Review: But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask

[Disclaimer: This mask set was sent to me for review purposes. However, all opinions are of my own and not purposely written more positively/more negatively because the product was sent to me.]

With the widespread popularity of Taiwanese masks among Singaporeans, it is of no surprise that we have yet another new brand of masks coming in from Taiwan! The But, Becky masks! :) 

Secretive has very nicely sponsored me the But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask set and it's quite lucky for me to have receive the Anti-Ageing version because I think I desperately need intense Anti-Ageing products!! Old already!!

The But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask set contains 8 masks and retails for S$14.90 at selected Watsons stores.

The But, Becky masks are endorsed by Aaron Yan (Yan Ya Lun of Fahrenheit). Plus points there simply because there's a handsome guy endorsing the brand. :D

I really appreciate brands that take those extra steps in assuring their customers. In this case, it's clearly written that the masks are oil-free and non-comedogenic, hence for those with troubled skin and easily irritated skin, you can be assured that this mask will minimise the chances of you getting a bad reaction.

As with all masks, the application process is easy and quick. It's quite enticing to leave the mask on for more than 15 minutes. Some people even sleep with the mask still on their faces! It's advisable that you refrain from doing so because by sleeping with your mask on, it increases the likelihood of you getting premature wrinkles! Also, masks that contain glycolic acid should not be left on the face for longer than the recommended time because leaving it on for too long can cause skin irritation! 

The But, Becky masks are all designed for Asian skin and while refreshing your skin, the masks also help to lift your skin through its double woven mask sheet design (complete with ear hooks). 

Ingredients List

The But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask contains Vitamin C and E, and also wild yam that's amazing for delaying ageing process! Hooray to wild yam!

The mask also promises:

• to help with sebum regulation
• to keep skin hydrated

Other varieties of the But, Becky masks. 

Mask sheet: It's made of a woven material, and hence it's highly stretchable, which means the mask will be able to fit itself onto the contour of anyone's face. However, one difficulty I had after application is after I hooked the ear-hooks on my ears, it gets quite difficult to get rid of the air bubbles without compromising other parts. As can be seen from the application photos above, some air bubbles were still present and hence the product was not fully absorbed by the skin at some parts. 

Mask smell: My sister said it smelled really bad, while I thought the smell was really herbal and pleasant. I guess it can go two ways: either you love the smell or you hate it. There's no "ok lah" here because the mask really smells like wild yam, in a herbal and medicinal sort of way. There's no floral bits or fruity whiffs, it's all herbal, and that's why I love it so much! Some masks have overpowering floral scents that bring me to migraine hell. The But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask has that herbal smell that soothes you and that gives you the impression that it's going to work! 

Absorption rate: This is a stellar mask when it comes to how fast my skin absorbed the liquid goodness. I don't know how the chemistry behind it works, but I'm quite sure the molecules that made up the liquid are really really really tiny molecules. After I removed the mask, all the essence was absorbed into my skin within 5 minutes. I had dry, smooth skin afterwards! No more sticky mess! YAY!

Does it work? Since I received the set, I have used the But, Becky Age-Lock & Moisturizing Wild Yam Mask for a total of 4 times, and it did not irritate my skin or break me out, so I'm a happy reviewer! :) Hydrating-wise, the But, Becky mask does its job well, and I think it's a good mask to put on after a really long day at work or in school. Whether or not it helps to delay ageing will have to be confirmed after continuous usage over a long period of time, so I cannot guarantee that this But, Becky mask will delay ageing. 

However, over-all, it's a good mask to have and it's so affordable too! S$14.90 for 8!
