There's nothing better than a long bath with a mask on! Especially during autumn. Do you know the different types of masks and how to use them?

Real Mugwort Clay Mask

Clay Masks I love clay masks! They are easy to make and quite affordable. Clay Masks can have different colours. Do colours matter? Yes! Kaolin clay usually has white or delicate pink shades. This type is recommended for delicate, sensitive skin. Green Clay or French Clay is great for acne-prone skin. Rhassoul Clay or Moroccan Lava Clay has more orange, red or brown shades. This type of clay is great for body treatments, but oily and sensitive skin types like it a lot. Bentonite clay is great for pore care. If you decide to create a clay mask on your own then remember that clay for a clay mask you shouldn't use metal bowls and spoons. Premade masks like Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Mask, Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2X or IsNtree Real Mugwort Clay Mask contain many other ingredients than clay and are super easy to use. There's one myth about clay masks - leaving them on the skin until they get dry. The problem with clay masks is that if you let them dry on your skin, they can attract water from the inside and cause dehydration of the skin. You can put pads soaked in water, sheet mask or even spray the clay with mist while using it to make sure it doesn't dry on your skin.

Oily/Sensitive

It has a lovely muted green-gray colour and a creamy consistency with mugwort leave particles inside that arenโ€™t too rough. Smells like mugwort( if you know you know) gives off that fresh herbal medicine scent. Loving the squeeze tube packaging since I donโ€™t have to scoop it up with my fingers or a spatula. A little goes a long way too, spreads very easily. It would last a good 5 months if I use it 2 times a week. Iโ€™ve used it a couple times, washed it off after 10 minutes. So far Iโ€™m LOVING IT. My skin is very prone to dehydration and Iโ€™m also very oily in my t zone. This was a great mask that didnโ€™t dry me up and controlled a bit of my sebum production with care. Very gentle but effective. Aside from the bentonite and Kaolin clay ingredients, it has a bunch of calming ingredients to soothe the skin like beta glucan, green tea water, oat extract and panthenol. Definitely a go to for me when the weathers warm and needs some extra care. Iโ€™d definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good clay mask that will soothe the skin and control sebum.

Shake & Shot Rubber Mask Hydro

Modelling Masks aka Algae Masks Do you remember Dr. Jart + Dermask Shaking Rubber Hydro Shot mask? This type of mask was super popular a few years ago. It's an algae mask. You can do them at home, even Skin79 has a few modeling masks, I got the Cica Pine Green Calming Modeling Mask from this brand and it's a good mask but it can be tricky to use. Modelling masks are usually mixed with cold or room temperature water, and you shouldn't rinse the bowl after mixing the product or remove it near the sink since algae masks might clog your skin. Even if I did 1000 modelling masks, I might still have problems with getting the right texture because outside temperature, water temperature and product formula can make a difference. In this case, Modeling Masks like the ones from Dr Jart+ are much safer since all you have to do is mix the formula and you are guaranteed that these textures will end up looking the way the brand intended them to.

Cute Packagingnya..Banyak orang pikir ini adalah Tumbler ๐Ÿ˜‚. Ternyata salah ... Masker terunik yang pernah aku beli. Aku suka sekali dengan hasil yang diberikan setelah pemakaian : kulit jadi lembab banget kenyal, dan auto glowing. Gampang banget melepas masker ini tinggal ditarik sedikit langsung lepas. Dan setelah ITU kulit wajah jadi kenyal

Time Revolution Artemisia Pack Foam Cleanser

Cream Masks Cream masks are nothing else than masks with a creamy texture like Papa Recipe Eggplant Clearing Mud Cream Mask. They are easy to use and some might be wash-off masks and some cream masks you can leave on your face and forget about them. Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Pack Foam Cleanser is a nice example of a 2-in-1 mask since it's a mask and a cleanser.

I am sharing my thoughts on @misshaus artemisia foam cleanser. ~Self-Purchased~ ๐ŸŒžPRODUCT AND SIZING: Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Pack Foam Cleanser, 150 ml ๐ŸŽPRESENTATION: This cleansing foam comes in a tube with a twist-off cap in hues of artemisia (the design may have changed since I purchased this product). ๐Ÿ’ฆSTAR INGREDIENTS: This contains Ganghwa Island harvested artemisia (this is similar to what is used in some Korean rice cakes, so yum!) that is double fermented. Artemisia has been known for its soothing benefits in Korea for centuries. ๐ŸŒบTEXTURE and SCENT: Because this is a 2-in-1 foaming cleanser and clay mask, it is thick, and it smells like artemisia (herbal-like). I did not see any added fragrance on the list of ingredients (yay!). ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆฑ MY THOUGHTS: I never used this as a clay mask, and my thoughts relate to its function as a foam cleanser. Because perhaps this was also intended as a mask, it is very thick and takes a long time to lather. Because it is so thick, it was challenging to dispense later on. I would have enjoyed it more if the texture had been smoother. However, once I could create enough bubbles to wash my face, it cleaned my face without feeling tight or dry afterward. I did not experience any skin irritation using this cleanser. ๐Ÿ‘ PAIRING: In the beginning, I used this with Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence. I have used this with various products over many months. Others may have different experiences based on skin types, products they use, environmental conditions, etc. ๐Ÿ›ทWHERE TO SHOP: @sokoglam @stylekorean_global @yesstyle

New Skin Resolution Gel Mask

Gel Masks One of the best textures for summer nights. Gel-like masks are easier to apply with a brush. Some of them have parts of plants hidden inside. Axis-y New Skin Resolution Gel Mask is a delicate gel mask with a tiny part of mugwort herb. Hyggee Relief Chamomile Mask contains chamomile just like Belif The True Tincture Mask Chamomile. Hyggee has a richer texture than Belif but both masks are calming.

This newly-released gel mask from ๐—”๐—ซ๐—œ๐—ฆ-๐—ฌ comes in a plastic tub with a screw cap and spatula. I use this mask 2 to 3 times a week in my PM routine. This mask, like any other of their products, has the 6+1+1 formula; 6 ingredients + 1 core ingredient + 1 technology โ€“ Heartleaf, Fig, Madecassoside, Mugwort, Allantoin, Yam Root + 2% Niacinamide + Meadow Shield. The bouncy gel consistency alongside Heartleaf bits is very interesting. It spread so well on the skin and quite easy to wash off. As for the scent, though it has a herbal scent, it is quite mild and I do not find it to be overwhelming at all. Instead, the scent is one of the reasons why this mask can make me relaxed and calm. This mask has an immediate cooling effect which is very unique on its own. It is non-drying and the bits are non-abrasive at all. It helps to reduce my irritation and heal my inflammation too! Once I wash off this mask, my skin appears to look brighter and clearer. Over time, I can see how this mask helps to uplift my skin complexion and diminishes my dull skin. With a price of $๐Ÿฒ.๐Ÿด๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, this mask is right in the affordable price range too! Another well-rounded product from ๐—”๐—ซ๐—œ๐—ฆ-๐—ฌ! Overall, I am in love with this gel mask. It ticks everything on my criteria for a great product and I can see myself purchasing this after I finished this one. Everyone needs to try this mask as soon as possible!
