Recently I have been obsessed with face masks. Ever since the girl at Sephora put the little doodad up to my face and it read that I actually have mostly dry skin with only patches of oil, I have been determined to keep it hydrated. So far hydrating my skin regularly is definitely making my face look better. So I guess there is something to the saying "hydrate, hydrate, hydrate."
Well, I decided to try the Yes To Coconuts sheet mask without having read any reviews. I just grabbed one in CVS one day and thought because I love some of their other products that the sheet mask would be awesome and what a plus that it's inexpensive. WRONG.
The minute I opened it I could barely stand the strong "coconut" smell. I put that in quotations because it was definitely a fake smell of coconut and not natural. Upon trying to fit it on my face I realized that the face holes were also oddly placed. It didn't fit my face perfectly, but no big deal, many of the paper masks don't. Well, once I got it on it took less than 10 seconds before my face started to burn. I mean, BURN. I had to immediately take it off and rinse my face! I was very disappointed that I had spent any money at all on it. My face was so irritated from that short amount of time that I had to break out my tried and true Nugg peppermint face mask. Thank goodness for some leftover Nugg pods.
Whatever you do, read reviews before buying anything for your skin. Pulling the link for the Yes To Coconut mask, I found horrible reviews that had a common issue: burning skin. I wrote my own review. They really should take it off the market. It's that awful. For now, I will stick to Nugg. They are a little pricier, but I have never tried one that has let me down and my skin always looks amazing afterward.
