SHEET MASK | Teaology Matcha Tea Superfood Firming and Blemish Tea Glow AHA Sheet Mask

Press samples

I have been enjoying a much needed day off today as I just was not in the mood to work yesterday. And by that, I just mean that I wasn't finding tasks that I normally enjoy as fun as usual. I always like to stay busy regardless of how I feel as standing/sitting around on my phone makes me feel mentally and physically worse so if I don't feel like doing a mentally exhaustive task, I will switch to visual merchandising or organizing repairs or just flat out cleaning! I got up relatively early (thanks to Bustyboo) and ended up having breakfast and going for a 5km walk before noon! I have really been trying hard to get at least 10K steps/day and so far, I have been able to keep it up for a over a month! My Apple watch has been telling me what a good job I have been doing LOL!

I have reviewed Teaology sheet masks before back in 2021 (here) and it looks like things have improved since then so let's dive right in!

FIRMING | Matcha Tea Superfood Mask*

What makes this mask special? Firstly, there is the face AND neck aspect which makes the Teaology series of sheet masks special as ALL of their sheet masks include both of these areas. The mask is also made of 100% biodegradable elastic cotton fibres. The essence contains actual matcha tea, which is full of antioxidants, as well as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide with all water coming from Teaology's trademark tea infusion.

Ingredients: WATER(*), GLYCERIN, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, POLYGLYCERYL-10 EICOSANEDIOATE/TETRADECANEDIOATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL,TETRASODIUM GLUTAMATE DIACETATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE,CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF(MATCHA TEA)(*), NIACINAMIDE, CITRIC ACID, JUGLANS REGIA LEAF EXTRACT, JUGLANS REGIA SHELL EXTRACT, LECITHIN, CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT, PYRUS GERMANICA EXTRACT, TREHALOSE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-5, BETA-GLUCAN, HORDEUM VULGARE SEED EXTRACT. (*)TEA INFUSION

The fabric of the mask was very stretchy so pulling the two sets of ear loops over the ears was not a struggle. The print/weave was fun and reminded me of very fancy Charmin toilet paper! The only thing was disappointing was how dry the mask seemed as it did not seem to hold onto essence and there also wasn't much essence left in the package for me to put on top. Granted, the results were positive so maybe I don't need the mask to be soaking in essence? I think I am just spoiled by Asian sheet masks!

I will say that compared to the last set of Teaology sheet masks I reviewed, the fit felt more comfortable as the previous mask material was VERY thick and wasn't the most comfortable to wear especially around the ears.

Mask Summary:

Price: $7.50 CDN

What it does: Tones, firms and regenerates skin

Scent: Slightly sweet, but otherwise very subtle

Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous

Duration: 20 minutes

Thickness: Fairly thin and stretchy

Mask Fit: Plenty of coverage with some mask on the sides going well into my hair. I do feel like it may have fit better if the fibers absorbed more essence.

Tackiness: None

Hydration: Quite nice! I did not need any moisturizer and my skin had a very slight tack to it as if I HAD applied moisturizer! 

Other notes: N/A 

BLEMISH | Tea Glow AHA Sheet Mask*

What makes this mask special? This has both BHA (salicylic acid from willow bark) and AHA from pineapple, lemon and blueberry extracts. It also contains Teaology's signature white tea infusion.

INGREDIENTS: AQUA/WATER/EAU(*), GLYCERIN, NIACINAMIDE, POLYGLYCERYL-10 EICOSANEDIOATE/TETRADECANEDIOATE, TETRASODIUM GLUTAMATE DIACETATE, VACCINIUM MYRTILLUS FRUIT EXTRACT, SALIX NIGRA BARK EXTRACT, ANANAS SATIVUS FRUIT JUICE, SACCHARUM OFFICINARUM EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS FRUIT EXTRACT, CITRUS LIMON FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ACER SACCHARUM EXTRACT, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF(GREEN TEA)(*), CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT. (*)TEA INFUSION

Mask Summary:

Price: $7.50 CDN

What it does: Regulate sebum production, minimize the appearance of pores, improve skin texture

Scent: Slightly sweet, but otherwise very subtle

Essence Type: Clear, slightly viscous, but again not very much left in the packet

Duration: 20 minutes

Thickness: Fairly thin and stretchy

Mask Fit: Plenty of coverage with some mask on the sides going well into my hair. I do feel like it may have fit better if the fibers absorbed more essence.

Tackiness: None

Hydration: Decent though with this mask I did feel like I needed a bit of moisturizer on top.

Other notes: The ear loops felt a bit looser than the previous mask and looked almost like they were disintegrating? I also felt a teensy bit more sensitive towards the end of the 20 minutes so I think all of this has to do with the presence of AHAs. 

Final verdict: I definitely enjoyed the results more with the new upgraded masks and though I was doubtful of the masks at first because of how little essence there was, I was very happy with the results and would love to try the other masks available especially the one for glow!
