Korean female celebrities are admired for their excellent skincare and makeup techniques, and good products are crucial in achieving that. When choosing a face mask, many friends prefer to use Korean brands. So, which Korean sleeping mask brand is the best? Below, Annie personally tests 6 Korean sleeping masks to provide you with choices.
Mamonde Rose Honey Sleeping Mask
Effects: Moisturizes, brightens, nourishes, and hydrates the skin
Volume: 80ml
Fragrance: Sweet floral scent
Texture: Gel-like
Testing experience: As soon as you open the lid, you can smell the sweet fragrance. There are some tea-colored and flower petal fragments, which are Damascus rose flowers. The main effect is to promote skin moisture absorption and cell regeneration. When applied, it feels watery. I usually use a brush to apply sleeping masks, which spreads evenly and saves product without making a mess on my hands. Before going to bed, when I look in the mirror, there is a bit of shine on my face because I have oily skin, and this is usually the case with most masks. You can use a cotton pad with a little bit of toner to remove the surface oil, then apply a moisturizer and go to sleep.
Too Cool For School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack
Effects: Whitens, smooths, locks in moisture, and brightens the skin
Volume: 100ml
Fragrance: No prominent fragrance, similar to regular lotion
Texture: Slightly thicker than a lotion
Testing experience: This mask has a lotion-like texture and color. Usually, you can apply a thin layer, and depending on how well it absorbs, you can apply another layer or two to avoid excessive oiliness and nutrition for the skin. It contains pumpkin nutrients, and its moisturizing and skin-brightening functions are quite significant. When I look in the mirror before bed, I find that there is no shine on my face, thinking that it has been fully absorbed. To test it, I found that the mask forms a film-like layer on the surface of the skin because of its unique non-sticky formula, which forms a moisturizing film. In this case, there is no need to wash it off, even for oily skin, you can leave it overnight.
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask
Effects: Moisturizes, brightens, and improves skin tone
Volume: 120ml
Fragrance: Strong medicinal scent
Texture: Slightly thick lotion
The effect of its whitening and brightening is indeed remarkable. It is said to contain extracts of Dong Quai root, as well as walnut and mulberry root, which sounds like taking Chinese medicine. I came up with a method of use, which is to apply it directly after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. Use your fingers to spread it thinly, like applying lotion. While applying, you can do a simple massage to promote absorption. If you feel that your skin has immediately absorbed it, you can apply another layer. When checking in the mirror before bed, if there is shine on the face, wipe it off with the back of your hand, then apply a thin layer. If there is no shine, apply another layer. Then you can go to sleep. One secret is to not use face cleanser the next morning, and your complexion will naturally be improved. This one is super suitable for girls with dull and yellowish skin, so don't love me too much after using it.
Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream Mask
Effects: Whitens, locks in moisture, and hydrates the skin
Volume: 100ml
Fragrance: No special fragrance
Texture: Super dense foam
Testing experience: After using it, my face feels very smooth. It's called the egg mask because it contains egg extracts, which are said to make the skin as smooth as a peeled egg. However, later I tried another mask of the same brand, but it was paper-based, and I decided to buy some because the foam version is a bit difficult to apply evenly. However, the feeling of the foam slowly dissolving and being absorbed by the skin is indeed similar to being absorbed by the skin.
Laneige Water Sleeping Mask
Effects: Moisturizes and locks in moisture
Volume: 70ml
Fragrance: Relatively fresh scent
Texture: Similar to jelly
Testing experience: It has a unique sleeping moisturizing technique and repair moisturizing film technology, so its ability to moisturize and lock in moisture is evident. Moreover, this sleeping mask is suitable for lazy people. When you don't want to use water essence and lotion during spring, autumn, and winter, you can just use this mask. Before going to bed, gently wipe off the excess oil on your face with the back of your hand and then go to sleep.
Mamonde Flower Essence Whitening Roll-On Mask
Effects: Improves dullness, fades dark spots, and enhances skin elasticity
Volume: 60ml
Fragrance: Light floral scent
Texture: Transparent gel-like texture
Testing experience: I personally have a lot of love for masks with built-in application methods. Other bottled masks usually require a brush, but this one eliminates that trouble. The roll-on is cool and convenient to use, just twist it open. While applying, it helps massage the skin and promotes the absorption of various nutrients. What I like the most is that the texture of this whitening and firming mask can be so light and thin, which is really surprising for oily skin. So it feels very comfortable to use.
