Review: Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Masks

 

Back in September I reviewed the original Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask. It was the first sheet mask from the brand and it's popularity was outstanding. So with the sucess of their first mask and a relaunch of  their SkinActive skincare they released two more sheet masks to cater to the needs of different skin types.

At the moment there are only two new releases mask wise from Garnier but I could see it expanding in the future after seeing how well these have been recieved. The first is their Moisture Bomb Camomile Tissue Mask. Aimed at sensitive to dry skin types this mask doesn't contain the exact same ingredients as their sensitive skincare range but would fit in well as a once a week treatment. Containing Camomile as well as their key ingredient Hyaluronic Acid, this mask aims to soothe irritated skin as well as supplying skin with a week's worth of hydration.

And the other mask they released is the Moisture Bomb Green Tea Tissue Mask. This is aimed at comibnation/oily skintypes and fits in as a treatment within their new Green Tea skincare range. Containing Green Tea, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrating Glycerin this mask not only hydrates skin without creating excess sebum but also mattifies the skin and reduces the appearence of pores.

Both of these masks only need fifteen minutes to work their magic. These tissue masks are thin and lightweight on the skin. They sit comfortably on the skin and don't flap or peel when you move around. And whilst they're saturated in product they're not that saturated that it's dripping everywhere as you wear it which makes them great as you can actually carry on with your day instead of having to lie or sit in one place as it works.

As my skin is more sensitive/reactive than oily/combination I do prefer the Camomile mask over the Green Tea Mask. Unfortunately last month I was hit by a horrendous virus and my poor skin went through the ringer. It was dry, sensitive to touch and my redness was going into overdrive. And the Camomile mask was a skin saviour. After cleansing my skin with my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish I popped the Camomile mask on and took a twenty minute cat nap. Once it felt like the mask had given my skin all it could, I peeled it off and went for a good look in the mirror. Immediately I was impressed, my skin felt softer to the touch, looked less sore and aggravated and my redness whilst still there didn't look as bad as it had before.

The sheet mask trend is getting bigger every day and with every brand bringing out their own versions it's sometimes hard to chose the one that's best for your skin. And whilst sometimes it's necessary to pay more for skincare, for things like sheet masks there's no need to break the bank. Coming in at £2.99 each the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Masks won't disappoint you. Easy to use, results are instantaneous and packed with high quality ingredients these masks are sure to become holy grail products once you've tried them.
