Mirabelle Facial Sheet Masks – Berries and Rose

Swathy · May 17, 2019 · 2 Comments

I have never been a great fan of sheet masks earlier. Even though they are less messy, I find them inconvenient to use and I do not like the fact that they do not treat the neck and decolletage. Also, they are pretty expensive for just a one time usage. And, then, I came across these mirabelle facial sheet masks on my trip to NewU recently. There was a buy 2 get 1 offer going on so I picked a few.

For now, I have used only berries and rose. Coconut is still lying in my fridge. I like to store my sheet masks in the fridge during summers so they feel pleasantly cool when put on the face. And, I absolutely love these sheet masks. I find them better than other sheet masks I have used previously including the uber popular SKII facial treatment masks.

My Review

Let me start with the mirabelle facial sheet mask rose. It smells amazingly of real roses and is extremely soothing on skin. The berries variant is also nice but it has no particular smell attached to it. There is one sheet mask per packet and it has extra serum which you can use the next day for an intense overnight mask effect.

Winters are lovely! But, there are few things which come with the season which can make it a little difficult to live with. Be it excessive dryness or increase in inflammation of the body or static electricity, winter has its own share of skin problems to deal with. One of the major grouches for some is combating more acne in winter, surprisingly! Usually we associate acne and breakouts with summers when it is hot, sweaty and humid but winter dryness is no less irritating for the skin. There are a few things however you could take care of in the season to keep acne in winter at bay.

Why you get more acne in winter?

1. Excessive Dry Skin.

Humidity levels drop significantly during the season especially in the drier climates leading to loss of moisture through the skin. Not using correct skin care products and taking too hot showers are also why your skin is getting excessively dry.

The result being our skin produces more sebum to counter the dryness and one tends to apply excess of moisturizer or use a heavy moisturizer instead which leads to clogged up pores resulting in acne in winter.

Forest Essentials Kumkumadi Teenage Night Cream

Again, one of my whimiscal pickups and this was purely on the basis of its heavenly smell. The forest essentials kumkumadi teenage night cream is not only meant for teenagers but I believe other age groups can also reap its benefits. Let me explain it in the post and I would also mention that this is not exactly a review but more of a discourse on the product.

Forest Essentials Kumkumadi Teenage Night Cream

Price : Rs 1,975 for 30 gms

For me, the kumkumadi teenage night cream is one of the inexpensive products from the brand. It smells amazing though it can be a bit too strong for sensitive noses. I do not like strong smells but somehow this agrees with me and the good part is that this smell does not linger long on the skin either.
