From firming to hydrating, these masks help reveal, not hide, the new you, writes Syida Lizta Amirul Ihsan
THE world of facial masks is a maze of products, textures and ingredients. One thing’s for sure, this add-on beauty routine is fast becoming everyone’s staple for a quick pick-me-up and instant baby-soft skin. Here are some of the latest on Sephora’s beauty shelves.
KOCOSTAR
This Korean newcomer to Sephora packs fun into its sheet mask. You’ll smell like lemon, cucumber, watermelon or tomato after using it.
ARCONA
Magic Black Ice Volcanic Exfoliating Mask uses Icelandic volcanic sand to get your skin primed and prepped. Use it twice a week, between 8-20 minutes.
JUNE JACOBS
Also available in a travel-friendly tube of 30ml, this Mandarin Moisture Mask makes sure your skin doesn’t go dry after a long-haul flight. Otherwise, the full-size jar should take permanent residence on your bathroom shelf.
THIS WORKS
The Stress Check Face Mask helps reduce redness caused by heat and pollution. Leave it on for 10 minutes. For a more intensive treatment, sleep on it.
GLAMGLOW
This super-popular mask brand has a mask with skincare properties to firm, lift and tone skin — so you can put your best face forward.
FOR BELOVED GIRL
The Skin Renewed Mineral-Cloud Silk mask is formulated for visible pores and acne-prone skin. It will help clear blackheads and whiteheads.
KOCOSTAR
The notion that only your face deserves some masking TLC is outdated. Kocostar has a new way to pamper hardworking feet. This Foot Moisture pack helps restore moisture that is lost during the day. Just wear it like you would socks for 20 minutes.
DR JART+
Don’t mind its scary packaging that looks like your face will become cryogenically frozen. This rubber mask uses ampoules. You squeeze its contents on your face before covering it with this rubber mask. A little too literal, if you ask me.
