It’s no secret that Koreans have great complexions, and they deserve it! After all, not everyone can be dedicated enough to use a 10-step beauty routine, including applying a mask nightly. But even if you’re not keen on adopting such a laborious and complicated skincare ritual, one that you should adopt is the Koreans love for masks. And while we’re not recommending you use them daily, two to three times a week is a good frequency to follow. Here, we list out the best Korean facial masks to get now.
This refreshing mask has Korean natural ingredients and bamboo extract to soothe and quench parched skin for a plump, soft complexion.
