After reviewing two dessert items, I need a caloric break. So on to the health and beauty aid aisle.
I don't know if Trader Joe's is taking inspiration from fashion. You know how the bathing suits appear in February? And how the supply of winter coats is usually dwindling just as winter is kicking in? Same here, it seems the products are a bit out of sync with the weather outside.
Except for this one.
I know wearing one of these goofy masks is all the rage right now in beauty. With spa prices what they are it is easy to understand why. Twenty minutes of relaxing is what this needs. If you can't just sit and relax, it did a good job of staying on my face without any help.
Now for starters, my skin is sensitive and dry. Even in this weather. Speaking of this weather, where I am has been very hot. Worse still is that we are never having a dry heat. Nope, visit NYC in July or August and you'll be slapped with as much humidity as parts of the tropics.
Which is also why I really liked this product. This mask was supercooling. It was slightly tingly. But more importantly, it was like a blast of air conditioning on my face. For the whole twenty minutes. Seriously.
The mask fit decently enough for something that looked like it belonged on a mime. Or the love child of Freddy Krueger and Jason. But looking bad for 20 minutes is totally worth it. No perfect fit, but for sitting on the couch, it was good enough.
There is a smell to this, it's cucumber all the way. So if you are sensitive, it isn't neutral in smell. Otherwise, most of the masks moisture absorbed nicely into my skin.
Now, I paused to write this review. I have sensitive skin. So sometimes, usually the next morning, my skin gives a verdict. Often times with skin products, I'm rewarded with a breakout. Not this time. My skin felt even better after an overnight rest.
No breakouts.
For $1.99 it's affordable and worth a try. I liked it. It did everything it was asked to do.
If you can't find this at your local Trader Joe's, you'll be able to find it on Amazon through third-party sellers.

I have become more & more interested in Trader Joe's beauty products. Thanks for reviewing their facial products lately.
becomebetty says
Hey Dag! Me too. It's funny how one good find often leads to more experimentation. I picked up the blueberry acai facial scrub. That's next up on my list of beauty products to try. Thanks as always for stopping by!
Janet says
So funny that you posted this today I picked up a few packs of these today and had planned to ask if you had reviewed them yet. Glad you did and excited to give them a try, cannot beat the price!
becomebetty says
Hey Janet! When you get a chance to try them, I'd love for you to share your thoughts on it. Skincare is a tough one to review because what worked for me might not work for someone else. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!
Alek says
I think those would make great gifts too. $2 is very good price for a mask!
becomebetty says
Hey Alek! Yes they would totally make awesome gifts. Holiday season will be upon us before we know it and would make for a nice gift. Thanks so much for taking the time and stopping by and sharing!
Shib says
Thanks for the recommendation! My skin is exactly like yours and I’m in NYC. Sensitive and dry. I have the mask on now and it’s EXACTLY how you have described it. Good job!
becomebetty says
Hey Shib! Thanks so much and glad I could help out. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by and share.
Madeleine says
I immediately took the mask off because I wasn’t a big fan of the tingling sensation, but now with the product kinda sinking in i get the cooling effect which is nice. Glad you mentioned there was a tingling otherwise I would have thought I was having an allergic reaction.
becomebetty says
Hey Madeline! I'm glad I could help you. I've used a bunch of different AHA products and they all tingle to a certain extent. It's totally unnerving if you aren't expecting it. Thanks so much for letting me know how things turned out for you (and for taking the time to comment).
