First of all, Hello! It's been a while!
After a very long break, I'm BACK!! And I plan to do more reviews for ya'll~~!
This one is gonna be my favorites korean mask sheets, as you can see looking at the tittle!
Now you may wonder « what are mask sheets? »You could have already seen them, as they are becoming more and more popular all over the world, Sephora has it’s own, and it’s pretty self explanatory: mask sheets are mask, in tissue, or hydro-gel, that have different propreties depending on the type, that you leave on your face for usually 15~20mn. It’s one of my favorite way to relax myself, and also a great way to boost your skincare! If talking about mask sheets, you can’t go without mentioning the korean mask sheets! There literally are dozen of thousands type there, as every brand has it’s own, prices going to 0.50ct to 50€ for some super fancy brands!
I was lucky to study in Korea for 6 monthes, so I got to try as many masks as my heart desired, and my heart desired a lot.

Now let me give you a bit of background info on my skintype! I have a very thin, sensitive skin, prone to breakouts on the chin and in between my eyebrows. The acne on my chin is hormonal and really persistent, and since my skin is so sensitive it leave quite a lot of red marks when the pimple’s gone. Sweet souvenir. My T-zone is midly oily, and my cheeks are a little bit dry. With that in mind, let me tell you my favorites masks, and for what cases they’re the best!
LEADERS INSOLUTION AC DRESSING skin clininc mask
This mask is by far the one that I love the most, because it’s effects last for quite some time! Usually one week, which is pretty great for a mask sheet. It claims « Mask relieve and soothes irritated and sensistive skin caused by excessive sebum and skin troubles ».
Its consistency is slightly sticky, not runny, which is something I llike for masks, because there is nothing I hate more than feeling drops rolling down my neck down to my chest- worst feeling ever.
Another I really like about Leader’s mask is that they are well shaped. By that I mean they fit really well on european faces.
This mask is really great for when you have a lot of redness, and un-poped zits. It soothes the skin and let it feel veeerrryyyy silky afterneath! Since there are a lot of product inside the pack, what I usually do is that i keep the remaining product inside and apply it once again either right after or the morning before, to kinda boost it!
If you’re interrested in it, you can easily find it on amazon, usually by 10 packs, for around 23€, which is a very good deal imo

KLAIRS RICH MOIST SOOTHING MASK
Once again, this is a mask I really love for when my sensitive skin feels stressed! The ingredient are all very gentle, and really moisturize the skin well. I love them because I noticed that when I usually use masks and have breakouts, the zits turn into whiteheads, however, this mask doesn’t make my skin react this way. Instead, the skin appears less irritated and the zits less noticeable. If you’re interrested you can go and check them out on Wishtrend.com where they most of the time have good deals for several packs!
NATURE REPUBLIC GOLD SNAIL HYDOGEL MASK – SYNAKE
This mask is quite expensive compared to the other masks, but worth being mentioned here!
Now to be honest, first time I purchased it was more for EXO than for the product itself. I picked the « SYNAKE » version because not only i liked EXO-M more but also because I stay away from collagen products (my acne reacts really badly to collagen products).
This mask is really nice to hydrate, but mailny, for me, to slightly diminish post acne marks, which, not gonna like, is my main concern. I cannot find this mask on amazon or such, but if you’re a GMarket shopper I’m pretty sure you can find it there, or go to Korea ha ha!

SKINFOOD TOMATO MASK
When my friend gave this mask to me, I wasn’t expecting much. SKINFOOD is a good brand, but I’ve never been impressed with their mask in the past. But my friend told me it was really good for acne prone skin, as tomato is a natural purifier, and whitener. So, trusting my flawless-skined friend I gave it a shot, and my my my! I was so greatly impressed! The skin appear way less red, and the acne, as well as post marks, are slighlty faded! The effects do not last for that long,maybe one or two day, but it’s really nice if for example, you have a party, or a date and want to look extra-nice! You can find it for around 3€/p on amazon! Cheap~ And I’m pretty sure you can find great « 10 pack » deals as well!
MY BEAUTY DIARY MASK
I’ve always been atracted to the pretty packaging of MBD, but never had the opportunity to try them. However, when I went to Korea, I bought a box with several types of masks from MBD, and I literally fell in love! Each and every single mask I used did so much good to my skin I was impressed! But if I had to only recomend one, for acne prone sensitive skin, it’d be the Coix Seed Mask. It’s a purifying, hydrating mask that will brighten your skin complexion. I really love it! Other masks I recommend from MBD are the Black Pearl one, and the Aloe One. For firming and nourishing, the Bird Nest one is amazing too! Like the other masks, you can find them on amazon! Amazon’s you’re best friend when it comes to asian cosmetics!
I hope you enjoyed this post! If there are any masks you’re curious about, feel free to ask me, I may have tried them! :)
Until next time~
