Gifted by a colleague
Sigh, it’s Sunday and I am taking my morning at an incredibly slow pace as I write this post as I am so very exhausted from my work week. There was a lot going on and I am peopled out, but at least there was no ridiculous workplace drama to contend with!
For this week’s Sheet Mask Sunday, I am going with a classic and longtime Korean skincare brand that I am so happy to see alive and flourishing even after all of these years! Mediheal has been a staple of my sheet mask routine for as long as I can remember and though packaging has changed, the products are still affordable and fantastic quality.
The E.G.T. Ampoule Mask
What makes this mask special? The EGT stands for “Enriched Glowing Tension” which means this mask is all about tightening, firming and nourishing the skin and uses Mediheal’s proprietary HYDRODEEPER complex to improve skin hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier. From looking at the solid ingredients list, my guess is that adenosine and multiple peptides are “where the money’s at”!
The sheet mask itself is made of 100% bamboo-derived cellulose and is soooo soft and silky to wear! It holds essence very well so you will feel nice and hydrated while this is on.
Mask Summary:
Price: 10 masks/$30 CDN or more
What it does: Tightens, firms and nourishes
Scent: Kind of like roses
Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous
Duration: 30 minutes
Thickness: Thin and soft
Mask Fit: Other than folding the nose up a little bit, this mask fit my face beautifully!
Tackiness: None, BUT I had to wait at least an hour for everything to absorb
Hydration: Very nice!
Other notes: N/A
The N.M.F Ampoule Mask
What makes this mask special? This mask is all about moisture, moisture and more moisture! There are EIGHT different types/sizes of hyaluronic acid, amino acids as well as the HYDRODEEPER complex.
This is a “cotton linter” mask which is a cotton/wool blend with the MEDIHEAL logo embossed on it. If you look closely on my cheeks you can see the logo which is also supposed to be a symbol of authenticity.
Mask Summary:
Price: 10 masks/$30 CDN
What it does: Relieves dry skin and boosts hydration levels
Scent: Cotton-y
Essence Type: Clear, lightly viscous
Duration: 30 minutes
Thickness: Thin and soft
Mask Fit: For this one, I didn’t have to fold over the nose piece so it fit really well!
Tackiness: None, but again it took a couple of hours for the essence to absorb.
Hydration: Really nice!
Other notes: N/A
Final verdict: I’m sure I will be using these masks again in the future and probably have the older packaging somewhere in my house, but they were wonderful and unless you really don’t like waiting for the tackiness to die down, I think anyone will enjoy them!
