Whether a sheet mask or a mousse mask, facial masks can help solve a myriad of beauty problems.

They can help rejuvenate and refresh the skin – promoting a more radiant and youthful complexion, in addition to infusing your skin with a potent treatment of active ingredients.

So make sure you incorporate facial masks into your beauty routine.

Instant cooling

Sulwhasoo’s First Care Activating Mask is crafted entirely from the inner barks of young paper mulberry plants, with a high biodegradability of 99.6% and vegan certification.

The mask is drenched with the active ingredients of the brand’s First Activating Serum VI, penetrating the skin’s inner layer instantly, giving off a cooling effect which helps to lower the skin’s temperature.

To use, place the mask on your skin after cleansing with Sulwhasoo’s Gentle Cleansing Foam.

After 10 to15 minutes, remove the mask and gently and pat the remaining essence into your skin.

The mask is recommended for dehydrated and irritated skin from carrying out outdoor activities or UV exposure.

Mineral-rich mask

Innisfree’s Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask contains Jeju Volcanic Clusters & Spheres, which help remove excess oil and cleanse the pores.

Jeju volcanic ash is rich in minerals and has excellent absorptive abilities when it comes to excessive sebum and dead skin cells due to its porous structure.

The formula is said to be pretty powerful at absorbing excess oil, impurities, and fine dust from every part of the skin, including small pores and fine wrinkles.

It contains exfoliating ingredients including walnut shells, AHA, and BHA to wipe off dead skin cells, while the Jeju volcanic clusters and sulfur nutrition effectively work to effectively clear excess oil.

Seamless contour

Dr Dennis Gross DermInfusions Lift + Repair Eye Mask is a soothing and comforting lyocell–delivered vitamin infusion which uses naturally sourced, 100% biodegradable fibres to seamlessly contour the entire eye area.

This alternative to injectables claims to visibly improve age-related volume loss and enhances the results of aesthetic procedures.

The product is aimed at filling the appearance of fine lines, deeply hydrate, and repair the skin barrier while depuffing the undereye.

Holistic solution

Estee Lauder’s new Nutritious Collection is designed to unburden the look of dull, “grumpy” skin, with formulas consciously designed for normal, oily or combination skin with visible imbalances such as enlarged pores, excess oil, irritation, redness and dullness.

Within the collection, the Nutritious Melting Soft Creme Mask, a pillowy-soft cream with a comfortable, cushy feel melts into skin to calm, renew and strengthen skin with soothing 24-hour hydration.

Use it as a daily cream or as a weekly leave-in mask to reduce the look of pores, oiliness and red post-acne marks.

Deep purifying effect

Sigi Skin’s Garden Party Deep Cleansing Clay Mask is meant to effectively cleanse and minimise pores, prevent breakouts, and is specially formulated for optimal skin health.

This supercharged pudding consists of the brand’s special blend of kaolin clay, camu camu extracts, grapefruit seed extracts, rosemary extracts and astaxanthin.

It is designed to deeply purify skin and prevent breakouts without stripping it of moisture, rebalancing skin’s microbiome and pH levels.

The kaolin clay is what helps to gently draw out impurities from deep within the skin, resulting in unclogged and blemish-free skin.

Camu camu, found in the Amazon rainforest, is a rich source of vitamin C that prevents any cell damage from harmful environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays.
