This mask is super relaxing to use, first of all -- it does heat up (you have to press on the mask packet first, before opening it, kind of like a hand warmer) and the essence is pretty highly moisturizing. So this mask would be 5/5, except for the fact that it's incredibly sticky when you take it off. Like, the residue doesn't absorb, but just forms this odd, uncomfortable film on the skin. I'd definitely recommend washing your face after using this mask, which seems to defeat the purpose.
