The Face Shop – Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask Review

Hey Guys! Hope you all are having a good weekend.

I have got a new skincare product review for you all. So, recently I got my hands on The Face Shop Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask. I have been a huge fan of Korean skincare products and rituals. Their products are a result of extensive research and innovations, with gentle ingredients and are really effective on skin. The Face Shop is a South Korean cosmetic brand which was launched in India, last year. They make their products from natural ingredients and oriental medicines and are quite popular among beauty enthusiasts around the globe.

The Green Tea Face mask is a thin fiber mask sheet that is soaked or rather say drenched in an essence with green tea extracts, suitable for sensitive and other skin types. It claims to clarify and soothe the skin irritated by environmental stressors along with making it supple and soft, giving it a refreshing feel. It does not contain any added parabens. You can get this either from The Face Shop stores or from Nykaa. I got mine from Nykaa.

                   

This retails for INR 100 and has a one single use face mask sheet packed in a plastic envelope with approx. 20 ml of serum. The information behind the pack is mentioned in both Korean and English language, making it easy to understand and use.

Before applying the mask, I first prep my skin by cleansing and toning. The first good thing about the mask is it’s amazing floral fragrance that just refreshed my senses. The sheet was fully soaked in essence liquid with some of it dripping out of the sheet. I applied the mask for good 30 minutes, although it did not fit my face well and was quite large, which is usually the case with other face masks too! Later on I massaged my face with left out serum in the pack.

Review

My skin actually felt soft and supple, and yes it was hydrated too. Along with that I could feel the skin tighten. It was also very refreshing. As per the claims I was unable to notice any clarifying effects and the effects only lasted for two days. 

Overall, it was a good and refreshing sough of, a mini spa experience. 

Pros
Affordable
Without parabens
Makes skin soft & supple
Tightens the skin
Hydrates and soothes the skin
Refreshing
Plenty of serum
Pleasing fragrance

Cons
Effects do not last long
No clarifying or brightening glow
Does not even out the complexion
Dimithicone – Although the mask claims to be suitable for sensitive skin, presence of Dimithicone contradicts it as it causes irritation to the mentioned skin type.
