after the mask is removed into your skin or you can rinse it off. This mask contains some good ingredients and some not great ones too; namely fragrance, alcohol and phenoxyethanol. It does leave a bright, 'clean' appearance to the skin and it definitely was hydrated, plump and youthful looking. I would prefer to have the least amount of irritating or damaging ingredients in my skincare and the intense alcohol smell was not comforting to me, despite the cosmetic appearance of my skin looking fresh and plump.
I will not recommend this mask for the damaging ingredients included in this mask. When you can smell that alcohol in the intensity I did, just is not acceptable.
