I am a beauty junkie and I love trying out new products but there are products and brands I always go back to. Sulwhasoo has to be one of them. This is probably one of my favourite skin care brand. I have tried a lot of their products and I will definitely recommend a lot of their products. Their herbal soap, First Care Serum and their overnight sleeping mask are the three products I love the most.
I do have to thank the Koreans for making sleeping masks so popular. With all the different brands and types out there, you really have to test around to find the ones you love the most. The ones I like are cream based with herbal/medicinal scent. I personally love the scent and find them soothing. I stopped using gel based sleeping masks as I find them a little bit too sticky for me. With all the sleeping mask I've tried, I find Sulwhasoo making one of the best sleeping masks in the market.
( size shown here is their deluxe sample. Regular size is 120ml. It basically looks the same but bigger)

full size and sample size all come in the same tube design.
This is a cream based masks that spreads out easily. It's fast absorbing and doesn't leave your skin with a sticky feeling.
Well basically this is a mask that doesn't require washing. I call it the lazy mask. All you need to do is slather some on your face and go to bed. It's great when you are lazy and when you don't have time to do a proper facial mask. Or you just use this as the last step of your daily skin care regime.
I have been using this for the last two years and after I started using it, I don't have dry flaky skin during the winter anymore. It makes my skin super hydrated and soft.
This is a product I try to use daily during the winter time. I slather it on my skin after my face cream. Even I already used as mask, I still put it on my skin unless I am on a skincare diet that night. I don't really use this much during the warmer months as my skin tends to get a little oil during the summer. I might use this once or twice a week during the warmer months.
For a Sulwhasoo product, I would say this is great value. If I remember the price correctly it is 120 ml for $60. Are there cheaper alternatives that give similar results? Yes, a lot of Korean brands make sleeping masks and Myeonghan Miindo by The Face Shop does make amazing sleeping masks at half the price. I prefer Sulwhasoo because I'm basically using their entire skin care regime and I prefer using the same brands.
Have you tried any Sulwhasoo products? What's your favourite sleeping mask?
