There are a multitude of Korean fabric masks . You know, the famous sheet masks . In this new article, we will try to be as complete as possible by giving you real advice on how to choose the right Korean fabric mask for your facial treatment.

Face mask: fabric or hydrogel?

Most K-beauty masks, even the most affordable ones, are made of fabric. And, of course, the fabric construction determines the fit, comfort, and permeability of the mask serum on the skin.

Hot Deal : Our website coreebeauty.com offers high-quality Korean fabric masks made by top brands like Abib and Beauty of Joseon. Of course, there are more to discover or rediscover in our online store.

Hydrogel masks , also available in our store, are made of a gel-like material and are thicker. They may therefore be less comfortable, but they adhere better to the face and the liquid penetrates better into the epidermis. They are generally a little more expensive.

In Korean cosmetics and the world of k-beauty, you will find two types of facial care mask, with very often similar virtues: deep hydration of the skin, treatment against acne, intense freshness... It's up to you to choose, but changing products regularly is also a way to have even more well-being.

But now, let's take a closer look at the fabric mask, perhaps a little less well-known in Switzerland, but so very Korean!

How to evaluate and choose a fabric face mask?

Always choose a Korean sheet mask that's suitable for all skin types or the blemish you're treating. I ask myself the following questions: How is my skin today, what does it need?

There are several factors to consider when using Korean sheet masks. Let's take a look at what they are and what they're used for!

INCI and composition of Korean beauty products

The fabric face mask should contain a good amount of natural ingredients and
active ingredients such as green tea, shea butter, snail slime, vitamins, aloe and collagen.

Also, it would be better if it did not contain alcohol, but you will notice that those that have a purifying and astringent effect usually do.

Amount of serum

The fabric face mask should be thoroughly soaked in serum. Okay, so you don't want the serum to drip everywhere. And if you open the bag and notice there's still some left in the package, you can apply it to your neck and décolleté. It's always nice, right? (Elbows, knees, and feet are not out of the question...)

K-beauty face mask: hold and comfort

Korean fabric mask is a powerful facial treatment with very positive effects
For the skin. How to choose it and K-beauty cosmetic tips, we take stock.

At coreebeauty.com , we prefer those that adhere well to the face, so even if you have to leave the house, you won't be worried about losing it on the street or spreading it everywhere... although it's much more relaxing to apply a Korean sheet mask and wait lying on the couch with a good book or watching TV... Ok, it's a facial treatment, but it's also a moment of relaxation, right?

In fact, the fit of Korean masks helps the product penetrate better, so more
The better the fit and grip, the better the end result!

The perfume

Too many women don't pay much attention to it at first, but as we just mentioned, this facial treatment is also a moment of relaxation. If the smell of the fabric face mask is too strong or, worse, unpleasant, where's the fun?

Some masks are odorless, while others have a slightly medicinal scent due to the active ingredients and lack of perfume. Note that a neutral-scented sheet mask is often better for more sensitive and allergy-prone skin.

And then there are those with delicious, floral, natural, very delicate scents, and there, pampering is guaranteed!

Efficiency

If your skin feels improved and hydrated, if the mask has truly relieved your blemish, then it has worked.

Remember, it doesn't work miracles, but as part of a complete skincare routine, it helps a lot... as do all K-beauty cosmetics!

When to use Korean fabric mask?

The sheet mask moisturizes the skin and can be used at any time, even just once a week. After the treatment, it doesn't even need to be rinsed off, provided the skin is thoroughly cleansed and free of makeup.

For example, a good time to apply it might be before going out in the evening, to invigorate the skin and make it more relaxed, or in the morning to depuff and refresh the skin on the face.

But for many, the best time to use this facial treatment is as part of the Korean beauty routine , or step 7 of skin care , because the active ingredients in the sheet mask work in synergy with those applied before and after.

It's not necessary to apply a k-beauty sheet mask every day, but depending on your needs... Afterwards, we generally recommend the evening because that's also when we have more time!

How to use Korean sheet face mask

• The skin of the face must be perfectly clean.
• The mask should be opened gently and spread out so that it adheres well to the oval of the face, making as few folds as possible.
• The mask should be left in place for 15 to 20 minutes, but some people leave it in place for up to an hour, two hours depending on the model.
• You may feel a slight tingling sensation, perhaps the skin is a little irritated and the active ingredient is working in these areas.
• Depending on the season, the Korean fabric mask can be used cold in summer by storing it in the refrigerator, or hot in winter by soaking it for a few minutes (without opening it in its packaging!) in a basin of hot water at 40°C.
• The serum remaining on the face should be gently massaged onto the neck and décolleté until absorbed . I usually spread the serum remaining in the package on the rough parts of my body: elbows, arms, knees and heels.

Korean fabric masks: hydrogel, scented and odorless

We're now going to introduce you to three types of Korean sheet masks available on coreebeauty.com: the K-beauty hydrogel mask, the scented sheet mask, and the neutral-scented mask. But there are others, so feel free to browse our shop!

ABIB collagen gel mask sedum jelly

ABIB Collagen Gel Mask Sedum Jelly is a hydrogel mask containing an essence
moisturizer based on hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen .

The essence formula features Abib Sedum Hyaluron as a patented key ingredient. Known as Golden Moss (Borracina Sarmentosa), this plant with extraordinary humectant properties, which grows on the Korean island of Jeju, is able to thrive in the driest and most hostile environments, including rocks; this characteristic is a testament to the strength and resilience of this advanced formula.

The essence of ABIB Collagen Gel Mask Sedum Jelly has a gelatinous consistency and contains plant collagen (10,000 ppm) or Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, a small biomimetic peptide that can easily penetrate the different layers of the skin and then reproduce the action of the protein that stimulates the synthesis of new collagen. Its action, supported by the occlusive effect of the hydrogel, improves skin texture with firming effects, restores elasticity and leaves the skin deeply hydrated.

The addition of weight-differentiated hyaluronic acid , urea, panthenol and red algae
saturates the epidermis with moisture, maximizing hydration, while active ingredients with depigmenting properties, such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) , niacinamide and licorice root extract , give the skin an extraordinary glow.

Tests have confirmed the improvement in skin tone and elasticity thanks to
constant use of the ABIB Sedum Jelly Collagen Gel Mask . A high-quality Kbeauty face mask!
