Asian Facial Masks

Battle of the Sheet Masks

Silk Whitia Q10 Mask

What it says it does: It's a firming, collagen enriched mask that encourages elasticity and is bursting with Vitamin E.

What it actually does:  Not much.  I mean if you soak your faces with goodness for 15-20 minutes it'll look glowy for a bit.  But, as far as lasting results– meaning after an hour or so– there is really no difference at all and definitely not worth my 15-20 minutes.  I've heard a lot of great things about Silk Whitia Masks though, so I won't give up on them and will definitely try their other formulas. 

Tony Moly Pomegranate Mask

What it says it does: Pomegranate extract help the skin absorb collagen elements more easily. It's also effective in removing keratin on skin.

What it actually does:  Amazing.  I really like this mask.  I could feel it working on my skin and after taking it off, my skin was glowy and supple for days!  My husband even said that he noticed a difference– this is major people. 

Charles Elite Facial Brilliant Mask

What it says it does: According to the package, it is a brightening and tightening mask.  I don't know much about the brand and can't find any information on the web about it.  However, my aunt in Taiwan swears by this mask and gave me a few as a gift. 

What it actually does:  It's ok.  It's packed with ginseng extract which is suppose to be amazing for skin- tones, revitalizes, balances oil production.  However, I didn't see much of that after using the mask.  I'll continue to use it since the ingredients are stellar and I have faith it'll work with continued use.  But for now, it's just ok.

Elishacoy Chestnut Husk Mask

What it says it does: It's suppose to help refine enlarged pores by regenerating skin cells and promoting better circulation.

What it actually does:  This mask works.  Like the Tony Moly Mask, I can feel it working on my face which I love.  After leaving it on for 15 minutes, my skin felt hydrated and less congested.  That's all I can ask for in a sheet mask!
