Deep hydration but kind of a weird texture

Since the heating has come on this week, I have noticed my skin getting dehydrated and tight. I have also been using a stronger retinoid product and this mask has really helped to soothe and rehydrate my face. I don't really love sheet masks - they seem like a huge waste to me - but I was given this one so of course I was going to use it! The hydrogel is pretty awesome but a little sticky, it doesn't really absorb into the skin so I cleaned my face instead of just letting it sit on my skin. I also found that the sheet mask is kind of gross - it's a weird rubbery gel. It's cold and creepy and slimy.
