For the past few weeks, I have been testing using Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask. I’ve partnered with Kiehl’s on this post to share how it works and how I’ve been liking it. In short, I love it.
I have been pretty into face masks in general lately, but I love that this is one that you put on at night and leave on overnight. It does all the work while you sleep so you wake up with beautiful skin. Beautiful and firm skin!
I would say that the first half of my twenties was all about establishing a routine for my skin. I slowly worked on figuring out what worked for my skin and what my skin really needed, like a moisturizer! Once I got in the habit of taking care of my skin properly (versus just using a basic face wash and/or a makeup remover wipe and calling it a day), I realized the benefits of taking those extra steps. Now, for the second half of my twenties, I have focused my energy on anti-aging products.
Because I loved Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, I was eager to test out their Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask. One thing that I appreciate about Kiehl’s is how they combine natural ingredients (in this case ginger leaf and botanical hibiscus) and the latest innovations developed by their chemists. The ginger leaf helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and the hibiscus hydrates and firms skin immediately and over time.
The Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Mask is an overnight mask. So after you cleanse your skin and apply after your nightly routine: cleanser, toner, eye cream, serum… just replace your moisturizer with the overnight mask instead. It has an absolutely luxurious smell (I really wish you could smell this through the screen!) and a wonderfully smooth texture.
To get the most out of the mask, apply it in an upward and circular motion. I apply it everywhere, even going down to my neck. When I first tested the product, I was curious to see how it would hold up throughout the night; namely, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t messy. I could tell that first night that it’s such a clean mask. It definitely passed the “pillowcase test!”
The best part is waking up with skin that looks better than it did the day before! I saw a difference in the evenness of my skin after the first night and I have started to see a difference in my fine lines since starting.
Can’t wait to keep using this to see even more benefits over time.

Thank you to Kiehl’s and Shopstyle for sponsoring this post!
If I need a destressor, the first thing I think of is a mask! It’s the perfect way to treat yourself and take care of yourself. I mean, what can’t a mask fix?? Also, I find the routine of using masks very calming, much like how I find the routine of making coffee calming 🙂 I’m so grateful for every moment of peace in this busy busy world. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
I agree! I actually keep this next to my bed to use right before I go to bed… a nice little ritual for sure!
I love Kiehl’s products! In fact, the other day I just bought something from their store. Joining their membership programme was the best thing ever haha! 😉

It’s seriously the BEST. Love how your video turned out!
At my job, I work with Kiehl’s a lot and absolutely love their products! My entire routine is Kiehl’s products (Midnight Recovery Oil is great!)
For sure try out the Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask–It’s like a natural highlighter for your face. You’ll glow!
Loved this post–definitely my next purchase!
Love this!! I’ll definktely need to try this out soon. Glad it passed the “pillowcase” test, I haven’t tried an overnight mask and have always worried about that!
In terms of nightly routines, do you have a post that shows what you use? Or do you have a serum recommendation? I’d love to add one to my routine but I’m not sure where to start! I also keep going back and forth between when I should add in retinol (I’m 28, but in all about prevention and self care so feel like I should add it soon!).
Just did a video on my Youtube channel– includes the two serums I switch between!
Perfect!! I’ll have to watch that soon 😊
ohhh I love kiehl’s! I just watched allana davison’s vlog last night of she and the other bloggers in vietnam with kiehl’s and this newest mask … so cool to see the actual ginger being cut/harvested! this looks like another great product, can’t wait to try!!
This looks so cool! I’ll have to try, thanks for sharing!

I am a HUGE advocate for masks, but I always hate that I have to take a huge plunge to try one instead of getting a good feel for it. I’ve got this one now in my shopping cart thanks to you!
