How to choose a face mask
A face mask is an extra to your usual routine, not a required step. It helps when your skin needs something more: extra hydration, calm, cleaner-feeling pores or nourishment overnight. Choose by situation and mask type. How often to use it is set out in the specific product’s instructions.
Skin feels thirsty and uncomfortable
Hydrating sheet masks such as Torriden Dive-In Hyaluronic Acid Mask with hyaluronic acid or COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Power Sheet Mask with snail mucin and panthenol are fragrance-free. If your skin feels dry rather than thirsty, a richer choice is the rinse-off I’m from Honey Mask with honey.
Skin feels unsettled and turns red easily
Soothing sheet masks rely on centella. Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask contains centella; Mary & May CICA Houttuynia Tea Tree Calming Mask comes in a box of 30 and combines centella, heartleaf and tea tree.
Your T-zone gets shiny and pores are visible
Clay wash-off masks such as AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack or Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask with kaolin suit oilier and combination skin. You can apply them to the T-zone only. Follow the instructions for how long to leave them on.
You want extra nourishment in the evening
An overnight mask is usually the last step in the evening. Whether you use it instead of your cream or over it depends on the specific product’s instructions. PURITO Luminous Ceramide Sleeping Pack contains ceramides and centella; ABIB Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask has a light jelly texture. To try one first, there is the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack Mini.
Sheet, wash-off or overnight mask?
A sheet mask is soaked in essence and suits quick hydration or calming. A wash-off (rinse-off) mask is rinsed after a while; clay versions help skin feel cleaner. An overnight mask stays on until morning as the last layer.
How to use a face mask
Apply your mask to clean skin, usually after toner. After a sheet mask, press the remaining essence into your skin and follow with cream. Rinse a wash-off mask with lukewarm water, then apply toner and cream. Use an overnight mask in the evening as the last step. Test any new product on a small area first.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I use a face mask?
It depends on the mask type and the specific product’s instructions. Also watch how your skin responds. If it feels tight or turns red after a mask, use it less often.
Should I rinse off the essence after a sheet mask?
Usually not. Press the remaining essence gently into your skin and follow with cream, unless the instructions say otherwise.
Can a mask replace my cream?
Some overnight masks are used instead of a night cream, others over it. Follow the specific product’s instructions. After a sheet or wash-off mask, apply cream.
Is a clay mask suitable for dry skin?
Dry skin usually prefers hydrating or overnight masks. If your T-zone gets oily, you can apply a clay mask there only.
