I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Food in skincare mask sheets!





Got an email to preview the first 3 items on September 20, the 4th on on October 15. In the past if I walk into a mask store or order mask online, I always avoid picking product that have advertised food in them, so this month will be a challenge-I'm up to it. I have only tried the Nature Republic's Acai Berry because it helps with Anti-Aging so let's see how this month mask sheets excel or fail on my skin.

The Results:

  • Botanical farm green tea mask - This is a new brand to me. I was happy about the choice of Green Tea given to me because my skin is prone to inflammation. But the smell of denatured alcohol hit my nose hard when using it.
  • Mediheal A Mask-Cocoa ADE - My first thought - Cocoa? Not sure how it will do on my skin. I don't think I will need more hydration for my combination skin so I will give this to me sister.  



  • Esfolio Egg Essence Mask - I have tried the pearl and volcanic version from the Esfolio brand. No complaints for this egg one. It doesn't smell like eggs so don't worry. 
  • Rainbow L'Affairs - 3-step mask always makes me think it's spa-like and takes too much time. This mask is good for a weekend relax time.
 


  • Skin9 super puppy whitening pack 
  • Skin 9 Panda Honey Elasticity Pack 
These animal masks aren't only cute but moisturizing and helps with anti-aging if you used it in the long run.  
  • Skinfood everyday Facial Yogurt Mask- alot of essence and very moisturizing. Nothing to do with yogurt-good. The thickness of the mask sheet is like a thick toilet paper. This is the thickness that I have seen in all sheet mask.
  • Skinfood beauty in a jar tangerine - one word--hydrated. But I only lasted 10 minutes with it on before drying out. It has alot of the tangerine smell.
  • Beauty Friends II - just an everyday name brand, I have used about 5 types under this label. Not the greatest or the worst out there. 
 

Overall, I'm quite disappointed with this month. I feel like there was a couple mask sheets coming from the same brand and the mask weren't very strong. But it was nice to see a few new brands this month.
