[Review] Lindsay Rubber Mask - Tea Tree

Hello everybody! I'm back again with another review and this time it's the Lindsay Modeling Rubber Mask. It is widely known among the Korean skincare routine and it's been out in the market for a while now. I've been wanting to post a review on the modeling mask but I wanted to test it out for myself before doing a review. 

So here I am putting up a review after testing it out for a few months. The one I've tried are as below:

2 x Tea Tree
2 x Lavender
1 x Calendula 
1 x Vitamin C

I will be doing a review on the Tea Tree version of the Lindsay Modeling Mask.

Cool (Tea-Tree) Modeling Mask

 There are 8 different types of modeling mask by Lindsay available depending on your skin condition. 


(Photo cr:shopcoupons.my)

Collagen - Moisturizes and plumps up skin (All skin type)
Charcoal - Lifts up oil and dirts (Oily skin)
Calendula - Helps to nourish and moisturize skin (Acne prone skin)
Lavender - Anti-oxidant to cleanse and combats environmental pollutants (All skin type)
Cool (Tea-Tree) - Aids in healing breakouts (Acne prone skin)
Pearl - Restores skin elasticity (All skin type)
Vitamin - Helps to renew, brighten and soothe irritated skin (All skin type)
Gold - Soothe inflammation (All skin type/Acne skin)


It comes in a plastic container at 30g worth of modeling mask powder for one time use only. There is a plastic lid protecting the cover. 


Before opening the cover, make sure to lightly tap the sides of the container so the powder won't spill all over. It comes with a spatula inside the container for you to stir and apply. However I personally don't like the spatula provided because it is too short so I prefer to use my annie's way/ePure's spatula instead.

Spatula provided by Lindsay's Modeling Mask

I prefer using this spatula which is available when you purchase ePure or Annie's Way jelly mask

Note: When using this product, it may take a while to get use to mixing it. It may turn out too watery or too dry. It's all about trial and errors. 

How to Use: 

Step 1
On the container itself, there is a line as seen above. The purpose of the line is to guide you on how much water is needed.   

Step 2
I push the powder one side so I can pour the water until the line indicator on the container.

Step 3 
Please use warm water for this mask. If the water is too hot, it kills off the purpose of the mask but if it's too cold, the mask solidifies very fast creating lumps which makes it hard to apply.

Step 4
Pour in the water until the line then start to stir it. This steps tell you how much more water is needed. As you start stirring, it will slowly form a paste and gradually add in more water if needed.

Step 5 
After stirring and adding water as needed, it will form a smooth paste as seen in the picture above. It is very important to get a smooth yet thick consistency as seen above. If it is too dry, it dries up very fast but if it is too watery, it will be hard to apply as it will start to drip.

Step 6
Apply it onto your face with the spatula. Make sure to apply it in thick layers.

Make sure to apply it thicker on the side so it is easier to remove the mask.

Note* From adding water till applying it all over your face should take around 1-2 minutes only. Otherwise the mask would dry up before you even get to apply it on your face.

It is super hard to explain how or where to apply all the mask so here is a picture of where I apply the mask. IT IS PERFECT TO APPLY IT AND SCARE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! XD
* Yes it is my nail polish collection at the back. Check it out HERE

Applying it all over including your lips as it helps to moisturizes your lips too. Usually if there is someone to apply it for you, you may apply it on top of your eyes too. Use a damp cotton on top of your eyes and apply the mask all over. If you are applying it yourself, you do not need to apply it on your eyes.

Step 7
Remove the mask after 20 minutes. The reason to apply it thicker on the ends is so that you are able to remove the mask easily.

Step 8
Wash off residue with warm water and follow up with your moisturizer and you're done.

There are bits and pieces of black things in there. Don't worry, it is nothing scary as it is bits of tea-tree.

TIPS

1. Prep your skin before using the modeling mask. Prep with essence and serum for better effect.

2. Work fast as the modeling mask dries pretty fast.

3. You can scoop out half the powder if you are afraid of adding too much water making it too watery.

PROS

1. Moisturizes your skin instantly.
2. Does what it claims it does.
3. Minimizes pores
4. Improves complexion and hydration to tired skin. Tea-tree also calms sensitive skin that are easily irritated.
5. It does not evaporates unlike sheet mask. Although the outer layer is fully dry the inside of the mask stays wet.
6. It has a cooling effect due to the tea-tree

CONS

1. It takes a while to get use to mixing it.
2. First time users may not like the smell but overtime, you will get use to the smell.
3. The spatula provided is too short/small
4. One time use only at RM12.90 (BND$ 4.30) a little pricey for some.
5. Not suitable for people who are lazy or too tired for all the manual labour. LOL

RATINGS
Price - 4/5 Personally it is affordable as it really benefits my skin and does what it claims.
Hygiene -5/5 It is a one time use so just throw away the container once used. No contamination.
Quality - 4/5 Better than most sheet mask.

Would definitely purchase again. 

Where to purchase it?
1. Ebay - HERE

[Review] The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask.

Welcome back to my blog peeps.. This time, it's gonna be the review for everyone out there with acne/pimple problems, it's the Tea Tree mask from The Body Shop! Upon hearing great benefits of Tea Tree, I've decided to drop by Body Shop to get the Tea Tree Mask. Check out what I found out below~~

Benefits of Tea Tree:

- Antiseptic and Anti-Bacterial properties.
- Natural ingredient extracted from the Melaleuca Tea Tree.
- Ideal for acne-prone skin and other skin disorders such as eczema or redness.
-Able to treat the pimples without irritating the skin.


Tea Tree Face Mask

- Suitable for blemished skin
- Instantly cools and lifts away impurities. 

Descriptions.

This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin.

- Helps to remove impurities.
- Absorbs excess oil.
-Soothes skin.


It's ingredients can be seen as above picture. Organic Tea Tree oil from Kenya.


Mask.

- As you can see, the mask comes in a can in a clay form. It appears to be greenish in colour.

Texture.

-The texture of the mask appears to be soft and light yet watery therefore making it easy to apply unlike other mud/clay mask that are hard and difficult to apply. 

- When applied, it does not dry out your face entirely like how usual mud/clay mask. You will not feel any discomfort if you happen to leave the mask on longer than the expected time. 

Smell.

The scent of the mask appears to be minty and fresh of Tea which I find relaxing. Not everyone might find the smell pleasant but the smell does not linger around for long, it disappears after a while. It is still tolerable.

Suitable for:

- Oily Skin
- Acne Prone skin
- Pimples
- Combination Skin




Directions.

- Apply mask after your normal night routine in the direction of Cleansing - Toning - Mask - Wash off - Moisturize. 

- Apply a generous amount onto face and neck by scooping it with a spatula then applying it onto your face with fingertips instead of poking your finger into the jar which might transfers bacterial into your mask which may contaminate the whole can.
- Leave mask on for 10-15 minutes, then wash it off with water, use a cleansing sponge or wet towel to help remove it. 

- Upon first time using it, you might feel a tingling sensation on your skin from the cooling sensation of the mask. 

 If you are super sensitive, please do try on a small area to check for sensitivity. If pain or redness occur on skin, discontinue usage and rinse off immediately. 

- If you do not want to use this mask on your whole face, you can apply a small amount on pimple/acne after applying your moisturizer and leave it on overnight. It helps to reduce the swelling, redness or even dries out an erupting pimple from what I have experienced. 


Comments.

I have tried on this mask for a few months now and I love the cooling sensation when applied. I personally do not recommend the mask if you are looking for a product to treat acne but get the Tea Tree oil which contains a higher concentration which is also available from Body Shop. 

If you are looking for a mask that refreshes your skin, this is the mask to purchase. 

Ratings 8/10.

The product itself did a great job on drying out erupting pimples so its a thumbs up for me. 

Will I purchase it again if I run out of the current one?
Yes only when it's under promotion.
