Hi all! I usually do my favorites post on Sunday, but I am a little late this week. The weather has been so nice in Kansas City, it’s hard to sit down and write!
I have still been testing fantastic products, including ones to help transition into spring. Below are fast working sheet masks for all types of skin issues, cute and slimming capri pants and a rose elixir:
Alba Fast Fix Sheet Masks ($3.49 USD) Individually wrapped, serum-soaked fiber masks contour to your face to deliver concentrated doses of active botanical ingredients. In as little as 5 minutes, skin experiences a powerful beauty-enhancing treatment! 100% vegetarian ingredients, no animal testing, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors or parabens.
- Coconut Water Hydrate Sheet Mask: an infusion of coconut water, cucumber and chamomile provide a mega-moisture oasis to return skin to healthy, hydrated happiness
- Camu Camu Anti-Wrinkle Sheet Mask: camu camu, cocoa and caffeine fight the good fight to help firm, tone and tackle those pesky lines and wrinkles
- Papaya Anti-Acne Sheet Mask: the zit-zapping trio of papaya, lemon balm and salicylic acid penetrate pores to give pimples their proper punishment
- Grapefruit Even Tone Sheet Mask: grapefruit, charcoal and turmericvanish visible pores, soothe redness and help lighten shadows, to give skin a soft, even glow
What I think: What I love about sheet masks are that they are so easy to apply and are finished in minutes. I tried the Grapefruit mask first and it soothed my sensitive skin and gave it a glow. My daughter liked the Papaya mask for her occasional acne. The Coconut Water mask is perfect for when my skin is very dry and the Camu Camu mask is great for ladies (like me) who need to firm skin.
