Nature Republic Tea Tree Mask Review

In this K-beauty review, we’ll be checking out the Real Nature Tea Tree Mask Sheet by the popular Korean cosmetics brand Nature Republic! We may be in the last stretch of winter, but warmer months are quickly approaching! As such, it’s important to have a good, natural skincare routine since the hotter months can really stress out our skin from harmful UV rays, as well as from excess oil and sweat. Sun protection and staying on top of breakouts is essential to keeping skin clear and healthy in warmer weather, especially since we’re likely to be outside more. Sheet masks are a great way to boost hydration and soothe sensitive skin to help achieve that radiant summer glow, and this mask is especially equipped to get the job done. Let’s check it out!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The Real Nature Tea Tree Mask Sheet is formulated with tea tree oil, which has antimicrobial properties and is known to soothe skin, fight acne, treat psoriasis and eczema, fade scars, and more. The mask ingredients also include chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, eucalyptus, and peppermint extracts, all of which can provide similar soothing and healing benefits for skin and skin conditions. The mask also hydrates and moisturizes, increases product absorption, and makes skin appear more radiant.

INGREDIENTS:

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Peg/ppg-17/6 Copolymer, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Xanthan Gum, 1,2- Hexanediol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp Copolymer, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Chanonilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE:

The mask material is thin but sturdy, however it was a bit difficult to unfold. The serum is thin, light-feeling, and not sticky. The scent is heavier in the package, but not overpowering. It doesn’t smell like tea tree oil at all, a plus for those that aren’t fans of the strong scent it has. It’s herby, a little earthy, and just slightly floral- reminiscent of a summer garden. I personally really enjoyed the fragrance.

I wore this in the car (hey, don’t judge hehe) with cold air blowing- I appreciate it when a sheet mask has a cooling effect on its own, but chilling your mask in the fridge or sitting in front of a fan are both good ways to keep it cool on your face. Not only does it feel nice (especially on a hot day), but it can help soothe your skin which is always an added bonus. The mask was relaxing and didn’t cause any feeling of irritation. It also stayed on without a problem while sitting upright the entire 30 minutes I wore it. The package didn’t have much leftover serum to use after, but what was left on my face absorbed very quickly with no feeling of stickiness.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The serum was adequately moisturizing, and it made my skin feel smoother and look brighter as most masks do, but unfortunately my skin wasn’t any less red afterward. However, while I didn’t notice too much improvement the following day, my mild acne did start to improve the day after that with no other changes to my skincare routine. While I wasn’t super wowed by it, it was still moisturizing and a nice experience overall, especially for the $2 USD price tag. I’d like to try it again to keep testing how it affects blemishes.

Recommend/Repurchase: Yes

RATING: 3.5 STARS

She constantly questions why it took her five years to notice BIGBANG and thinks “Platonic Love” by SNUPER is highly underrated. She’s most often found drinking tea, messing up her eyeliner, sending Kpop memes to her sister, doing anything but adulting, and crying over Jackson Wang.

Nature Republic Tea Tree Mask Review

Happy Friday! I wanted to kick off the weekend with a quick review of Nature Republic’s Real Nature Sheet Masks. I thought I was being super savvy when I bought this gigantic 60 pack of these sheet masks at duty free in Korea. It was only $18! How could I pass it up? It took me an embarrassingly long time to use them up and I’m finally down to my last 1!

You could say these are N.R’s version of the Innisfree’s My Real Squeeze masks. There are a variety of 'flavors’ to choose from- Tea Tree , Acai Berry, Green Tea, etc. The combo pack that I purchased had Aloe Vera, Rose, and Royal Jelly. Aloe Vera and Rose both moisturize and revitalizes skin. Royal Jelly nourishes skin and helps reduce wrinkles. These sheet masks normally sell for about $2 each, but they usually have some sort of promo. Amazon currently sells a 10 pack for $11, which is a great deal! Imagine if I actually bought 60 masks for $2 each- that would’ve cost me $120. I only paid $18!!! Oh the thrills of a bargain!

Was it worth it? Yes and no. The obvious reason it’s not worth it is because 60 is just too many masks for a skin care hoarder to use- I have a gigantic cabinet full of other sheet masks I collected and have not yet opened. You could say, “Just give them to friends and family!” Oh, I did. I tried. None are sheet maskers so they stopped accepting after the first few. It’s not a serious con so let’s move onto the pros!

These masks are more intense and provide better visible results than Innisfree’s My Real Squeeze masks ( I feel like Innisfree’s masks are a much more watered down version.). Each of the masks I used were ultra rich in hydration and always soothed/plumped up my skin. I could always count on it to calm down irritation- especially the Royal Jelly version. The essence used for these masks is much thicker than Innisfree, which is great for treating skin, but the downside is it’s sticky. I have to clip my hair back on days I use these masks otherwise it’s like a fly trap. It was really uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it. The mask itself is made of a thicker sheet of cotton and is cut pretty large for my face, but at least it doesn’t slip!

Overall, I think these Real Nature Sheet Masks are great to try. I prefer them over Innisfree’s as a budget mask if I need to soothe irritated skin. I wouldn’t recommend buying a 60 pack like I did, but maybe 5… or 10. :)

Is tea tree mask good for face?

This mask will help to clear impurities whilst absorbing excess sebum, leaving skin feeling smoother and clearer looking. Tea tree oil is the holy grail for oily and blemished skin, thanks to its naturally purifying talents.

Is tea tree mask good for acne?

Tea Tree Oil naturally fights against acne-causing bacteria and reduces acne inflammation while Salicylic Acid clears pore congestion, fights bacteria, and controls excess oil secretion. And because it's formulated as a refreshing mask, you can relax while these ingredients work hard to give you clear and healthy skin.

What are the benefits of tea tree face mask?

Using a tea tree mask for pimple reduction often helps because tea tree contains antibacterial and soothing properties that gently cleanse the skin and remove the infection. Its regular use also helps purify clogged skin pores, reduce acne and blemishes, heals acne marks, and soothes swelling.

How often should you use tea tree face mask?

Use 2-3 times a week for best results.
