While great masks can be found all over the world, South Korea is by far the capital of face masks. By pioneering the use of new ingredients and inventive packaging, K-beauty brands have been elevating the entire skincare game for years. And although K-Beauty is known for incredible sheet masks, don’t sleep on the innovative bubble, clay, and overnight options. Read on for 7 face masks that will have you taking a skincare sojourn to Seoul (say that 10 times fast).

Mix up one of these fun single-use masks any time you’re in the mood for an instant, at-home facial. Modeled after the rubber masks at Korean spas, the texture starts off a little more like marshmallow fluff than rubber, then dries for that satisfying peel-off factor

The gorgeous teal color is an instant draw, but it’s this mask’s acne-fighting and pore-unclogging powers that will win you over. With 10% AHA and 0.5% BHA, it’s powerful against breakouts and excess oil, but hydrating ingredients ensure it won’t dry out or irritate skin.

Belif’s Aqua Bomb moisturizer is a best-seller and fan favorite, so it makes sense that a sleeping mask version—richer and even more intensely hydrating—would make this list.

 

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clusters Pore Clearing Clay Peel Off Mask

Available at Innisfree

Innisfree ingeniously combined the powers of clay masks and peel-off masks into one mega pore-unclogging formula. Made with actual volcanic lava, it sops up excess sebum, minimizes the appearance of pores, and reveals a glowing, even-looking complexion after each use.
