I really love the way this mask makes my skin feel! After 15 minutes, my skin feels cool, hydrating and firm, with a bit of a glow! I’m not sure I totally understand the 2 pieces in the pouch. I believe one is a lining, and the other goes over the top. the mask stays in place so well, I felt like I didn’t need the top layer and it was a bit much. the mask fits my face pretty well and is easy to fit it, without it tearing. My ingredient checker gives this mask an Excellent grade, and so do I!
