The mask is made out of apple which is rich in vitamin C that provides nutrition and brightens dull skin, pearl extract which provides hydration and helps to maintain clear skin and cherry blossom which is naturally packed with antioxidants that give vitality to skin while moisturizing and soothing to maintain firmness.
Application Method:
Apply a generous amount of the mask all over your face. For even application, I like using a brush more than fingers. Make sure to avoid the eye area, eyebrows, hairline, and lip area. This mask dries up once you keep it on for 25-40 minutes depending on the thickness of the application. Slowly peel off the mask from the edges and then going inwards. Rinse the remaining residue with lukewarm water.
The packet indicates that you can use it 1-2 times a week. The small 20g packets are perfect for use at least for two sessions depending on the thickness of the layer applied. I like a little thick and so I use two-thirds of the packet in one go. The thicker the mask, the easier it is to peel off. I also love how easy it is to squeeze of the mask out into a brush and then apply it on your skin.
A lot of us are always concerned about the pain while peeling off the mask. I would say it depends on your facial hair. I felt it was more painful for me to peel off in the outer area but gets better as I moved inside.
