[ Review ] : &Habit Black Tea Kombucha Mask

 

Product Description

A 1-minute skin pre-makeup mask that leaves the skin refreshed, dewy, firm, smooth and ready for flawless makeup application. Wake up your skin and heart and feel refreshed with rejuvenating citrus and herbs in a single easy step.

In the current age and day, we are constantly on the move; working and living in diverse ways. Hailing from Japan, &Habit aims to become an ally for those who are busy striving every day. Feel confident to head out of house with a quick yet nourishing skincare solution – Black Tea Kombucha Sheet Mask. 

I purchased &Habit Black Tea Kombucha Mask during Sasa closing down sale last year although it was just on 20% discount then. Kombucha as an ingredient draws me in as its been said that Kombucha, also known as fermented black tea, not only detoxifies, but also hydrates the skin as it improves skin elasticity. Kombucha also improves skin tone, texture and clarity as it brightens the skin as well as combating the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

It vaguely reminded me of the widely popular Sabrino Morning Face Mask which is a 3-in-1 mask.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

&Habit Black Tea Kombucha Mask comes in both 7 piece and 32 piece resealable pack and I purchased mine in the 7 piece pack. All the 7 pieces of sheet masks are folded and stacked upon each other in the resealable packaging, where you can pull one out and seal back the packaging again.

[ Review ] : IDS Ultra Moisturizer (UM) + Recovery Serum (RS)

 

IDS products have been on my wish list for awhile as their philosophy resonates with me. 

" We believe that it is almost every woman’s secret dream to feel confident enough to leave home without any make up. This is why we want to empower women to stop hiding behind their imperfections and instead, celebrate their natural selves with radiant, healthier- looking skin." 

IDS Innovative Dermatological Solutions is created by Dr SK Tan where IDS is a skincare line made to deliver highly visible results that surpass those achieved by most prescription products, without the side effects they often cause.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in the aesthetics industry and working in collaboration with international experts, Dr Tan designed and formulated the IDS line of products to address the most prevalent problems he has encountered in his practice. These range from acne and blemishes in teens and adults, to pigmentation disorders and wrinkles and sagging brought on by natural aging and sun exposure.

I have previously received some products from the brand and went for their 60 mins Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment ( HTT ) thereafter, but unfortunately, it was a facial gone wrong and I developed dermatitis on the forehead instead. 

Everyone's skin reacts differently so I can accept if its redness or zits but inflammed skin?? Other than being prescribed with Neoderm, I was also given IDS Delicate Cleanser, IDS Recovery Serum and IDS Ultra Moisturizer to moisturize the skin, due to the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid works quite well for my skin so I was looking forward to using it. 

IDS Ultra Moisturizer (UM) is a moisturizer with a thick, creamy consistency. Not only does it moisturize the skin, it provides effective relief to sensitive skin, visibly reducing histamine-related symptoms like irritation and itching within a few minutes of application. Ideal for damaged or sensitive skin, simply slip a bottle into your bag and bring it along, wherever you go.

Benefits 

- Quick soothing effect on dry and irritated skin

- Hydrates the skin and leaves it soft and moisturized

- Improved skin texture

- Gentle on the skin
