innisfree
it's real squeeze mask
manuka honey
smells like beer
It has been a really busy month in October, and I have been seriously missing the beauty regime (RIP skin). I just got back home from my grandma's funeral last night, and it was both physically and mentally exhausting.
Anyways, I've tried getting some sheet masks from innisfree, and this particular one is what I really wanted to talk about when I used it this morning! I also got some other masks, but I will talk about them next time.
In this post, it's their manuka honey sheet mask from their 'it's real squeeze mask' series that I wanted to talk about, because of very special reasons.
The reason that I have gotten this mask was because I have been wondering how honey is used in skincare, because all I've been doing with honey is to eat them on its own, or to make drinks for bad throat (why did I not Google about it and make impulse purchases oh God). When I saw this on the shelves, I grabbed it right away!
And after all the busy October days, I decided to give this a try.
But the weird thing comes in - IT SMELLS LIKE BEER.
You did not hear it wrong.
It smells like beer.
I am not even kidding, when I opened the packaging, it didn't smell like anything strong, but as soon as I opened up the mask and bring it closer to my face, I've been wondering 'why does this smell like something that I used to drink' and only then, I realized it smelled like beer.
To be frank, I was hoping for a sweet smell of honey, or something with a nice fragrance, or smelling like the honey in my fridge. All I got was the smell of beer as I sniffed my way out of the packaging. I also googled around and see if it is normal to smell that way, and apparently the product does smell like alcohol to other bloggers as well, so... ^^:
Then again, I drink, so I didn't really mind the smell too much that I would refuse to try the product at all, so it's still good for me to give it a go. Had to be frank that I really can't hide the mini-disappointment of the lack of the sweet smell, though.
The recommended time to apply the mask was 10~20 minutes. I applied it for 15 minutes and the mask started to feel like it is drying up, so I took it off and pat my face and lightly massaged it in circles. The texture feels a little soft and smooth.
It's moisturizing, I'd admit that it somehow works. I also wanted to mention that I actually also searched around the internet to roughly understand that honey is actually a famous ingredient for hydration (also its usage for anti-inflammation purposes yaaaaaas did I mention that my cheeks started to have red, swollen patches since October idek why). My face also felt softer and isn't as red as I could remember anymore.
Compared to the sheet masks from Comelyco that I've tried, this one from innisfree does not give out as much as the sticky aftereffects. I personally find the sticky part irritating that I would want to wash it off as soon as possible, but they said that you are supposed to let the essence sink into the skin (did you mean absorb lmao).
Would I get this product again? Most likely, no. I actually have some other products that are more moisturizing (hey Hada Labo wink wonk ;) lololol) than a sheet mask, and I will stick to them until I can find a new mask.
For the rating, I'd rate it a 3.6/5 for this sheet mask. First, it isn't very cheap and the smell is kind of disappointing by a little. Its moisturizing and anti-inflammation abilities are there, but not significant. Thankfully, my skin did not feel any tingling or stinging sensation, which has been a blessing because I do know that there are people feeling that the product would sting on their skin. Somehow, my dad thought I snuck out for beer while he didn't notice too, so that's kind of a minus point too.
That's all for my post today! Until next time!
