Another face mask! This time it’s the Sinsay Moisturizing
Face Mask, variant Coconut!
Listen, it was on sale and it’s mega cute so why not buy it?
I love these ultra cute designs on face masks, like this happy little coconut,
aww! But I also did honestly think it might end up being a good mask; it’s got
coconut, which is a very strong nourishing ingredient, so it should be at least
relatively good, no? Well, let’s see!

Packaging: such an adorable little sachet! Omg! I love the
pale pink colour and how they combined it with white, to make a combination that
is super cute but also soothing. Text is white and (slightly) darker pink,
which is such a cute choice. Information about the mask is in the back. The
front is adorned with the cutest illustration of lil’ coconut pals – they’re
best buddies, it’s obvious! So kawaii! I love it so much! This was, after all,
the primary reason why I bought this mask in the first place.

Ingredients: glycerine, avocado (Persea gratissima) oil,
coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil, betaine, ginger (Zingiber officinale) root
extract, allantoin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol/provitamin B5, vitamin E for
nourishment. No parabens. Hmm, well, this sounds promising! Although, it sounds
more nourishing than hydrating, no? Oh this smell is so amazing! It’s a gentle
scent, but it is extremely coconut-y, like, it smells like actual coconut
water! So yummy! I’ve always loved coconuts, so this smell is perfect for me!
The expiration date is listed as a real date in the back of the sachet. This
mask should be left on for 15 minutes and then rinsed off.
Oh god, this is greasy with a capital G. Like, it’s way too
greasy for my skin... I just hope it doesn’t cause any breakouts. It’s also
pretty heavy and thick. I mean, I get that this is a moisturizing mask, but it
feels much more like a specifically nourishing one. I just think my skin is the
wrong type for this kind of formula, sadly. .jpg)

What do I feel while it is absorbing? Well, not much
exactly, besides the greasiness. It does feel nourishing, I’ll admit, and there
is a pleasantly subtle cooling sensation. But it doesn’t really feel hydrating
at all. It mostly just feels heavy on my face.
Washing off this mask wasn’t a particularly difficult task,
even though it seemed like it would be hard to remove at the start. I needed
two cotton pads and some water to remove it completely, which isn’t too bad.
However, the mask did leave a very greasy film on my skin, which I really don’t
like. I don’t need anything that can clog my pores...

The results aren’t spectacular, but there are some positive
changes. Namely, my face looks more nourished, like it’s slightly plumper. It
also looks slightly more hydrated, but less so compared to the nourishing
effect. Pores look the same, pimples are just as inflamed... but overall, my
face looks slightly plumper and happier! It feels pretty much the same as before
I applied the mask, though.
The next morning my face looks pretty good, actually. Not a
whole lot better than usual, but it still looks like it’s nourished and
slightly plumper. But it doesn’t really look hydrated. And there are no
breakouts. I like how it looks; it seems my skin liked this mask in the end!
All in all, an okay face mask for oily skin; I do think it’s
much better suited for dry skin, though. Why do I think that? Because the
formula of the mask is just sooo greasy and heavy. It felt occlusive on my oily
skin, like it was blocking all my pores. This is not something my skin enjoys,
as I’m already in a constant struggle with acne; I don’t need face masks
additionally blocking pores. Still, it doesn’t look like it’s caused any
breakouts, so it seems like my skin didn’t mind it all that much. And what I
like the most is the scent! It smells like fresh coconut water... ahh, so
summery! But, since it didn’t have ant particularly great results, and since it
is far too greasy for my skin, I won’t be recommending it.
Rating: 5.5/10
Would buy again? NO (too heavy...)
