I had high hopes of joining the daily sheet mask club, doing
the #30daysheetmaskchallenge with a different mask each day but I realised that
(a) I’m five short and (b)
ain’t nobody got time for that.
Truth be told, I’m not very fond of sheet masks. I hate that feeling of cold wet
seaweed slapped on my face and I just can’t seem to make time for them! I
also question how much one can benefit from a bog-standard formula of butylene
glycol, aloe, fragrance, preservatives and 1% Albanian Rose extract (patent pending).
So partly for science but really to whittle down my skincare
hoard I set myself the target of using three masks per week. The aim: to
determine whether sheet masks should become a staple or whether I’m better off investing
in something super fancy like that $200 Ginseng cream from Sulwhasoo.
Unlike the blogging ‘schedule’, I’ve actually managed to keep
this up for three weeks, alternating between two brands of “anti-acne” masks:
the Leaders Mediu Amino Clearing Masks and LJH Tea Tree masks. (I’ll have a first
impressions post up soon, once I finish translating the ingredients.) I’ve been
using three of the same mask each week and will keep doing that where possible since
almost all of my masks come in packs of 5-10. I’m also trying to keep things
consistent by sticking to a “theme” each month. So once I’ve used the anti-acne
masks for a month, I’ll move on to the bee masks, then brightening masks, hydrating masks, etc.
Stay Tuned! :)
