My experience:
The Green Tea 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask by Etude House is one of those masks that is perfectly suited for every day use. I would also recommend doing the weekly treatments with it when you youse 7 masks for 7 days to intensively nourish, revitalize or hydrate your skin. In this case of the Green Tea 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask the hydration would be most obvious end result after such week treatment.
All of the masks from this series are coming in very colorful packaging and are very lightweight on the skin. The sheet is extremely thin and has opening for eyes and mouth. There are no further cutouts necessary because the mask fabric is somewhat stretchy and highly adherent on the skin. The essence in this particular version is very watery and lightly scented. Faint smell of green tea disappears once you apply the sheet on your face.
I am a big fan of the Therapy Air series. even though sometimes some masks are leaving a tacky finish on my skin which disappears within 30 minutes, my skin is left hydrated and brighter with zero stickiness after the essence is absorbed. On my skin it happens within 3 minutes. Because of that I highly recommend using it in the AM hours if you want to treat your face to something special in the morning. If I apply my make-up after using this mask, I am sure that no BB Cream would slide around my face. It feels almost like I have primed my face with some special primer, even though the only things I did in the morning are toning my face and used a sheet mask.
Overall, I am very impressed with the Green Tea 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask and had repurchased it while it was on sale at stylekorean. The current price was 1,20$ per sheet so I just got an entire box of these and HA ones. The wearing time of the Green Tea mask is around 20 min in the winter time (we got some humid air thanks to the non-stop raining) and 15 in the summer. Oh, almost forgot. This mask does contain alcohol in it but I’ve never had any skin reactions on this particular formulation after application. I can safely say that if you have sensitive skin like mine, you may like it as well.
