Talk about terrifying looking sheet masks! Certain animals are just destined to look creepy, but when I saw The Creme Shop Calm Down, Skin! masks on sale at Winners the kitty cat on the packaging looked so cute that I was convinced I would look just as adorable when wore it. Yeah...not so much. This mask reminded me so much of The Face Shop Homer Mask, but with a better fit and equally disturbing eyes.
The Calm Down, Skin! mask contains grapefruit extract and soothing centella asiatica extract, a common ingredient in many anti-inflammatory Asian sheet masks. The instructions say that for an extra soothing effect, the mask may be refrigerated but I am really not a fan of cold masks unless it is sweltering hot. If anything, that coldness was one of the things that held me back from sheet masking regularly for years, but now that I am addicted I can look past that initial shock to my system!
The featured ingredients of grapefruit and centella asiatica are around the halfway point of a fairly short ingredients list, but if this mask gave me any results other than laughs, I would be impressed.
The eyes can be flipped down if you would like to do other things while you sheet mask, but would you have been able to guess this was a mask of a cat if you hadn't seen the packaging? Didn't think so.
The fit was similar to The Creme Shop Unicorn Face Mask in that there was wrinkling around the chin, but I have come to realize that the shape of my face will always result in wrinkles unless I fold in part of the sheet with my origami-folding prowess.
Mask Summary:
Scent: I thought it would be fruity, but more floral instead.
Thickness: Not the thinnest because of print, but reasonable.
Mask Fit: No chin goatee, but still some wrinkling around the bottom of mask.
Tackiness: None
Hydration: Good! Skin felt plump afterwards.
Final verdict: The mask actually wasn't too useless as a mask in terms of hydration, but since the main selling feature of this mask was the print, I'd have to give it a pass because it just did not look very cute for a cat. Maybe cats just don't work as print masks and we should keep it to zebras and Captain America instead!
You can find The Creme Shop masks at The Creme Shop and various retailers.
