SO I did a haul for mask sheets! I jumped into the mask sheets craze all because of my favorite Korean Beauty Youtuber Hanbyul recommended to try a 'One a Day Face Mask' routine to achieve a natural healthy glow complexion. Yas ladies, without a dewy-finish foundation and a bunch of highlighters you can have that radiating skin that people will mistake you for Jennifer Lopez, or not, pregnant. Or at least that's what she said.
But instead of doing this everyday, I'm going to do it every 3 times in a week.
Don't worry for those of you who have oily skin and think that putting sheet masks on your face is disgusting. To be honest that's what I thought about sheet masks in the first place. But I learned that as long as you don't choose a mask that contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is a moisturizing property commonly found in products for dry-skinned people, you are okay to use it. Or maybe just simply avoid masks that specifically has moisturizing function and choose for the other ones if you feel that your skin is hydrated enough. In fact, sheet mask is recommended for everyone as it has a bunch of properties that are really good for your skin.
I say that because I live in a really humid country. If you live in a 4-seasoned country and feel that your skin is dehydrated in winter even though you have an oily skin, then the Hyaluronic Acid masks or moisturizing masks in general is good for you!
Oh, and if you are currently suffering from a severe acne, I suggest you to skip this routine and focus more on healing your acne first. Because from my experience, when you are having a really bad break out, your skin is clogged up and might have a lot of dead skin cells so it won't be able to absorb the good essence from the mask properly, which results on the essence to end up only 'sitting' on your skin and you will feel your skin is 'oilier' and sticky. You might want to exfoliate your skin to solve this problem, but personally, I don't like to exfoliate my skin when I have a bad break out because it can irritate my skin even more.
After your skin is calmed down and your acne is healed, then you can join this jolly ride of sheet-masking journey! If you only have just one or two pimples, you can try to use sheet masks that have Tea Tree essence in it as it has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Without further ado, these are the masks that I managed to get from here.
I got a bunch from Tony Moly, Etude House, Celebon, and My Beauty Diary. Maybe later I will add some more from The Face Shop.
The thing is, I am so annoyed by the fact that the masks here are overpriced and lack of variances. Most of the masks (except Celebon) priced between Rp. 30,000 - Rp. 40,000 (~$2-$3) a sheet. The most expensive one is from Tony Moly Home Skin Effector AC Laser Mask, which is around Rp. 90,000 (~$7). Celebon is more on the less pricy side, which is only around Rp. 20,000 (~$1). If someday I can go to Korea, I'm gonna buy ALL kinds of sheet masks that I see because the price is much much cheaper there. Hmp.
So there ya go. Later I'm gonna post about each of the masks and tell you which one is a bummer and which one is not. See Ya!
XOXO,
