It’s a fact that facial masks are great pick-me-ups when your skin is not at its best. Each minute of mask-time should be thoroughly enjoyed, as the ingredients seep into your skin and revitalise it from inside out. That’s why Korean brands, beauty experts and celebrities are raving about great skin results you can achieve if you use a facial mask every single day.
But to many, and we’re pretty sure it’s the most of us — we don’t have the luxury of time to lay down and stay still for 20 minutes or more, let alone to do it every single day. These lunchtime facials can be considered if you have a bit of time in between breaks, but when time is not on your side, not all hope is lost. We’ve discovered these quick facial masks that promise clear, softer skin and everything else all under 10 minutes.
Keep in mind that these facial masks are not meant to be used every day. Each of them is proven to be powerful and effective enough so you can achieve great skin in a much shorter time. Think less time used with better results.
