The fit of this mask is one of the best I've tried so far for my face. It actually cover my under eye area and nose, which is rare. Especially my nose, which is bigger, can often make the mask pull away from the skin and just hang on the top of the nose. Mouth hole is the only part that is a bit too big for my face. 

This mask is also drenched in essence and there's a lot of leftover essence in the bag, so don't throw that away. I usually use it as an essence in the morning or in the evening next day. 

A tip for you to really get the most out of these sheet masks is also to squeeze the mask once you take it off your face. I find that there's still a lot of essence left in the mask and I squeeze it out and apply on my neck, decolletage and even body. No need to waist it.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

This is a regular clay based mask. It's very cheap. This one is great for anyone with oily skin. It does a good job of cleaning the pores, so I love to use it at times when I have pimples or any nasty blackheads. It can be a bit drying, if you're skin is not oily, so be sure to moisturize after using it. 

It's very thick. To the pint, when it's hard to squeeze it out. It's one of those typical green clay masks, that you see in TV show scenes. You really need to smudge it nicely around the face, because it's very thick. If you use a thin layer, it will dry faster. You can see it drying, because it's becoming more of a lighter mint shade and it makes your face look like a Sahara desert. It feels pretty tightening on the face. 

It smells herbal with mix of mint. This is perfect for summer, because it almost feels a bit cooling, due to the mint in it.

You can get it on iherb for 3.90$ and you get 226 grams of it. They've changed the design, so now it looks a bit different. I've had this for literally more than a year. It's just huge and it will last you for a really long time. 

Balea Aqua Tuchmaske

I actually already reviewed this product here. It's hydrating sheet mask. Those sheet kind of masks, have become really popular lately. I guess our lifestyle is making our faces and bodies dehydrated, so anything hydrating is a must in skin care. 

This mask comes in a sheet shape of face, with the cut outs for lips and eyes. It's very moist and cold to the touch. It feels refreshing and hydrating. I love the fact that it's really moist, so that when you're done with it, you are still left with some product, which you just massage it into the skin.

It's definitely my favorite hydrating mask. It doesn't have any particular scent, just fresh smelling. You get one sheet mask for the price of 0.99€. You can buy it in Drogerie Markt stores. 

Avon Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask

I found this mask by a coincidence. Once I ordered tester of it, just for the fun of it. I loved it so much, but I couldn't find it in the Avon catalog anymore. Finally, it came back. Avon loves to change their lines, but fortunately you can still get a hold of this one every now and then.

This one is again clay based mask, but seems a bit more sophisticated. It's great for deep cleaning the pores.

It has a light lavender color and it has a texture of a thicker cream. It spreads nicely and it's definitely not as thick as Mint Julep Masque. When it dries it becomes very white. It also has that tightening feeling and the cracked look to it. It actually gets rid of the blackheads completely, but of course they tend to come back pretty quickly on my skin type. 

It has a very nice subtle sweet spa line scent. Seems pretty calming. 

I would use this for when I have a lot of blackheads and clogged pores. Mint Julep Masque is better for when I have pimples and problems with oiliness (summer time), because it just seems to dry up the pimples. 

This one is definitely pricier. The regular price is 11.50€ and you get 75 ml of it. I highly recommend you to wait for when it's on sale, because then it costs only around 3.50€. You can buy it at your local Avon seller. 

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Gommage Face Mask with Dead Sea Minerals

Another great Avon mask, that I bought on a whim and found it very useful. It's a chemical peeling kind of mask. It uses acids to peel off top layer of your face and therefore making your skin a lot smoother. 

I love this one for one main reason. It only needs to sit on your face for 1 to 2 minutes. Music to my ears. I can slap it on, when I clean my face in the morning or evening, wait 2 minutes and I'm done. All other face masks require longer period of working time from 10 to 15 minutes, but this one is easy breezy. 

It comes out as an off white transparent and seems like a gel. It's still firm enough, so that it doesn't slip all around, but it's more on the thinner side. It spreads very smoothly and feels a bit sticky in the beginning. Then it dries to a completely non sticky layer, which is still shiny. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. 

It's also good for sensitive skin, because I don't experience any tingling or allergic reactions. Once you wash it off, you're left with ultra smooth skin. Isn't that just one of the best feelings ever? I love to use it when my skin surface gets a bit bumpy or when I tend to get dry patches. Very gentle chemical based mask.

The smell is somewhat manufactured like, not the most pleasant, but it's subtle enough, so that you won't notice it. 

This one costs 10.50€ for 50 ml, but as I said, wait for it to be on sale, because it's a lot cheaper. You can buy it at your local Avon seller. 

There you have my favorite masks. Just to recap. For when my skin feels dry, I love to use Balea Aqua Tuchmaske, because it's really hydrating. For when I get pimples, that are result of oilier skin I love to use Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque, because it dries up the pimples and cleans my pores. Blackheads are a stubborn thing, but Avon Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower mask gets rid of them completely, at least for some time. It's also a bit more gentle and not as drying as Mint Julep Masque. Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Gommage mask is great for times, when I get dry patches or my skin surface just feels bumpy. It makes my skin ultra smooth.

Since, I am not an expert on face masks and I actually don't use them a lot, I would love to hear what are your favorite face mask. Maybe I'll even expend my collection and start using them more.

Since I've been seeing those sheet masks all over the internet, I also wanted to give it a try. I saw that Balea had one for hydrating the skin and I gave it a go. It costs only 0.99€.

It's one sheet mask and it comes in this plastic bag. It's suppose to hydrate and pick up dull skin. It contains algal extract, almond oil and rose hip oil.

The ingredients list.

When you take the sheet out, you immediately notice that it's really wet. Some moisture even stays on the bottom of the bag. 

I find that it fits nicely on my face, but the eye opening could have been wider. It's so wet that it sticks on the face and doesn't move. It feels like a mixture of gel and water to me. It's really smooth and slippery, but not in any way like a cream. More like a hydrating gel. I leave it on for as long as I have time to and it does a good job of hydrating the skin. It's also pretty cool because of the water, so it's also a bit cooling.

When I take the mask off I'm left with a lot of product on my skin and it says to just massage the rest of it into the skin. It's all very cooling and hydrating and it feels lovely on the skin in those summer days. 

I feel like my skin did feel a lot more hydrated after I used this and the proof was another day when I woke up with nourished skin. I've mentioned in one of my previous posts that I recently had problems with very dry and irritated skin. As my last solution I used this mask (because I already used it once before and I really liked it). I swear my skin was perfect the next day. Yes, I did use some other products a few days before trying to combat the dryness, but this one did the last trick and it turned my skin back to normal.

Here you can see how the skin looked like before I put the mask on (with nothing on) and how it looked like after I took the mask off.

Think I'm done convincing you. It's 0.99€, just try it and do let me know how you like it. If you have problems with dry skin this is perfect and it's a great pamper product for when you're in that kind of mood.
