Review: Nature Republic ''Real Nature Mask Sheet''

For my first blog post, I will be reviewing some really cool mask sheets from Nature Republic. These were a graduation gift from a couple of my friends, and I had never used these kinds of masks before, so I figure I'd give it some thought and express my opinions about it.

I've already tried two different kinds since I got them: Avocado and Cucumber. The other types are: Rose, Green Tea, Shea Butter, Tomato, Açai Berry, Royal Jelly, Aloe, and Bamboo.

I have experience with Avocado facial clay masks, so I tried the Avocado first. The directions in the back indicate that you have to wash your face and apply toner in order to prepare the skin for the mask, which I did. I used my daily cleanser from Clean & Clear and a skin toner from Clinique.


The steps are pretty simple. Take the mask out of the packaging and apply to face, using the eye holes for accurate alignment.

When taking it out, you can tell it's packed heavily with the cream that helps moisturize the skin, so apply it carefully, or else you'll end up smearing other areas with the mask juice. After gently padding the mask onto my face for maximum absorption, I usually leave it on for about 20-30 minutes. There aren't harsh consequences if you leave it on for longer, but if your skin is done absorbing what it can, it wouldn't make much sense if you keep it on for more than you need it.

Both the Avocado and Cucumber masks felt pretty similarly to each other; there were no heavy or unwanted smells, and it stayed in place as long as I didn't do anything drastic with my face (like eating a snack, but light conversation is fine).

Washing it off was easy, and after patting my face dry with a towel and applying a facial lotion, my skin felt renewed and ultimately moisturized. The feeling lasted most of the night, and even in the moring, I noticed my skin was softer. I definitely recommend this product. I've seen eBay sell it for $9-13 for 7-10 mask sheets in all the types. Or, if you really love it, Amazon has a set of 30 masks for $45 + free shipping! Whichever you decide, I say it's worth a try, especially since the packaging is super cute and elegant. You can just add it to your bathroom as a decoration until you use it.

I'm not sure if people would play favorites on the different kinds of sheets that Nature Republic offers; more like a "Try each one for fun!" type of deal. As for me, I will definitely be looking for more mask sheets for the future, but will only add it to my mask routines with regular clay masks instead of replacing it completely. The feelings the mask gives me is a softer sensation than the zesty sensation I get when I take off my clay mask.

All-in-all, I recommend this for a nice night in, binging on Netflix and drinking some wine. And even on a night-to-night basis. It's easy to use with little to no mess and revitalizing results.
