In my previous post I had said that I was in a bit of a blogging slump, and I've taken the first step to getting out of it by publishing my previous blog post. YEY! Here's another one for you all!

In the days that I didn't know what to blog or even feel like blogging, I had not masked, but I.m getting back in track. I've masked almost the whole week, double masking with sheet masks on one day, sheet masking after a wash off the next. Yup, I even used clay masks, which I have three new products that I am currently testing, blog will be up in a few weeks. Not sure if I have mentioned it, but I sheet mask at least twice a week. AT LEAST, twice a week. My skin will not forgive me if I forget, and this is based on experience. Sometimes, I don't use the same sheet mask every week because I have dozens of different kinds that I test every week.

For this week, today specifically, I chose to use the Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Black Berry.

What is Innisfree?

As I have mentioned in my previous post, Innisfree is a "Korean beauty brand that focuses on natural ingredients. Their products have 70% natural ingredients, and 1% of annual profits go to 'neighbors' ".

Claims:

“Moisture from squeezed black berries that are full of nourishment to keep the skin healthy.” This means your skin oil levels will be replenished, and the nutrition your skin needs for that healthy glow will be replenished.

What is a Black Berry?

Black berries not only help with digestive health, but it also helps with immune defense, heart function, aids in memory, weight management, and keeps the skin healthy. How? It hydrates the skin, fights free radicals with antioxidants, treats wounds because it has a bit of an astringent quality, it has vitamins that helps rejuvinates skin, and it's great for a skin detox for oily skin. Heeh, heeh, Oily skin. yup. but black berry had me at antioxidants. This is why I chose this Black Berry mask this week. My skin was in need in nutrients.

Instructions:

As usual, this is what I do.

Double cleanse - oil cleanser first, cleansing foam second
Tone – I use a toner that has a bit of an exfoliating effect and hydrates at the same time
take out the sheet mask from the pack
fit mask on face
leave on for 20 minutes
remove mask (tip: remove mask from bottom to top)
Leave it as is, but you can continue with the rest of your skincare

The Mask:

The mask is actually the same as the Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Tea Tree sheet mask. A bit identical, really, unlike the Taiwanese sheet masks that I love (My Scheming).The material is the same breathable cotton sheet, which Innisfree's website describes as having 3 layers. The three layers is supposedly for better skin absorption, and that it should be breathable. I made that sound like you can breathe through the sheet mask. What I meant to say that the skin will be able to breathe through the mask, while fully absorbing the essence on the mask.

The Essence:

The Essence in this mask is not like the Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Tea Tree mask. The liquid that comes out from the pack is a tad bit milky. The Klavuu white pearlisation toner (review on the toner soon) comes to mind when I use this, but in a much thinner form. It is an essence, after all. The smell is not exactly like black berries. It reminds more of something clean. No, not detergent. That would be alarming for me. Also, this is also a bit sticker than the Tea Tree version.

My thoughts:

I am INLOVE with this sheet mask. It's so...light. It calms the dry parts of my skin, and adds nourishment to the oilier parts. This mask really helps boost the rest of my skincare when I use it after my essences and serums. This is one of the sheet masks that I had recommended to my friend, who has never tried sheet masks. She LOVED this one because it helped her one raging pimple, calm down and it helped reduce it in size. I actually think this is better for acne than the tea tree (no offense, tea tree lovers), and the Bija versions of Innisfree's It's Real Squeeze line. My skin felt plump, with or with out the use of my essences and serums. I absolutely did not break out or have any bad skin reactions.

My rating: 5/5 – I recommend this mask, especially for those with dry skin, and is new to sheet masking.
