Double Masking

When I travel for work, I like to mask as frequent as possible to combat the late nights, travel breakouts and different environmental conditions.

On a recent work trip to London and Barcelona, I bought some of my favorite face sheet masks - My Beauty Diary along with clarifying masks by Sulwhasoo.  I started with the Sulwhasoo clarifying mask to get rid of any dirt in my pores.  The mask is dark, very herbal and thick.  It's a bit hard to spread across the face and very sticky, feels almost like a thick sticky gelatin.  The smell is extremely herbal - like the herbal tea that is given when one is sick.  It tightens the face quite a bit so after 15 minute or so,  I washed my face to condition it with My Beauty Diary's Bird's Nest Mask.   The sheet mask is similar to others where there's plenty of essence (enough to last more than 30 minutes) and ultra moisturizing.  It feels quite refreshing after the clarifying mask.

Directions: after cleansing and toning, apply Sulwhasoo clarifying mask for 15 minutes.  Wash off and then apply the MBD sheet mask

Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask

I've heard a lot about Sulwhasoo from friends and fellow bloggers and have been waiting for some time to try their product.  I got the chance by purchasing some travel size products on Testerkorea.com.  It didn't take as long as I thought to get products shipped, about 2 weeks or so when I had thought it would take a month or longer.

The Sulwhasoo Clarifying mask is a gel like mask.  It has a strong ginseng smell,.  After just 10 minutes, my face started to tightened and the mask started to be clearer.  I left the mask on for 30 minutes at which point my face was beyond tight.  The mask was easy to rinse off with tepid water.  My pores did seem to appear smaller and face a bit tighter.  Def worth a try again for longer term effects.

Directions: after double cleanse, apply mask to face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.  Rinse with warm water.

Where to Buy: purchased travel size packets on Testerkorea.com
