Heimish Black Tea Mask Pack Honest Review | Cooling Redness In A Flash
Heimish is a tried-and-true Korean beauty brand, specializing in indulgent make-up products that glow and deep, rich formulas for mature skin. They’ve come up with some iconic products that are internationally beloved, from their All Clean Balm (for a deep, sherbet clean that immediately removes make-up and impurities in a flash) to their deep Marine Care Eye Cream (enriched with ocean water and peptides). Heimish is highly trusted and a brand people always come back to for repair and hydration. But one of their most iconic products is a gentle face mask, designed for all skin types.
It's their Black Tea Mask Pack! Enriched with black tea water, lychee and aloe vera – it's the perfect counter to a stressful day and only takes 5 minutes to infuse. So, is this cooling, sherbety goodness the secret to relaxing this summer? Let’s put it to the test and see if the black tea helps reduce general redness and improve fine lines (in just a couple minutes).
What's In The Bottle?
Black tea water: rich in antioxidants, tea helps reduce dark spots, general redness and balance bacteria in skin to reduce acne outbreaks.
Lychee extract: rich in polyphenols and antioxidants to help reduce cell stress and improve fine lines with natural glow.
Aloe vera extract: boosts skin cell healing and improves deep hydration. Improves wrinkles and elasticity in sun-damaged skin.
Centella asciatica extract: hydrates and nourishes damaged and irritated skin, with soothing madecassoside and triterpenes.
Japanese Goldthread extract: rich in antioxidants to cool and hydrate skin, whilst reducing damage and environmental stressors.
False Daisy extract: refreshes irritated and red skin, with a cooling and healing effect. Helps bring down temperature of skin.
Cocoa seed extract: helps protect skin against UV radiation, whilst also improving skin brightness and texture for a radiant appearance.
Fragrance: added fragrance to boost mood and elevate inner wellbeing. Can be irritating to some sensitive skin – so consider with care.
Who Should Avoid?
This delicate face mask is gentle and nourishing, making it useful for most skin types. It does, however, contain fragrance which can be irritating for sensitive skin (consider with care). This mask is otherwise a great addition for sensitive, damaged skin – and the addition of fragrance is actually strange (as it only smells of tea). Heimish as a brand puts fragrance in everything, which makes their products a dream of scents – but a rough choice for those sensitive to fragrance.
The Results
A good evening pore mask is a must have for oily prone skin, helping bring out impurities and reduce pore size for a more even glow. There’s a generous amount of mask and you don’t need a lot for an even coating. It has a sherbet texture, which is cooling and light on your face. It also doesn’t ‘dry out’ like most pore masks do, instead just sitting on your skin and gently moisturizing. It has a pleasant ‘tea scent’, which makes it a perfect combination if you love an evening cuppa.
I’d really recommend this face mask for any beginners to K-Beauty or even as a gift to a friend, who might just need a little self-care moment. Everything inside is gentle and cooling, hydrating for dry skin types and balancing for oily skin. It doesn’t trigger outbreaks and washes away easily for a classically nourishing pore mask. It’s a perfect starting point for a light skin treatment to help reduce redness and acne spots, without any of the stronger, irritating agents.
You can see the before-and-after cooling effect in real time. Adding a pore mask helps remove excess sebum and dirt from pores at the end of the day and helps reduce acne spots and create clearer, calmer skin.
Final Thoughts
It’s a delicate and nourishing mask that’s perfect for all skin types for a relaxing end of day treatment. It’s perfect for helping soothe irritated skin, without aggressive cleansing or agents. It’s good for both oily and dry skin and has a cooling, sherbet feel that is perfect for warm days.
