KOREAN FACE MASK

Korean face mask also called as sheet masks are single-use cotton pads that have been dried in powerful skin reviving ingredients. These masks are often of the full face variety and are redolent of the early hockey mask.

Most of the Korean mask are made to rest on the curves of your face. And accordingly, the mask inject all the active ingredients into the skin for the immediate result in a short span of time. They are popular due to their skin smoothing ingredients, but in spite of this, they provide only limited and temporary surface benefits and results. Now let us study about Korean masks in details.

WHAT DO KOREAN FACE MASKS DO?

As said above, Korean mask injects their active ingredients into your skin, but they are more than the active ingredients. Active ingredients are only a part of actual healing. The actual clout of Korean mask lies in locking the active ingredients against your skin.

Let’s think this way: most of the skin care products that we use evaporate after a few minutes that is, it takes twenty minutes or more to penetrate your skin. So most of the time, when you put your moisturizer on your face it evaporates before it can do any good for your skin. But when you use Korean face mask it acts as a barrier between your skin and the air around and keeps your skin moisturized.

Another benefit of Korean mask is that it does not get dry easily and get hard unlike many other mud or cream based mask available in the market. This sheet mask helps in drawing out excess oil from your skin, but when they become dry, they crack and break. This allows moisture that all skin requires to slip through the cracks. As such sheet mask has no problem, but sometimes it’s too messy, wet and difficult to apply.

As long as you wear the Korean mask your skin will be moisturized.

REASONS WHY KOREAN MASKS WORK:

Many people claim that the active ingredients are the solely responsible for doing all good. But this is just façade for the true hero of the skincare world. The real reason why Korean face masks works is “moisture”.

Moisture performs many vital roles:

Keeps skin soft and flexible which allow it to resist damage.

Helps in producing collagen and elastin in deep layers of skin.

Help clean and reduce damage caused by environmental factors like dirt, dust, allergens and harmful UV rays.

HOW TO USE SHEET MASKS?

Sheet masks are very easy to apply. Apply it on a clean face, then leave it for 20-30 minutes, and then take it off. You can use this mask as often as you want. If in case you are busy in cooking, cleaning,

reading or watching T.V., you can use it even at that time also, because the best thing about this mask is that you don’t have to wash it off, as soon as it becomes dry it cracks and breaks.

The sheet masks are one-size-fits-all, but as we know every face is different in shape and size so it would be better if you start from the forehead and pat it softly as you can come down to your face while coating up the holes for your eyes, mouth, and nose. You can use it many a time a day you want but generally, it is recommended to use it three times a week or once a day for extra care.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SHEET MASK?

It helps in enhancing the skin.

The serum which is used is filled with different vitamins and minerals and do not allow the skin to dry fast as compared to different mask available.

Some sheet mask claims to brighten and make your skin firm.

They are less expensive, convenient and easy to apply and finally brings glowing effect on your skin.

WHAT ARE SOME NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF USING THE SHEET MASKS?

As we know each and everything has a positive and negative  side, so Korean mask also has some negative effects such as:

They only help in nourishing the skin and not in exfoliating or cleansing the skin just like other masks.

Also, serum from low-quality sheet mask evaporates fast before it gets soaked into innermost layers of skin.

In spite of having negative sides its been widely used because benefits derived are more as compared to negative effects. Also instead of using the normal sheet masks, you can also use organic sheet mask.

SPECIALTY OF ORGAID’S ORGANIC SHEET MASK

It’s the only sheet mask which uses USDA certified organic ingredients, which never uses harmful chemicals, to protect your skin. Orgaid sheet mask performs well by including highly intense active ingredients, even 100-folds higher, compared to low-quality sheet mask. It’s been designed to keep your skin healthy. Also, it uses the fabric which is 100% natural and breathable and can comfortably stay on your skin when you do your work. Again it also helps in absorbing ingredients into the deeper layer of your skin when compared to other fabrics.
