There is a buy 1, get 1 free promotion this Friday, Jan. 8th on Leaders and Karuna masks. I suggest you stock up and take advantage of this rare opportunity if you're interested in these two brands.

My Skin Type: I've got oily, acne prone skin which can be sensitive at times. In my battle with hormonal cystic acne I'm often left with red, angry looking post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation regardless of whether I pick at the pimple or not. I tend to look for sheet masks that calm, soothe, and brighten my skin.

My Thoughts
If you already read my 7 Wonders Anti-Pollution Mask review, some of the things I'll talk about will be redundant but just in case you haven't...The Coconut Calming Mask has a light, floral scent which isn't my favorite but I don't mind it. It's lightly fragranced so it shouldn't bother you too much. Leaders masks have a wide fit in general and this one is no different. It fits my face quite well; I just wish it were a little longer.

This particular mask was a perfect one for me because I was experiencing some major hormonal acne bumps on the lower half of my face. The mask can be difficult to place on to your face if you're not used to bio-cellulose masks. Open carefully and remember there is a protective film on each side of the mask. There is plenty of essence on the mask and left over in the pouch for a few more uses.
You can see the redness and spots on my face through the mask!
I left the mask on for 25 minutes and didn't notice anything initially. I was a little worried after using the Anti-Pollution mask because it left my face so greasy afterwards. But, the temperature in NYC has since gone down 15-20 degrees and the essence in the Calming Mask was not sticky at all. The next morning the majority of redness and acne bumps on my face were dramatically reduced. It gave me similar results as the Leaders Coconut Gel Balancing Recovery Mask which I adore.

Final Thoughts
I love the results this Leaders 7 Wonders Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask gave me in calming down my acne but I'm not sure I'd pay the full $6 for it. (especially when the Leaders Super Food and Bio-Medicuring masks are significantly cheaper) However the BOGO free deal at Ulta puts each mask at $3 which is a reasonable price. I might have to break my no buy because of this! The mask is a much better fit for my skin type than the Anti-Pollution one and I really think all skin types will enjoy the Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask. A thumbs up from me!

P.S. I'll try to have the 7 Wonders Himalayan Camellia Pore Minimizing Mask review up by Friday.
