It’s really tough being a woman and maintaining a certain beauty and skincare regime. Oftentimes, it requires so much effort, determination, discipline and a whole truckload of moneh. As much as a vainpot I may seem, there are so many occasions when I just wanna drop dead like a sack of potatoes into my bed and not move. And those are the times that cleansing waters and sleeping packs come in so handy.
I say…
First of all, I’m pretty impressed with the packaging – it comes with a separate compartment for the spatula, which is even better constructed than my SK-II and Sulwhasoo spatulas.
- The product is really fragrant but there isn’t a specific scent – it’s more like a relatively strong floral fragrance (that’s supposed to help you relax with some aromatherapy). I’m not fussed about it cos it smells naise.
- The gel-cream has that waxen solid-liquid gel feel that emulsifies into many liquid droplets once you rub it into your skin.
- Because of this quality, I tend to apply too much product, only to find that once it emulsifies, I’ve got a whole lotta liquid on my skin.
- It is relatively quickly absorbed – just pat the liquid droplets gently and it’ll be absorbed.
- However, it still takes a slightly longer time than other sleeping masks, such as the Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask to be fully absorbed by the skin.
- Still, it’s a way faster alternative than going through the usual toner, emulsion, serum, cream and what-nots.
- I can see (and feel) that it leaves a film-like barrier over the skin (see photo above), which I assume is to keep the moisture in your skin.
- I do get a slight face-stuck-to-the-pillow feel cos it takes a while to absorb.
- The next morning, my skin feels slightly more hydrated (I sleep in an airconditioned room). My face also feels slightly firmer when I poke it with a finger. hohoho.
Overall, I’d say this is good for those with dry skin. Even if you’ve got combi-oily skin like I do, it doesn’t mean you should scrimp on hydrating products. I apply it once a week or a fortnight, or whenever I feel like I’m shrivelling up like a raisin.
