Hydro-Gel Masks

I want to take a minute and talk about a new favourite beauty product of mine - hydro-gel masks! I find them to be waaaaay nicer than the ubiquitous paper/cotton sheet masks. I find that they adhere to the face far better than paper masks and are easier to fit on my face (these come in two parts). These masks also stay moist for a lot longer than regular masks do and apparently hydro-gel is best for blocking the evaporation of whatever serum its soaked in.

These are the cheapest hydro-gel masks that I could find around - The Face Shop Vita B/C/E which come in at a whopping $2 each. It's the most I've ever paid for a face mask - yeah... I know I'm a cheapo when it comes to sheet masks because overall I don't find that sheet masks really do too much except make me feel fancy. I will probably use these as an occasional break from the innisfree / etude house masks that I horde.

The Vita line of masks from The Face Shop are for those who find other hydro-gel masks to be too expensive (me!!). Vita E is a "resilient and nourishing hydro-gel mask that contains cranberry extracts". Vita B is a "hydrating and revitalizing hydro-gel mask that makes skin look more lively". I don't have a picture of Vita C because it was the first one I used but it contained blood orange extract and was supposed to have a clarifying effect.

The Face Shop has recently rolled out stores all over Canada so it's super easy to pop into one and stock up on these. It works out to be a bit cheaper that way than it is to order them from a website (and no waiting).
