@itsfi  Oh my goodness, that sounds perfect! It looks like such a nice fit. Do the two pieces stay on pretty decently? I like two piece masks, but I find sometimes the lower half starts slipping down. I will have to check this one out. I have been sick constantly this winter, and my face is so dry and flaky. 

[itsfi]

@PrettyPaint, it is a beautiful mask, inside and out! I felt like I could skip moisturizer last night. I didn’t but I felt like I could. 😲 The lower part stayed on the entire time without any part detaching on its own. One side of the top half popped off but that was because I was trying to layer another sweatshirt - it was cold the other night. 

Oh no! I’m so sorry you’ve been sick this winter - ugh! I’ve been drowning my skin in face oils whenever I can. I look all shiny when I go to bed but my skin slurps it all up overnight. 😆

My breakfast during the workweek typically consists of a couple of liquids - coffee, warm water with lemon, green juice or smoothie, or kombucha, which was the theme of my morning masking a couple of weeks ago. This is from Yadah, and from the same line of masks as the wine one that @lmaster posted about earlier this month. 

tl;dr: A soft, thin, cellulose mask saturated in a clear, unscented, slightly viscous, liquid essence containing flavonoids* from kombucha, that wears like “second skin" and  leaves skin feeling and looking hydrated, bouncy and supple. Like many Yadah masks, a good choice for daily sheet masking. 👍🏼

The soft, thin cellulose sheet of the Yadah Daily Vegi Mask Kombucha is saturated in a clear, unscented, slightly viscous, liquid essence, and adheres well to the skin, almost feeling as if I wasn’t wearing a sheet mask. A 30-minute (instructions suggests 10-15 minutes) masking session flies by as the fit along the perimeter is good, with only the length at the chin being a smidge long. Openings for the eyes and mouth are a smidge narrow but nothing that cannot be easily adjusted for a more tailored fit. 

There’s a tacky-to-the-touch feel as you pat & press in the residual essence. That dissipates very quickly and skin is left looking and feeling hydrated (though not more so than most sheet masks), with a nice bounce and suppleness to the skin. Like other Yadah masks, this kombucha sheet mask is a good one for daily masking.

So cute and so nice! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @sister13! It checks off a lot of boxes - the sheet mask and the actual kombucha drink. 😉 

[missy94612]

@itsfi 

Kombucha is really good for you. Makes sense the masks sounds like it would too. 

[itsfi]

@missy94612, it is! I’ve benefited from incorporating it into my morning routine. Do you have a favorite kombucha flavor or brand?

[lmaster]

@itsfi you are sending me a serious craving right now 🤣🤣

[itsfi]

Lol @lmaster! Kombucha is so refreshing! ♥️ I’ve noticed a difference since including it in my daily routine. 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  It’s so good when you are so pleased with the results 😀

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, love a sheet mask that hydrates and gives me bouncy skin. 👍🏼 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh, this one sounds so nice! I agree, Yadah is definitely a good go-to brand for daily masking! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, their snail 🐌 one is great for daily masking. I like that they still pop up at TJ Maxx / Marshall’s every so often.  

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  The snail one is probably my most favorite of theirs! 🐌

[itsfi]

Mine too @Shosh85! Though technically I haven’t tried all of the Yadah masks from that range. I am pretty sure the snail 🐌 will be my favorite among them. ♥️

Did that bear one have a print on the mask? The packaging looks so cute.
