My drawer is super overloaded with sheet masks these days and yet I feel like I am starting to love them more and more. Just so you know, I was never a fan of sheet facial masks, and always, whenever possible, prefer using sleeping masks instead of sheet masks. Because I honestly never feel anything special about sheet masks. I always feel they are good but not good enough to show instant 'wow' improvement to the skin.
Today, I am reviewing It's Skin Prestige BN Gel Mask EX which gives amazing result, even after only 1 use. Remember when I reviewed the It's Skin Prestige BN Cream last time and how it was just so-so for me? Well, to my surprise this mask works a lot better for me. I can say that it is by far the best brightening face mask I have ever tried in my entire life.
I got mine in a box of 5 sheet masks. The Prestige BN line from It's Skin claims to be about delivering high quality ingredients [bird's nest and 99% pure gold] to the skin. While Bird's Nest nourishes and moisturises the skin, Gold works to brighten and revitalize the skin.
It's Skin Prestige BN Gel Mask EX gives the skin a beautiful and natural glow while moisturizing and nourishing.
I have used 2 out of 5 masks and every time I am done with the mask time, my skin would look amazing. It brightens up my skin complexion instantly and make it glow as if I had put on a shimmer base all over my face. I am super lovinggggg this mask. The result is real and you can definitely see it even after 1 time of usage. Since it gives me that glowing look I really adore, I feel like these are best to use in the morning before makeup.
No doubt that the fact that this is gel mask, makes me love it even more. I am a sucker for hydrogel mask material since it doesn't drip and doesn't leave the skin feeling tacky afterwards. It's Skin Prestige BN Gel Mask EX moisturizes so well that my skin would feel super smooth afterwards. I am definitely keeping these mask for days when I want my skin to look extra good.

Smell of rose water the moment I took it out. I placed it on my face for about 15 minutes. I applied the extra essence onto my legs. It was cooling and moisturizing while it was on my face. However, the moisturizing effect did not last too long as my cheeks felt thirsty for moisture again. Skin felt a little tighter. Maybe it really firms up a little for my face. I thought I smell charcoal when I removed my mask. The rose water smell lasted a while on my face.
Overall, a little pricey for this mask but I cannot comment on the wrinkle care effect as you need longer period of time to see the effect..

Do skin face masks actually work?
Facial masks may provide various skin benefits. Based on its ingredients, a mask can help combat acne, fade hyperpigmentation, hydrate your skin, minimize redness, and address signs of aging. How often should you use a face mask? It depends on your skin type and your desired result.
Are sheet masks worth it?
They work best when included in a regular skincare routine and used in combination with other products, as single-use masks will not provide long-term benefits. Additionally, sheet masks can be expensive and not very environmentally friendly.
