3 Days to Achieving Glowing Skin with Korean Face Masks

By applying a lotion mask, your skin can achieve a radiant, smooth, and anti-aging appearance. This method, originating from Japan, has gained popularity. However, in Korea, there is a unique and contrary method of applying face masks that many Korean women prefer. Let’s explore this method further.

1 The benefits of the “contrary” face mask method from Korea

According to blogger Blaga, the Korean method involves an additional step of layering lotion on top of the face mask. This provides the skin with more nutrients and better hydration compared to the conventional method of applying face masks.

When you apply moisturizer on top of the face mask, it enhances the delivery of nutrients into the skin. Additionally, it helps lock in moisture and prevents the water underneath the mask from evaporating and not being absorbed into the skin.

According to blogger Blaga, the “contrary” face mask method is performed as follows:

Step 1 Pour lotion onto a cotton pad and spread it thinly. It is recommended to choose natural and gentle lotions such as rose, chamomile, etc.

Step 2 Apply makeup remover cotton pads onto the face, apply a layer of sleeping mask on top of the face mask, and leave it on for about 10 minutes instead of the usual 3 minutes for conventional face mask application.

Step 3 Remove the face mask, use the face mask that was just applied to wipe the entire face clean, gently pat to enhance absorption and avoid excess nutrients.

Step 4 Apply moisturizer and massage evenly all over the face to lock in moisture.

The steps of applying a face mask

This method provides deep hydration and is particularly suitable for people with dry skin or during the autumn/winter season when the skin is prone to dehydration. However, if you have combination or oily skin, it is advisable to consider other methods.

Due to its “heavy-duty” nature compared to the traditional method, it is recommended to use this method only once a week in the evening to avoid clogging the skin and excessive nutrient application.
