Albion Skin Conditioner Essential Paper Mask

Before I start to review this wonderful mask sheet, I would like to let you know that I am on #30daysmask little task of putting on different mask every night from mask sheet, mask gel or sleeping mask. I have most photos at Instagram.  Find me @inner_luxurious xx. 

Albion Skin Conditioner Essential Paper Mask (11ml x 1sheet) is a a skin conditioner essential paper mask that maintains the health of skin that is prone to losing its' equilibrium due to changes in the season, climate, etc. Provides moisture to skin damaged by UV rays or skin that tends to be dry and conditions it to produce beautiful skin with innate whiteness and translucency. 

Take folded paper mask out of aluminum sachet and unfold. Place upper part of mask on forehead and press contours of mask lightly from top to bottom to fit gently to entire face. Adjust slits to fit cheeks and lower jaw and pat lightly with palms to make mask adhere closely to face. Leave for 15-20 minutes and remove. Massage the remaining essence till it is absorbed. Follow up by a moisturiser. 

Here's what I got from the Albion Skin Conditioner website:

Six Reliable Effects of the Skin Conditioner:

1. Breakouts, irritability - Adds firmness and moisture to skin that tends to be dry.

2. Clarifies - Cleanses skin, leaving it bright and clear.

3. Wards off flushes after sunburn or snow burn - Cool sensation wards off flushness.

4. Draws skin tight - Keeps makeup in place.

5. Wards off pimples - Removes sebum so skin doesn't feel oily.

6. Fresh, youthful skin - Comfortably hydrates, so skin feels fresh and pleasant.

My thoughts:

Mask sheet quality: The mask sheet is not like the usual rough papery thin kinds, but one that is paper mask with 'disconnected part' on top of your lips and I cannot see the purpose of the design.  I could also tell that all of the essence was held inside the mask sheet itself, just like soaking thin papers.  But I am happy, the essence is not dripping wet. Rating: 6/10

Mask fit: The mask is also a very good fit but I spent a lot of the time to get this mask fit and sit properly in my face hence do not fit me well. For this mask, I couldn't continued with my own activities (aka taking photos for this post), and despite standing upright, the mask will slide down slowly and also midway it will 'open up' especially near the mouth area and not as stick. Rating:6/10

Essence scent/texture: I personally find Albion Skin Conditioner Is slightly overpowering for my nose.   The skin conditioner was light and non-sticky with the mask on, the liquid tend to dry up after 15-20mins. Rating: 6/10

Efficacy/Results: this is a popular Japanese Brand mask and so far the only paper mask that I have tried and I couldn't compare with mask sheet or even gel mask.  But you can tell from my photo that my skin was pampered, re-hydrated, and plumped.  My skin just felt soft, cool and moist. Rating: 6.5/10
