Facial mask is a must-need item for many beauty lovers, because applying a mask has many benefits, such as moisturizing, whitening, brightening, firming, anti-aging, and gentle exfoliating. You can choose a mask on your own needs. Sheet mask and clay mask are the two most common styles on the market. Sheet mask is usually composed of silk or fiber mask paper and essence, which is effective and easy to use. It raises the temperature of the skin, expands the pores, and allows the essence to penetrate into the skin quickly, to solve skin problems. Generally packed in bottles, clay mask is sticky and can be attached to the face with cream or gel texture, mainly for cleansing and moisturizing effects. However, for novices, it is difficult to control the amount of clay mask, and neither applying too thin nor too thick can achieve an ideal effect. In general, sheet mask is more convenient to use and carry around.
It may be the most relaxing time of your day when you are applying a facial mask, and you can drink a glass of wine, read a book or watch an episode of a TV show at the same time. If you want a cooling sensation especially in summer, you can put the facial mask in the refrigerator one hour before use. We have carefully selected 10 facial masks that are comfortable and effective, and we hope that they can bring you beautiful skin in just 15 minutes.
