Red Ginseng Essence Mask

Red Ginseng Essence Mask

 

 by Mijin Cosmetic

Bought this mask mainly because of its main ingredient. Red Ginseng! I was lucky enough to came across this sheet mask on my recent trip to a local Asian Groceries store to stock up some cooking supplies.
This is one of many sheet masks by Mijin Cosmetic that I enjoy (they have more than 15 to choose from)

Ginseng is a very well-known root in Asia for its medicinal properties. In skincare, it is used for its ability to heal and calm the skin because it encourages skin renewal. That is not it! It is also known for improving uneven skin tone.

This sheet mask contains 23g premium essence. 

Claimed and promised to:

- This will make your skin elastic, moisturized, clear and relaxed.

- Their red ginseng sheet mask has the power of relaxation with moisturizing treatment for professional spa result at home.

- You will feel the different immediately.

In their product description, MJ Care mentioned that this essence mask is specially formulated with highly concentrated active ingredients that will penetrate into the skin that will help to moistened, elastic, white and relieves your skin from stress.

(When they said white, I believe they meant it to be brightening. I can be wrong. But that is just what I assume when I first read it)

They also warned that you should avoid using on blemishes imitated or sunburned skin. Moreover, you should also stop using this mask if skin react badly to it (swollen, redness, itchy) during or after use. Immediately! Do consult your doctor as well.

This is a face mask, so, do avoid contact with eyes. Rinse eye thoroughly with water if happen. 

Ingredients:

How to use:

Keep refrigerated in the summer before use.

Soak 2-3 minutes in 50-60°c of water in the winter before use.

1- Cleanse then soothe your face with tonic water.

2- Apply the mask and smooth the mask entirely on your face. 

3- Leave the mask for 15-20 minutes for the nutrients to penetrates properly into your skin.

4- Remove the mask and with the leftover essence on your face, massage your face upward until everything is well absorb.

5- You can apply your skin care routine and makeup after taking off the mask. 

My thought:

Essence:
-I can smell the ginseng the moment i open the packaging. Not too strong. But i definitely can smell the bitterness of ginseng. 
- Plenty of essence that keep the sheet well soaked.

Sheet Mask:

- Fitting wise, i always appreciate the fitting of their sheet mask. It just starts and stop at the right line around the frame of my face.

- The material is almost like a cotton sheet masks. But slightly thinner.

- It does have the eye flap. What I did with it is to close my eyes and cover the entire face including my eyes (avoid to have too much essence on that area)

After i take the mask off

My skin does feel very hydrated and refreshed.
After peeling off the mask, i will massage in the essence upward for it to entirely absorb into my skin. The leftover in its packet will be kept in a ziplock bag for later use. If you don't know this yet, you can keep the leftover essence in a ziplock bag and keep it fresh for the next day or two. Don't throw away the concentrated essence!

Will i repurchase? Yes absolutely!
