Korean face masks: sheet mask, night mask, and wash-off face masks
How to use a face mask
A face mask is added to the skincare routine, depending on whether it is a wash-off face mask, a sheet mask, or an overnight mask.
Wash-off face mask is applied immediately after cleansing, left on for the time specified on the product (usually 5-20 minutes), and then washed off.
Sheet mask is placed on the face after cleansing, left to work, after which the fabric is removed and the treatment liquid remaining on the skin is patted onto the face and neck. Finish with a serum if you like, but at least a face cream.
Overnight mask is added as the last step in the evening routine, either after the face cream or instead of it. As the name suggests, the overnight mask stays on overnight and does not need to be washed off, but the face is washed normally in the morning with water (and if needed, a water-based cleanser).
What comes after a face mask?
After using a face mask, you should always apply at least one face cream (excluding the night mask).
After a rinse-off face mask, you can also apply toner, essence, serum, and/or ampoule from your skincare routine before the face cream.
After a sheet mask, apply at least one face cream, but depending on the type of face mask (if the mask is enriched with essence or serum), you can also add a serum and/or an ampoule.
Should the face mask be washed off?
Korean sheet masks are not washed off, but the essence that remains on the skin after the treatment time is gently patted into the skin.
Wash-off face masks, such as clay masks, should be washed off after the treatment time, just as the name suggests.
The night mask does not need to be washed off, but the face is normally rinsed in the morning with water (and if needed, a water-based cleanser).
