Last year, in December/January edition of focus, we wrote about 8+ Masks by Jema Rose Skincare and, as we’ve got a bit of free time on our hands, thought we would do a deeper dive into these masks.
Finding a fabulous mask can do wonders for your skin – we trialled the 8+ Replenishing Hydration Facial Mask, the Goat Milk Rejuvenating Mask and the SYN-AKE Restoring Eye Mask, over a two month period.
8+ SYN-AKE Restoring Eye Mask
There are five pairs of eye masks in each box, each containing 8ml of serum that works on improving skin elasticity, regeneration of collagen and hydration. The serum is enriched with Chitin which moisturises the skin and is known for its antioxidant properties and SYN-AKE peptide – a synthetic form of snake venom which, evidently, reduces the muscular contractions around the eyes thereby softening the skin and preventing the deepening of any wrinkles.
The eye pads and serum are in different pouches but there are easy to follow directions on how to mix them. For the best results, we recommend cleansing your face before applying any masks. The eye masks are easy to slide into place and should be left in place for 8-15 minutes. Carefully remove and gently massage any excess serum into your skin and voila!
8+ Goat Milk Rejuvenating Mask with Cherry Blossom Extract
A great full mask that exfoliates, brightens and moisturises the skin. The silky, plant-based fabric is soaked in serum and is easy to slip into place. Once again, make sure you cleanse your face before applying and, whilst it’s on, give yourself 8-10 minutes of relaxation time. The complex vitamins and probiotic lactic acid gently brighten and moisturise the skin and the cherry blossom extract – which is rich in antioxidants and caffeic acid – helps repair the skin’s natural barriers.
Once you remove the mask, there is quite a bit of serum left over. Massage this into your face, neck and décolletage and leave for as long as you can. It is a little sticky and you can remove any access if you need to.
8+ Replenishing Hydration Mask
Another full face mask – immersed in a hydrating serum that includes hyaluronic acid – which is easy to slip into place. Apply to a cleansed face and leave in place for 8-10 minutes.

Overall impressions
We were really pleased with the results from the three different masks and each one did what the pack claimed. The effects only last for about 6-8 hours so would be good to use before a night out.
We also like the fact that Jema Rose Skincare products are 100 percent free of parabens, silicone, synthetic pigments and alcohol.
