Review | Etude House I Need You, Lemon! Sheet Mask

I have always been obsessed with bright skin, even before the whole KBeauty wave hit our shores. Maybe it's because I've been plagued with acne-prone skin ever since I was... 19? I've always been looking out for products which helps to brighten skin tones because products with brightening effects tend to help lighten acne scars as well. I believe these 2 effects pretty much go hand-in-hand.

Whilst lemons have so many health benefits, lemons have amazing benefits for our skin as well. 

1. Astringent: 

 Lemon is a great astringent and can be used as a skin astringent as well.

2. Remove Excess Oil from Skin: 

 Lemon juice can work wonders for oily skin. Using lemon juice on skin can help reduce the excess oiliness of the skin. 

3. Antiseptic: 

Lemon juice is a natural antiseptic and if used within a facial mask, it can help clear oil and dirt as well as bacteria which cause breakouts. 

4. Reduce Acne: 

 Lemon juice is very effective to reduce acne. Use a small cotton bud dipped in freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply this on acne to help reduce its appearance.

5. Remove Scars: 

Lemon juice is also said to be effective on pimples and acne scars. Using freshly pressed lemon juice over scars after cleansing face in the evening will help reduce the appearance of scars.

6. Lighten Blemishes: 

Use lemon juice to lighten the freckle marks effectively. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice on freckles before going to bed at night. Follow the method for two weeks to see the freckles appear lightened. If you feel the raw juice is too strong for your skin, add a little water to dilute it. This way the intensity will lessen. 

7. Lighten Age Spots: 

Use lemon juice to make age marks less visible. Use lemon juice on the body parts such as elbows, knees, face, hands to get smooth skin and less visible age marks.

So today, I'm going to be talking about Etude House's I Need You, Lemon! Mask Sheet (Tone Brightening). I'm so excited because this mask is amazing. Definitely one of my favourite masks of the moment!

Overall:

PROS:

• Affordable
• Smells really good
• Light weight essence
• Hydrating
• Brightens skin
• Smoothens skin texture
• Leaves a dewy finish

CONS:

• Besides the fit, nothing

Honestly I think this mask is a close second to the I Need You, Olive! mask, and only because it isn't as hydrating as the Olive mask. It is hydrating, don't get me wrong, but not as much compared to the Olive mask. 

However, the brightening capabilities of this baby is phenomenal. I love how bright and clear my skin looks the day after I use this mask. I think this mask is perfect if you want bright and clear skin for the day.
