BOSCIA Hydrogel Masks: Charcoal, Vitamin C, Green Tea

The recent innovations from boscia arrived at Sephora and this face mask fanatic couldn’t be happier. Bringing the latest in Hydrogel technology, the Japanese authority in natural skincare launched three sheet masks to solve and correct some of the most frustrating complexion conundrums. On point and no-nonsense, the new formulas are Charcoal Pore-Minimizing, Vitamin C Brightening, and Green Tea Mattifying.

With some of the best peel-off masks on the market, boscia’s addition of single use sheet masks is a much appreciated expansion. Composed of two pieces that apply separately to meet above the upper lip area, the sheets feel like slightly slimy rubber but in fact are made of natural vegetable fibers. Infused with Marine Collagen, every one of the new variations is moisture boosting and skin plumping to promote firmer, smoother looking skin.

Great for those battling enlarged pores and congested skin, Charcoal Pore-Minimizing Hydrogel Mask purifies and soothes with clarifying and refining results. Known as the ‘Black Diamond of Asia’ Charcoal has been celebrated for its anti-bacterial, detoxifying, and healing benefits. Dark graphite in color, it may make you look like Hannibal Lecter when you have it on but once you take it off, you’re definitely red carpet ready. You may need a magnifying glass to find them pores.

Loaded with high concentrations of Vitamin C, peptides, and plant extracts, the Vitamin C Brightening Hydrogel Mask lifts, tones, and revives dull skin in need of a boost. This complexion energizing medley also diffuses the appearance of fine lines. When used consistently, it addresses hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. Offering superb antioxidant protection, this one is a must for anyone who’s ever been out in the sun. Read: everybody.

Life saving for anyone suffering from breakouts and excessive oiliness, the Green Tea Mattifying Hydrogel Mask calms and repairs sensitive, temperamental skin. One of the most sophisticated botanicals, Japanese Green Tea has the ability to decrease sebum production by fifty percent while reducing inflammation caused by bacteria and sun exposure.  The key ingredient, which I happen to favor, the mask’s chic green hue, and the shine free vibrant glow it delivers, this may just be my favorite of the three.

Because the boscia Hydrogel Masks are created in two sections, they cover the face perfectly. Smooth in texture, they adhere to your skin and stay in place, which is a luxury when it comes to sheet masks. Without any slipping or sliding, they are cooling and comfortable while the active ingredients penetrate deep into the skin. You absolutely do not need to lay down. Wear one for 20 minutes and pat in the excess before continuing with your routine. Free of preservatives, added color or fragrance, they’re also pH balanced.

At $8 per mask, you not only need to try all three but multiples are in hoarder! I mean order. While i advise against using them in-flight, they should be the first thing on your face before you head hits the pillow after your hotel check in. Perfect for travel, before a big day or after a late night, the new boscia treats won’t disappoint. Available exclusively at Sephora.com.
