The Best Korean Face Masks for Glowing Skin

Today’s Topic: Face Masks. 

No need to be triggered!  We promise we aren’t talking about COVID masks.

We can leavethose masks firmly off (our minds anyway) and instead talk about the best Korean face masks to help you achieve the bright, glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of. Sound like a plan? 

From sheet masks that give you a 15 minute facial to sleeping masks that go to work while you sleep, there's a Korean face mask for glowing skin of every type. 

Let's take a look at the different types of face masks you’ll find in Kbeauty.  

Sheet Masks

One of the first K-Beauty products to blow up world wide…and simultaneously blow our husband’s minds, was theSheet Mask.These single use masks come pre coated inserums andessences to deliver deliciously hydrated skin. Sheet masks are the ultimate 10 minute hack for glowy skin. 

In fact, the results are so immediate it wasn’t long before our partners were getting #sheetfaced with us… Curled up on the couch together watching Netfix and giving off Phantom Of The Opera vibes….or Hannibal Lecter. Depends who you ask. 

The sheet mask itself works by creating an “occlusive barrier”. It sits on top of your face and physically seals in the ingredients it contains. The constant contact with your skin allows it to effectively absorb the ingredients contained in the mask - leaving you with dewy, glowing, hydrated skin.  

Clay Masks

Another big one that you’ve probably seen trending on Instagram, reels and TikTok are clay masks. These are formulated with minerals and vitamins to detoxify and purify your skin. They are designed to be popped on after you cleanse your face and then left on for 5 to 10 minutes before being washed off. Many Korean clay masks known for their ability to purify the skin and absorb excess oil and sebum from the face. 

Sleeping Masks 

Another Korean beauty invention, sleeping masks are not to be underestimated!  After all, who doesn’t love a product that works while you sleep?

Korean sleeping masks are a hybrid between a night cream and a sheet mask. Designed to be used about 30 minutes before you go to bed, sleeping masks make the most of your nightly skin cell turnover. They leave you waking up with bouncy, plump and oh-so-hydrated skin.
