These 10 Korean Face Masks Are K-Celeb Approved
What makes Korean face masks different?
Korean face sheet masks are noticeably bigger and rounder in shape, so every inch of your face is covered in the serum-infused fabric sheet. The serum’s textures can vary from watery and essence-like to creamy. The sheet itself creates an occlusive environment that helps the serum’s ingredients better penetrate into your skin. If it’s not in sheet mask form, Koreans also use a sleeping mask in a cream or gel formula to transform their skin overnight. Talk about beauty sleep!
These skincare masks also typically promote brightening, anti-ageing, pore minimising, and general hydrating benefits to achieve that clear, smooth complexion K-celebs all have. Popular ingredients include snail mucin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. But the ingredients list is very very long since Korean skincare formulators are always innovating something new in their labs. It’s needless to say but there will be a Korean beauty face mask to help solve any skin woe.
Want to try one or add a new pick to your skincare arsenal? Here are 11 Korean sheet masks you can get in Singapore.
