I have wanted to try this mask for a while but $6 for one mask... was a bit much for me. Finally after seeing reviews of this mask I decided I should try it. I chose Hydra Bomb because I have very dry skin. Another reason that pushed me to finally try this was because I was having such a dry week that I thought I needed something more that my usual moisturisers.
First thought, a LOT of product. It was packed with the gel. Yay, that means I have left overs to use later. No strong smells. Great. I have sensitive skin as well so usually when there is a strong scent, that means there will be something my skin will react to.
The next thing that was a big YUSSS for me. The size. It fit nicely on my face! Although, this could be a negative for others. I have a small face. When I use a mask, it is pretty oversized for me and ends up covering my hair, or I fold it over, which is pretty awkward and I have to try and prevent the mask from falling off.. not such a relaxing experience. OR the area where my eyes or mouth is supposed to be exposed just doesn't fit nicely. This mask, a very nice fit. strangely felt like it was meant for my face size.
The result after using the mask?? Yes, yes, YES. Very very nicely moisturised skin! BUT without the ton of product sitting on my face. The next morning I definitely had a nice a bright face. I should be using this everyday.. really. I swear it would make a HUGE difference. But for now, once a fortnight for me. It is still a little pricey for me when I consider the other products that I have paid for to keep my skin nice and moisturised.
Immediately messaged my sister to try it. She tried it a couple of weeks later and loved it too!
I highly recommend it.
I love Garnier's range of single tissue masks which you can pick up from the supermarket as a $5-$6 treat. The Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask is my favourite so far. Fine lines and dehydration are my primary skin concerns and I love the pomegranate flavour.
This mask comes folded in a foil packet with a blue protective film on it that you peel off once you've got the mask on and are ready to begin moulding it to the contours of your face. It's a bit cold to apply but once you're used to it it's easy to just relax for 15 minutes and let the formula sink in.After removing the mask I massaged some of the excess formula into my face and neck before wiping off the remainder with a tissue. I not only felt like I'd had a treat but my skin did feel extra plump and hydrated for a good day or two afterwards.
