Hydrogel mask: new revolution in Korean masks

Hydrogel masks have become essential in the beauty world, particularly in Korea, where cosmetic innovation is constantly evolving. Thanks to their unique texture and their ability to adhere to the skin, these masks are prized for their effectiveness in deeply hydrating and revitalizing the skin.

What is a hydrogel mask?

Hydrogel masks differ from traditional sheet masks in their material. Composed of a thick, translucent gel, they are often made from bio-cellulose or natural polymers that form a gel texture. Hydrogel masks adhere better to the skin, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients and increased comfort during application.

The advantages of hydrogel masks

• Intense hydration: Hydrogel masks are particularly prized for their ability to provide deep hydration. Their gel composition retains moisture, allowing the skin to stay moisturized longer. They often contain powerful hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or collagen, which help to plump and revitalize the skin.

• Enhanced absorption of active ingredients: Thanks to their gel texture, hydrogel masks allow the active ingredients in the serum to penetrate more effectively into the deeper layers of the skin. This maximizes results, whether for soothing, nourishing, or treating specific concerns such as signs of aging or redness.

• Cooling effect: The gel material provides an immediate cooling effect when applied to the skin, helping to reduce inflammation, under-eye bags, and soothe irritated or sensitive skin.

• Perfect adhesion : Unlike fabric masks that can slip, hydrogel masks perfectly conform to the contours of the face. This optimal adhesion allows for even distribution of active ingredients and prevents the mask from drying out too quickly.

• Variety of active ingredients: Hydrogel masks can be formulated with a wide range of active ingredients to address different skin needs: soothing (Centella Asiatica), anti-aging (peptides, collagen), brightening (vitamin C), or moisturizing (hyaluronic acid).

Which skin types benefit most from hydrogel masks?

Hydrogel masks are particularly well-suited to dehydrated, dull, or mature skin. However, thanks to their versatility, they can also be suitable for sensitive, oily, or combination skin, depending on the formulation.

Here are some examples of key ingredients to look for depending on your skin's needs:

• Dry skin: Choose hydrogel masks containing hyaluronic acid, aloe, or panthenol for intense hydration.
• Mature skin: Masks with collagen, peptides or marine extracts help to firm and revitalize the skin, while smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
• Sensitive skin: Look for soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, green tea, or chamomile extract to reduce inflammation and calm redness.
