How to Practically Enjoy Face Mask Sheet in 15 minutes!

How to Practically Enjoy Face Mask Sheet in 15 minutes!

Hello girlfriends!

Time for new beauty routine hacks and today we are going to talk about face mask sheets.

Yup sisters, your very own face mask sheets (whatever brand you’re currently using).

It is undeniable one of the beauty products that are always on our beauty shelves. You see various brands and variants in all beauty stores, including online stores and it’s crazy because even I myself have this unexplainable liking about it.

And here in East Asia, many face mask sheets are mostly Korean and Japanese brands and I admit, they are GOOOODDDD!

Some women in the west don’t understand our little obsessions for face mask sheets, but I will tell you, ladies – spending a little quality time with yourself wearing a face mask sheet is totally worth it.

They still didn’t know that this little sheet of softness is our Asia’s secret to achieve that natural glowing face.

By and by, the face mask sheet phenomenon is expanding outside the continent, thanks to the help of the internet and social media, and also through word-of-mouth from our friends and families, and even from our favourite influencers online.


I’ve been using face mask sheets for two (2) years now and recently for about six (6) months, I’m using it twice daily – morning before going to work, and during night time before going to bed.

My little obsession has elevated from using it once daily to twice because I believe that giving quality time to yourself as much as you give time to others or at work is more important.

In spite of giving your time to others, they might leave you anytime with no turning back. So better to give more time to yourself, because leaving it out is the scariest thing of all.

Yikes!

NO one wants to have it that happen, right? Would you want to leave yourself?

Ekel Ultra Hydrating face mask sheets review by Blair Villanueva


One of the recent face mask sheet purchases contains Collagen and Coenzyme Q10 – both from a Korean brand, Ekel which I’ve purchased online from Seoul Secret.

This brand is sooooo good no wonder many Filipinas as getting obsessed with it. Actually, this brand comes in thirteen (13) variants (yup that’s plenty!) and it’s crazy because it gives every user that satisfying effect and glows, depending on your skin type and needs.

Note that while writing this blog post, I’m currently using my favourite Ekel Ultra Hydrating Essence Face Mask with collagen.


Ekel Ultra Hydrating face mask sheets review by Blair Villanueva


So after performing double cleansing of my face, and applied my favourite toner and serum then comes my favourite Ekel face mask, and enjoy it for 15 minutes. The sheet has a very generous essence which also gives me that relaxing feeling, in addition to that little pressed feeling that the face mask gives. Its essence is so generous it literally drips when you remove the sheet from its well-sealed package.

So how can you enjoy the face mask sheet in 15-minutes?

Here are my simple tips and suggestions which I personally do:

• To make most of the relaxing feeling which you have your face mask on, you can sit back and close your eyes and just relax, while doing your breathing exercise. This will give your face muscles time to reboot and your nerves relaxed.

• While doing this, you can also listen to relaxing sounds or music. I listen to my favourite Yiruma songs (3 to 4 songs are enough) and have clear thoughts.

• I suggest that you should take a screen-browsing break for 15-minutes while having your face mask treatment because making your eyes busy adds stress to your face and muscles around your eyes. Our main goal is to make yourself relax and enjoy a 15minutes break, to make your face reboot so just stay calm.



You can let it sit on your face for up to 20-minutes, but not beyond that because the essence absorbs back to the sheet.

Having a face mask sheet is an addition to our beauty routine, and it’s not a substitute to your current skincare. Another thing I love about this is I can easily bring it along with me at work or during my trips, and just put it on my face while waiting.

After using my favourite face masks, thus giving me that fresh glowing dewy look.


My other EKEL Ultra Hydrating Mask contains Enzymes Q10which gives my face a plump and dewy look after application.

Both these masks are ultra-hydrating and are fantastic for everyone with dry skin or to use for added moisture because of cold, and winter weather. They are also perfect to pack inside your hand carry bag for a long flight to fight dry air experienced at 30,000 feet above, giving you a nourished glow when you step out of the aeroplane.

Ekel Ultra-Hydrating Essence Face Mask sheet has thirteen (13) variants: Collagen, Coenzyme Q10, Placenta, Snail, Pearl, Vitamin, Red Ginseng, Cucumber, Pomegranate, Royal Jelly, Green Tea, Snake, and Honey

And why do I use two sheets a day? Isn’t one good enough?

If one is enough, then two is AWESOME!

You can never go wrong or look fat or feel ugly with two sheets a day, so why not?

Women can wear three different shades of lipsticks a day, so why not satisfy yourself with a little pleasure with face masks?

Besides, throwing a dollar of face mask isn’t that bad at all. I got these EKEL Ultra Hydrating Essence to mask for literally a dollar for two (2) face mask sheets (Php20.00 each, and Php15 when you buy it for wholesale) so it isn’t bad. Your favourite junk food snacks are more expensive than these face masks.


And many celebrities can attest to the goodness of having it two! Chinese Actress Fan Bing Bing is ahuge fanatic of face mask sheets and many other Asian celebs.

Even our dearest Hollywood celeb Drew Barrymore and her beauty team are becoming a fan too!

Having two sheets of mask regularly wouldn’t compromise your current beauty, on a contrary, it will be beneficial to you because will give you super extra hydration.

And if you are kind of BORED with your regular, plain white (or clear) face mask sheet, I think you will be enjoying theXILIX animated face mask sheet just like I do!


XILIX Animal Aqua face mask sheets review by Blair Villanueva


XILIX Animal Aqua face mask sheets have 4 animated variants: fox, panda, sea lion and, tiger – however, I only managed to purchase 3 available.

These face masks are so cool, you can tell because of their cute design that definitely rocks!


XILIX Animal Aqua face mask sheets review by Blair Villanueva


They also give the same hydrating and glow effect, the only differences are the price and of course the design. I’ve got these XILIX Animal Aqua face mask sheets at Watsons for Php85.00 each. 

Surprisingly, these face mask sheet gives me not only the desires glowing dewy look but boosts my mood. Maybe because of its super fun design! Xilix face mask seems under-rated, and haven’t been given a review online, but trust me these are fantastic.

Even these fellow face-mask sheets lovers are obsessed with XILIX!

Isn’t these so cool?! I actually thought this XILIX mask can be used as your emergency Halloween face mask, LOL.

And wearing face mask sheets in public is actually quite common, as the commuters at the subway in Tokyo. Looks like they are rocking Halloween!

For more face mask sheet reviews, you can refer to my previous favourites here, here, here and here.


Now I honestly admit my obsession with face mask sheets.

Okay, I’ll end my review here coz I need to phone my suppliers for these face masks. I’m getting out of stocks! LOL.




Have you tried any face mask sheets? How’s the effect on you?





xoxo, Blair
