I had this Mediheal Greenteatree Meshpeel Mask for almost half a year now but I was kinda hesitant to try this. Can you see all those peel layers on the packaging? It looks so intimidating and complicated! 😂 I finally decided to just go for it so here's my experience!
About the Mask
 |
| WHAT: Mediheal Greenteatree Meshpeel Mask, 17g PRICE & WHERE: 269 PHP at Watson's |
Mediheal's Meshpeel Masks feature special cotton sheet masks coated with clay. You can wear it like a regular sheet mask but it will dry up like a regular clay mask. Since the mask is clay on fabric, you can just peel it off after it dries!
The variant I have is the GreenTeaTree Meshpeel and it's supposed to soothe and clear the skin.
Ingredients:
Water, Kaolin, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Bentonite, Polysorbate 80, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Stearic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Tromethamine, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil (1,500 ppm), Allantoin, Panthenol, Zizyphus Jujuba Leaf Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, Cucumis Sativa (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract, Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract (1,000 ppm), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Disodium EDTA
How to Use:
1) Cleanse face and apply toner to balance skin PH before placing the mask on your face.
2) Take out mask and remove transparent sheet and place it on your face.
3) Take off the other side of the mask that consists of non transparent sheet.
4) Leave mask on for about 50-60 minutes.
5) Remove mask from bottom to top and gently massage the remainder essence into the skin.
6) Wash the skin after use.
The mask is separated into two pieces for easier application. Both sides of the upper and lower pieces are protected by a plastic backing. It smells like how clay typically smells but it's mixed with tea trea. It's earthy with a little bit of mint in it.
The side with the clear plastic backing should be the one in contact with your skin. I think the white sheet is mostly there to help you with the application. You'll know which side is which because the inner part has more clay in it. Once I'm satisfied with the placement of the mask, I removed the white plastic backing.
The mask is made of fabric that is soft and nicely conforms to my features. It is flexible and you can mold it for a closer fit. The forehead and nose part is a bit too long for me but you can easily fold the extra material. It is cooling while wet and felt soothing and relaxing to use.

My Experience
 |
| First look at what's inside. |
 |
| The upper part of the mask. |
 |
| great fitting mask 😍 |
 |
| The mask is drying. You can still see the wet areas. |
The instructions say I have to leave this on for 50-60 minutes. After a while, the mask started to dry and it tightened little by little. It dried completely after 60 mins for me.
I started taking it off by peeling it from the bottom up. I don't think it was painful but next time, I would definitely position the eyeholes a little bit lower. I have to pull and tug the mask to get it off and you don't want that for the delicate eye area.
Results?

| Look how stiff it is! |
A super thin layer of clay & essence was left behind when I took the mask off. I patted it in to let my skin absorb it all. In hindsight, I should have washed off the remaining clay to prevent clogging but thankfully, I did not get closed comedones or breakouts the next morning. If you have sensitive skin, I would definitely recommend washing it off.
Final Verdict
This was fun to use! It's a new experience for me and I really like the results.
Just need to point out a few cons: (1) it takes longer to dry than a regular clay/sheet mask so I recommend using this only when you have plenty of time (2) this may not be for people with sensitive skin or low pain threshold and (3) at 279 PHP per mask, it's expensive! For the price of 2-3 pieces, you can get a jar of clay powder like the Aztec Healing Clay or those Innisfree jars which is enough for up to a year of usage.
If you don't mind those cons and just wanna try a new way of sheet masking, then I recommend this mask!
Will I repurchase? Yes, especially if I catch it on sale! I know Mediheal Meshpeel also have a PinkCalamine and a BlackCharcoal version. I might try those next time!
