//KBEAUTY/PR SAMPLE/SKINCARE//

This is my first review after a long time! I did take a long hiatus from blogging, but now I’m back with new energy and motivation. My review today is about the Leaders Coconut Bio Mask. I reviewed the Leaders 7 Wonders Biocellulose Masks before and loved them so much back then, that I was very curious about these coconut masks and couldn’t wait to try them.

Leaders Coconut Bio Masks

The Leaders Coconut Bio Mask comes in four versions, dedicated to various superfoods that are used as key ingredient. There are the versions with blueberry,  tomatoes, brokkoli, and orange. Each sheet mask is packed in a sachet with the key ingredient displayed . This makes the mask design very colorful and vibrant! I loved to take pictures of the sheet masks thanks to this beautiful design. If you go for the Coconut Bio Mask Special Set you will receive a box  that contains one of each kind. The masks are no cotton sheet masks, but instead they are naturally fermented coconut gel masks.

Leaders Coconut Bio Masks

I used all four Leaders Coconut Bio Masks very quickly because of several reasons: first of all, I love these biocellulose masks made from fermented coconut A LOT! they adhere perfectly to my skin and also fit greatly to my facial shape. In contrast to hydrogel masks that keep sliding off my face, and are torn very easily, these are so pleasant to use. You have to remove two layers of protective film though! The second reason why I loved these masks were that they make the skin feel smooth and hyddrated. It is hard to say which of these was my favorite though, because as you can see from comparing the ingredients, all the masks are similar, except of the key ingredient. I liked them all.  Also, it’s great that they are free from parabens, alcohol and sulphates. There are some fungal acne triggers though according to Skincarisma. I didn’t experience any irritations, but every person and skin type reacts in a different way. One downside for sensitive skin types is that the masks are not free from fragrances, and also the Orange mask can be too much for some skin types, because of the exfoliating effects of vitamin C. All in all, I’m very happy with my Leaders Coconut Bio Mask experience and I can definitely recommend you to try these. Especially, if you don’t like hydrogel masks, you can give these biocellulose masks a try instead!

Have you tried biocellulose masks, yet? What do think of these Leaders sheet masks?

The 3 masks were really a nice experience and what I especially loved was the nice fit. The material is soft and yet elastic and can be folded perfectly onto the face. It is layered with protective paper sheet, which you can see above, but on the pictures below you see how the actual material looks like. The biocellullose also adheres nicely to the skin and doesn’t fall or slip around while wearing it.

Leaders 7 Wonders

After using each of the masks my skin felt always hydrated and more bouncy. Of course, by using the masks once each it is difficult to say something about their specific effects on the skin, though.

Leaders 7 Wonders

All in all, I’m heavily in love with these masks: wonderful fit, very adherent and super nice effect in terms of how they act on the skin. Additionally, the packaging design which is simply gorgeous! I can highly recommend you to try these masks, despite the fact that they are a bit more expensive. Each mask retails for 5 €, a set of 5 masks retails for 19.90€.
