I totally adore using these essence soaked facial cloth masks because of its convenience to apply. Each of the facial sheets are sealed individually so you can just pack it anywhere for a one time use, and unlike conventional cream/mud masks you don’t need to rinse it off after applying. I have actually packed them for a night long flight and they were great for hydrating and refreshing my skin, imagine getting off the plane being able to look so fresh lol. These type of masks are very popular especially in Taiwan and Korea, when I was in Seoul, the hotel I stayed at provided complimentary facial masks for female guests!

I have been trying the Dress Me Beauty Masks daily for the past few days, it almost seemed like I was counting down to the New Year with these masks!
