J-Beauty Sheet Masks

 





   Japanese sheets masks are an often used item in a J-Beauty routine. They are high-quality in each way possibly. From the soft cotton of the sheet to the high-quality effective ingredients within the essence liquid of the product. A saturated market, sure... And it can feel overwhelming with so many & even within in the K-Beauty realm. I think there's a reason why they have become so popular though. Even though in this post, I'll just be discussing specifically J-Beauty. However, sheet masks in general have been a global dominating skincare product to use. They can feel cooling, relaxing and fun to use for some of a younger demographic with social media posting.

   J-Beauty masks to me are the cutting-edge of technology in their formulation and usage of some sheet masks. It can feel like there's a sea of them with so many brands releasing them as a whole. Best way to choose is by finding and targeting what your main skin concerns are, whether it be hyperpigmentation/brightening, hydration, acne, anti-aging, etc. I, personally feel in the beginning though was a bit of getting used to, after a while I adapted to it though. It's a nice way to treat yourself even just once a week to a nice at-home Spa mask treatment. I noticed with the Japanese ones, a lot of essence lotion is on the sheet mask & you do receive an ample generous amount of product. Antioxidants and botanicals such as rice bran, algae, green tea, sake, collagen, ceramides and Vitamin C to name a few can be some of the ingredients on a sheet mask. As well some beneficial synthetic ingredients as well to work together synergistically. Hyaluronic acid is also an ingredient also hugely used in products, as well in different weights & concentrations in a formulation. They can include an overall powerhouse of ingredients to address certain main skin concerns. Consumers can use them once a week, 2x a week, others do them up to daily. All depending on your time, needs, etc.

   The other aspects of a sheet mask is surging the skin with hydration. Properly hydrated skin is healthy skin, to keeping your skin's barrier in tact and to avoid irritation. Especially for anti-aging concerns and for younger-looking skin. There's a product for everyone to use, with skincare, it can be trial & error to find the right routine for you overall. Everyone's skin is as unique as a thumbprint. Which is why everyone's skin differs in the same fashion with how it responds to certain ingredients & products. Find the best one and overall routine for your own needs. Thank you for taking the time to read today.

Exosomes & Growth Factors: Regenerative Ingredients

      Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that have regenerative properties when it comes to skin including many "anti-aging" benefits. They may help with loss of firmness, lines/wrinkles, skin texture, reducing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, helps skin heal faster post-procedure, wound healing, and acne even as part of the multitude of benefits. They are considered the delivery system for the other active ingredients to assist with as part of their formulation. They are cell-communicating ingredients which in tells the other cells to "behave" and repair the skin & damaged cells more accordingly, to promote more collagen & elastin production.     In essence, their genetic makeup is a mixture of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They are able to transport growth factors, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants to penetrate better into the skin. Whether being coupled with in an-office treatment such as in injectables, lasers, or micro...

Facial Oils: Are They Worth It?

     Facial Oils seem to be a trendy step in a skincare routine as of lately. They are beneficial for someone who's of a more drier skin type. Some facial oils are filled with antioxidants, fatty acids and other nutrients. However, if you're acne-prone, I wouldn't recommend facial oils even if they're suggested as "non-comedogenic" since there is still no telling if you'll still develop clogged pores from which ever formula that may be. They're meant to coat, protect & lubricate the epidermis (outer most top layer of skin), it's meant to stay & hydrate on the skin's surface with also penetrating the top surface. Leaving it silky, smooth, & soft. There are also some problematic botanical oils that can cause a reaction, something to be cautious about. As well as stay away from essential oils! They are a main culprit to adding a sensitized barrier and a pretty significant amount to a possibility of a reaction (as in a rash, redness, et...

Not Being Able To Justify Highly-Priced Skincare

  Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending over upwards to $200-$300+ on a skincare product, whether it being on a moisturizer, serum, essence, etc. granted, there are both good & bad formulated products on both ends of the spectrum. I just don't find it entirely necessary to do so. There are very well-formulated products that can meet a person's concerns/needs at your own budget & what you are willing to spend. Really an unnecessary amount to spend when certain brands with more affordable price points have incredible research & development teams when creating some of your favorite products. I thoroughly love & enjoy learning about the skincare science though. 🧑‍🔬✨️✍️ Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru
