Masks: The Unbeatable Asset of K-Beauty
In Korea, face masks are a true cornerstone of the skincare routine. Used regularly, they deeply nourish the skin and can be tailored to meet all specific needs. In this fourth episode, discover why these masks are the key to perfect skin and which ones to choose.
There are different types of masks , each with its own unique advantages.
FABRIC MASKS
Sheet masks are prized for their ease of use and effectiveness. Impregnated with rich serums, they conform to the contours of the face for better absorption of active ingredients.
HYDROGEL MASKS
Hydrogel masks, on the other hand, are made from a gel-like material that adheres better to the skin. This type of mask retains more moisture and releases active ingredients more gradually, thus offering a more intensive skincare experience.
How to use them?
Apply the mask to your cleansed face and leave it on for 5-20 minutes. Massage in any excess serum without rinsing. Simple, quick, and effective! Use 1 to 4 times a week.
Recommendations: Try Reluz masks for nourished and radiant skin, available in our shop.
NIGHT MASKS AND RINSE MASKS
- Night Masks Applied as the final step in your routine, these masks do not require rinsing. They work overnight to intensively regenerate, hydrate, and/or nourish the skin of the face or lips.
- Rinse-off masks: Unlike sheet masks, rinse-off masks should be used before toner and essence to avoid removing previously applied skincare products. These masks are ideal for purifying and revitalizing the skin.
Frequency of use : 1 to 2 times per week for best results.
Recommendations: Boost your routine with Laneige's Sleeping Mask , for intense lip hydration upon waking, and Skin1004's Poremizing Centella de Madagascar Clay Mask , perfect for effectively purifying and tightening pores.
