On a Budget: Guardian Pharmacy Green Tea Face Mask

June 23, 2010 Paris B 10 Comments

Last night, I was feeling out of sorts (got into a quarrel and had to work late) so by the time it came to bedtime, I needed some serious relaxation and unwinding time. Rooting through my stash I came across a Guardian Green Tea Face Mask I’d forgotten I had.

To sum it up, I found myself really liking it! And then this morning, I saw that Jenn and the commentators on her post had disliked it. Eeps! But nevermind. I still liked it anyway 🙂

Note: Not everyone will like this!

I have a big face 😛 so the mask was quite a good fit except along the sides where it was a tad big; but it didn’t quite trouble me because it meant that the mask fit all along my hairline. Many sheet masks do not.

The green tea scent is quite strong but I found it surprisingly calming. Considering I was all heated up, it was something! Also, when I laid it on my face and lay back to read in bed and with the air conditioning on, it was lovely and cool on my skin, rapidly cooling down my skin (and temper).

I found that the mask was well and truly wet with the essence but it did not drip (plus point) and it lasted quite a while before drying up (another plus point). I noticed that its Made in Taiwan – it comes with a plastic sheet folded with the mask too. Reminded me of the My Beauty Diary masks (also from Taiwan!) Ingredient list is below.

My skin felt moisturized after using the mask and I’m not fussed about “whitening” although my skin did appear to look a tad brighter. But bear in mind this was at night and I wasn’t bothered to see if it really was 😛 Followed up with my regular skincare and I think its all good coz my face felt all plumped up and cool!

Pros: Skin felt moisturized, Affordable, Relaxing scent
Cons: Quite pricey for a house brand, scent is quite strong if you are sensitive

I believe a single face mask retails at RM5.90 or thereabouts at Guardian Pharmacies nationwide and from recollection, house brands tend to go on sale often.

Have you tried the Guardian Face Mask?

I seem to recall that there are other “flavours” of the Guardian Face Mask so I might give one or two more a shot (if I see them on sale). Also, lots of people seem to think the one from Watson’s is better so I might give that one a shot too! 😀

    Hi Paris,
    Happy Day to you! Coincidentally, I just got a Guardian mask free with my purchase of 3 boxes Guardian cotton pads for RM9.90 yesterday. There are 4 types to choose from; Green Tea, Lavender, Chamomile and Pomegranate. I chose the Pomegranate one which is for intense hydration but have yet to try it.

      Ahh… I think I’ve seen the Lavender one but since everyone seems to think highly of Pomegranate I shall try that next!

    ^ Haha! I got mine free with the 3 boxes of Guardian cotton pads too! And I didn’t realise that the free mask was packaged in with the cotton pads. If I’d known, I’d have chosen the lavender one. Instead, I got the chamomile mask. I think I’ll try that out tomorrow.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
