Anneyong!! So I went to H-Mart the other day and I haven't been there in years! Why? Because I went to another market near my home. But since my parents invited me to go I had to say yes!
Guess what? There is The Face Shop right at the entrance and I had to swerve my cart and went in while leaving the cart. Hehe. It was worth it. I started loving The Face Shop a lot more recently. I find their products very intruiging and very well made. So I bought a face mask from them for the first time because I heard a few good things about it.
The one I bought is the Lemon face mask which is for tightening, brightening and whitening. Since this is the first time I am using this mask then I would say that this can be a first impression not exactly a full verdict. And I think that for a mask it is still possible to tell how it is despite it being used once. I can feel a difference and I will tell you all how it is.
My opinion: This product was an eye- catcher since it contains lemon extract. Lemon is good when it comes to whitening and brightening. When I opened it there was already a very nice smell that's not too strong. Since the texture of the face mask sheet was different from the one I usually use, I find it kinda tricky to handle. It took me a while to open the mask since it's folded. You don't need to peel it off from anything, the sheet itself is there alone and you just have to unfold it. It was a little big for my face, but it's not a problem. And it took me a good 2 minutes to get the mask on my face when usually it takes me probably less than 30 seconds. It felt so resfreshing and moisturizing! I felt my skin was so much more smooth!! :)
Pros: - Good price ($2 each in store)
- Package (pouch) is easy to open
- Moisturizing not oily
- Not too sticky, barely any stickyness
- Subtle fragrance, not too strong
- Use for only 10- 12 minutes
Cons: - Harder to unfold and apply on face
My skin type: Combination
Price: $2 a sheet
Overall rating: 4.8

This is the little bag it comes in. It is nice and easy to open. The instructions on the back are in
English and Korean.
Before: Just as a reference I also showed the right side of my face where I have acne scars before I use the mask. I cleansed and exfoliated my skin.
The consistency is watery and there is excess inside the bag after you pull out the mask save that excess for later! You can see the mask was a bit big for my face (my face is not small) and that's why there is lumps on parts of the sheet which did not lay down perfectly. This is fine, I just tap it on to my face.
After: My skin 10 minutes later definetly felt more smooth. This picture may not do much justice, but my acne scars and face in general does not seem as dull as before. Little brighter!
I have to say that this mask is great and I will go get more soon! Perhaps if there is a box then buy the whole box :). For those who have combination skin or skin which is more towards the oily side since it's summer, this mask makes your skin feel refreshing but not heavy. I know some products can be a little heavy based on my experience. After 10 minutes or so I took the mask off and let everything absorb. I made sure that I massaged everything into my skin. With the excess I poured it on to my hand to put on my face and neck too. It does not feel too sticky, and it is light. My skin felt more moisturized and slightly brighter. I am a happy camper!
That is all folks, anneyong! :)
