These are my current favorite single sheet masks <3
When I want to hydrate my skin, calm my redness, or when I just I feel like pampering myself these are my go to sheet masks! They are packed with a wonderful hydrating and soothing essence. My skin just loves centella, but these also have other great ingredients like mugwort, ginseng, green tea, and chamomile.
I also really appreciate how these masks have a backing that makes them easier to unfold and apply. It may seem like a small detail but even I, someone who loves and frequently uses sheet masks, still struggle to unfold other sheet masks so I really love the extra layer to help me with ease of application.
If you’ve been on the hunt for a soothing sheet mask I highly recommend you try these ones from Beauty of Joseon. I love them!
