The Face Shop Calendula Real Nature Face Mask Review

The Face Shop Calendula Real Nature Face Mask Review: Calendula is commonly known as Marigold or Gende ka phool in hindi. The flower grows in abundance in my garden. So when I saw that The Face Shop has a calendula face mask, I immediately got it.

I kind of never used Marigold in skin care before and this sheet mask intrigued me. If you do look it up, you’ll come to know that this flower is actually quite popular for its skin benefits.

Anyway, let us come back to the topic now and talk about this sheet mask from TFS. Does it work the way it claims?

In Detail The Face Shop Calendula Real Nature Face Mask Review and My Experience

The packaging is pretty simple. Its a nice packet with the sheet mask inside. Good part is, it is very travel friendly. You can just put a couple of these in your purse and carry them along while travelling.

Also, don’t need a pair of scissors to open them. The groove near the top, just tear it along that groove and it easily opens.

Inside the packet, the sheet mask is soaking in the serum. It is a white colour sheet mask, nicely folded. The fragrance is floral but not at all like the marigold aka calendula flowers I know. If you look at the ingredients list, you will notice that this is an added fragrance.

This makes me wonder, how much of actual calendula flower extracts are actually in there.

How I Use it

Just unfold the mask and adjust it on my face. The mask is slightly larger than my face, but a little bit adjustment does the job. I leave it on for around 10-15 minutes.

I recently read somewhere that you shouldn’t wait for sheet masks to dry completely. Or else, they reverse soak or soak the serum back from the skin.

Therefore, now I just leave the sheet masks for the recommended amount of time. I do not wait for them to dry completely.

So as I was saying, after 10-15 minutes, I take it off. There is some serum which feels like its sitting in my skin. I just massage it a little and it soaks in nicely.

Effects

The sheet mask claims that it removes dead skin cells 😮 and soothes/nourishes dry, rough skin! Well, as per my personal honest experience, I did not see it removing any dead skin cells. However yes it was nice and nourishing. It basically moisturised my skin super nicely.

In fact, these days I have started keeping my sheet masks in the fridge like half an hour before using. So when I put them on my face, it feels super cooling and soothing. Because of the deep hydration effect, the skin looks plum and smooth. Therefore the 2nd part of the claim is indeed met.

My only complain is, the effects are not long lasting at all. Like I used it in the morning, and up until evening, my face looked nourished and fresh. However by night, my skin felt back to its usual self.

So this mask is like fun to use for a nourishing pamper day session. But do not expect long term results from it.

Overall Verdict

I think if you have dry skin or dry to normal skin, you will probably love this mask. But my oily and combination skin beauties aren’t really going to gain much out of this.

This is deeply hydrating mask which gives nice and plump skin for a day. Won’t recommend this if you’re looking for long term benefits.

CONs of The Face Shop Calendula Real Nature Face Mask

1. Short lasting effects.
2. Does not remove dead skin cells like it claims
3. Has lots of chemical ingredients besides the natural extracts

MBF Advises

1. Keep sheet masks on for only the recommended duration. If you wait for it to dry completely, it might work the reverse way. It means it can actually soak back the moisture from your skin because of its adsorbing properties.
2. During hot summers ( its like raging hot here), pop sheet masks in the fridge before using. It just feels A-H-Maaazinnngg on the skin.
