Each Korean sheet mask boasts its own set of effects and benefits, but with so many options, it can be a tad overwhelming to pinpoint the perfect match for your skin. IN this blog, we're here to break down this fascinating field for you and help you discover your ideal mask soulmate. Let the matching game begin!

Q&A: How to Use Masks

 

How can I incorporate masks into my skincare routine?

    The method of using a mask varies depending on its type. For a wash-off mask, apply it after cleansing the skin and remove excess water from the surface. When using a sheet mask, apply it after cleansing and toning the skin. As for a sleeping mask, it is best applied at the end of the night skincare routine.

     

    How long do I need to leave a mask on the face?


      Sheet Mask:

      Most sheet masks are designed to be left on the face for about 15 to 20 minutes. 

       

      Wash-Off Mask:

      The recommended time for wash-off masks is typically around 10 to 15 minutes. However, this can vary based on the mask's formulation and purpose. Rinse off the mask thoroughly after the specified time.

       

      Sleeping Mask:

      Sleeping masks are meant to be left on overnight. Apply them as the last step in your evening skincare routine and leave them on until the next morning. 

       

      How often should I use a sheet mask?

        You have the flexibility to adjust the frequency of sheet mask use based on your skin condition, ranging from daily application to several times a week. Typically, many people find using a sheet mask 1 to 3 times a week to be advantageous for their skincare routine.

         

        Should I wash my face after using a sheet mask?

          No, there is typically no need to wash your face after using a sheet mask. Once you remove the sheet, gently pat the remaining serum into your skin. If you find there is an excess amount of product, you can use a tissue or cotton pad to gently wipe it off.

           

          Can I use a sheet mask if I have sensitive skin?

            Yes! If you have sensitive skin, opt for products with a gentle formula that hydrates and calms the skin without causing irritation. Avoid rubbing the skin with the sheet and refrain from leaving it on the face for too long, as this can lead to dryness and potential irritation.
