Review (5/5): As Advertised- Really nice salon-quality face smoothing treatment
I have been seeing these kind of moisture/calming masks on some of the morning talk shows so decided to try Yew Tree Stem Cell Perfect Calming Soothing Mask. Korean beauty is hot right and needed to try as I LOVE finding new beauty products.
Most plant stem cell beauty products use the Edelweiss, a mountain flower so Yew Tree a stem cell product from the Yew Tree is intriguing. They come wrapped in 5 individual packages with full description and directions on each. I started with a freshly cleansed face and added the very wet mask to my face. Took a little finagling to get it in place but once I did, it stayed in place. The strip that goes above the lip could be a bit wider, as that is a spot that could use some smoothing for some women, but all the rest is pretty "face friendly". I let it sit for 20 minutes, rinse with cool water and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh my face looked. No need for any additional moisturizer. I dabbed a little eye cream under my eyes and was good to go. Also, as to not let a drop of the soothing elixir that is leftover in the package and fingers, I smooth it over my neck and decolletage. Very nice! I am in my early 50's and it really is nice to look fresh and dewy-skinned, even if it is just a temporary home beauty treatment.
Huge splurge for me but if you went to a salon, it would cost you a whole lot more. A luxurious splurge that makes your face look, and feel special. A friend is getting married this Spring and can't afford expensive salon treatments, so I am putting a special spa bag together for her and a couple single packages of Yew Tree Stem Cell Perfect Calming Soothing Mask will be front and center in her "home" salon treatment pack.
I am pleased with this product. I almost took a star away for the too thin strip for the above lip area but that could just be me being cranky. Seemed like a lot of care and research went into making it and it shows.
