I was excited to try the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Youthful Lifting Tissue Mask, because at my stage in life a little lifting is in order.
The pack is a stylish red foil, it looks rather luxurious. Inside is a tissue mask with a blue backing - and it's well-soaked in serum.
Applying was fiddly and I abandoned the instructions which had me putting it on my face then peeling away the blue outer, as when I tried the whole lot came off or moved on my face making it difficult to rearrange. Once I peeled and applied the mask went on easily.
The fit? On my smaller face it was pretty good - a little small around the nose and eyes, which makes me wonder how it would go on someone with bigger features.
I kept the mask on for just over 20 minutes and noticed during this time my skin sucked up a lot of the serum. It was also very cooling on the skin, which was lovely as it was a very hot night.
Once removed my skin looked clear, plumped and my large pores did appear visibly smaller. I don't know that I looked 'lifted', but I did look tighter. (I can't speak to fine lines and wrinkles appearing smaller as this was a once-off treatment, and the pack says it needs to happen regularly over the course of four weeks to see any results in the fine lines and wrinkles department.)
The next day my skin was still looking nice - not so tight in the pores, but definitely glowy. Next time (when I pick it up at the supermarket) I'll use it at the start of the day as I'd love to show my fresh-looking skin to the world.
Would I use it again and recommend it? Yes. I've had a run of sheet masks not doing a heck of a lot, and this one definitely did make my skin look better/glowier/tighter, which is a bonus when you're in your 40s.
I’m a 40 year old mum of two special needs boys. My youngest aged 8 is currently going through a no sleep phase again so I am living on coffee and naps. Sheet masks are my “me time” my little pamper time. So when I saw the add for this I got so excited, “anti aging firming and refining” etc all sounded so good right now. Once hubby got home I took myself to my bed, put on criminal minds and got down to it. The package describes a Japanese cotton mask, I love J and K beauty so this was already a plus. I pulled out the mask and argh, it had the film on the mask. I hate these on sheet masks and this one was no acception, it made applying the mask annoying as when I pulled it off, it pulled the mask and stuck it together so I had to unstick it all. I spread the mask out over my face and it really did seem to melt into my features, it really did “act like a second skin”. It had plenty of product so I could do what I always do and squeeze the packet out onto my décolletage area, I rubbed the rest into my skin. After my hands had dried they felt like silk so I had high hopes for this mask. 15 minutes later the criminal minds team had found more victims and my timer went off, so I hit the pause button and in masked. It took a bit to rub the rest into my skin and ended up rubbing it down my arms aswell there was so much. The result, silky smoothe skin, that looks fantastic. Wow I’m in love. Reading the instructions it recommends to do this three times a week for four weeks. That seems a bit much to me as I thought sheet masks should only be done once a week. As I was only given one mask I can’t judge on long term results. However right now my skin looks and feels amazing, I will definitely be buying this one again.
Tips: Squeeze the excess from the packet etc onto your chest/décolletage area and neck.
