I purchased Sand & Sky Australian Emu Apple Super Bounce Mask to add on to my collection of rinse-off masks as they were more environmental-friendly than single-use sheet masks.
Hailing from Australia, Sand & Sky is said to be a highly effective and results driven clean skincare incorporating powerful Australian botanical ingredients without sulfates, silicones, parabens, petroleum, phthalates and mineral oils.
Do note that Sand & Sky Australian Emu Apple Super Bounce Mask is made in Italy.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Sand & Sky Australian Emu Apple Super Bounce Mask is is a 100g product contained in a bright pink tub with a spatula as shown in the above picture. The bounce mask has a fruity fragrance and pink pudding-like texture with a cooling sensation.
How To Use :
Spread a thick layer on clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
Let the face mask sink into thirsty skin for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
Performance and Ingredients
Boosting brightness in just minutes, this powerful hydrating mask is said to quench and protect skin against everyday pollution and aggressors. Suitable for dry, sensitive, oily, combination, and normal skin types, the unique jelly-like texture gets to work delivering potent Aussie fruits that are packed full of soothing antioxidants and Vitamin C for your glowiest skin yet. It's the perfect way to refresh and brighten skin before makeup (or on those makeup free days).
When I first opened the lid on the tub, I was surprised to see the wobbly pudding-like texture which probably explained the "bounce" in the name. It has a cooling sensation and on first use, it actually stung my skin for a few minutes before its gone, leaving a cold sensation on the face. On other days, it stung on flaky areas.
Due to its wobbly texture, there was a subtle challenging layering on the face, as some contents slide down so best to apply it at the sink, rather than anywhere else. I prefer to scoop up the mask using the spatula and then apply it on the face using my fingers.
5 minutes into the application, there was a slight taut sensation on the philtrum which I didn't fancy, so I usually rinse it off after a short 5-10 minutes masking session.
I noticed after applying it on the face, the pudding mask softens and became more runny which took effort to rinse off, hence I either use several cotton pads to cleanse off before using water, or I just apply the mask during my showering routine. Warm water is recommended as part of the usage instruction.
15 minutes after washing it off, my face feels tight although I do adore the instant effect on the skin - smaller pores, baby soft, very smooth skin and a fresh-looking healthy skin.

Conclusion
To conclude, Sand & Sky Australian Emu Apple Super Bounce Mask has given me smaller pores, baby soft, very smooth and fresh-looking healthy skin, however it isn't as hydrating as what my skin needs. Adding on, I didn't like the slight taut sensation on the philtrum during application and the tightness my skin felt, 15 minutes after rinsing off the mask.
