SHEET MASK | The Body Shop Vitamin E, Aloe and Vitamin C Sheet Masks

Purchased by me

Well, it has been a busy/tiring last few days hence the extra late #SheetMaskSunday post! I went out for the friend’s birthday party on Saturday night and had a great time. Something that I feel I haven’t had in a REALLY long time! It was great fun, I even had a whole Bellini (I don’t really drink) and then decided to walk home at midnight to which my husband said “it’s dark, I’ll come meet you!” Sunday started off reeeeeallly slowly and then around 1pm, my husband and I realized that we really needed to get started on our office organization again which meant preparing for an afternoon of IKEA frustration, but in the space of 5 hours, we managed to build our shelving unit, move some furniture around, wash the walls and I could then start filling things up! It’s midnight and I am still working on things so it’s evident that once I get going, I cannot stop!

I picked up these Body Shop sheet masks while I happened to be in the mall one day as it had been a long time since I had tried a Body Shop sheet mask. The last one I tried was the Youth Concentrate Mask which I don’t think is around anymore, but was a good one! At the time, The Body Shop only had one sheet mask and now there are more to choose from which was fun for me! I literally grabbed all three of these masks in a very systemic way and just walked straight to the checkout! No need to sell me on them!

For the mask selfie photos, all three masks had the same design so I figured there was no need for me to take three different sets of photos. What makes these masks extra nice is that they are biodegradable and suitable for all skin types!

What makes this mask special? This radiance-boosting mask contains vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid. While the ascorbic acid hovered around the mid-point of the ingredients list, this was my favourite mask of the trio and one where I saw glowy results INSTANTLY!

Mask Summary:

Price: $7 CDN

What it does: Leaves skin hydrated, awakened and healthier

Scent: Floral oranges

Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous

Duration: 15 minutes, but I left the mask on for 25 minutes with no issues.

Thickness: Medium, but the hold of the mask was pretty good.

Mask Fit: A little too big for my face with deep wrinkles around the chin

Tackiness: Very minimal

Hydration: Good!

Other notes: Not much essence left in package. Only 18mL of essence inside vs 20mL-30mL in other sheet masks, but this mask had an AMAZING glow upon removal!

What makes this mask special? We’ve got aloe, salicylic acid and cucumber extract that work together to soothe sensitive skin. This mask is also free of alcohol and artificial fragrance!

Mask Summary:

What it does: Leaves skin hydrated and soothed from external aggressors

Scent: Aloe

Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous

Duration: 15 minutes

Thickness: Medium, but the hold of the mask was pretty good.

Mask Fit: A little too big for my face with deep wrinkles around the chin

What makes this mask special? This mask has wheat germ oil, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, aloe and of course, vitamin E to really hydrate thirsty skin. This was my second favourite mask as I found it hydrating, but not as tacky in residue as the Aloe Mask.

Mask Summary:

Price: $7 CDN

What it does: Leaves skin hydrated, softer and more smooth

Scent: Cotton

Essence Type: Lotion-like

Duration: 15 minutes but I left the mask on closer to 30 minutes with no issues.

Thickness: Medium, but the hold of the mask was pretty good.

Mask Fit: A little too big for my face with deep wrinkles around the chin

Tackiness: Less than the aloe mask, but more tacky than the vitamin C mask.

Hydration: Good!

Other notes: Not much essence left in package. Only 18mL of essence inside vs 20mL-30mL in other sheet masks.

Final verdict: I would hands down repurchase the Vitamin C Glow Sheet Mask and perhaps the Vitamin E one. The Aloe mask was just a bit too tacky for me to deal with and as I do not have sensitive skin, this mask does not feel like an essential one for me to use regularly. I will keep my eye out for promos with the Vitamin C mask though!
