4. Lululun One Night Rescue Hydrate

Price: 216 yen (1 pc)

Another face mask series by Lululun, One Night Rescue series (ルルルンワンナイト レスキュー) is available with 3 products: Rescue Hydrate (Pink), Rescue Vitamin (Yellow), Rescue Clarify Skin (Blue). My favourite is the pink one which is specially made for dry skin and contains about 35 ml beauty serum that is the biggest amount of all Lululun face mask series. When you open the package, you can already feel the richness of the beauty ingredients comes with the mask that has a watering texture. After applying on your face, don’t waste the leftover serums that can be used for your neck, hands, and all over the body! This One Night Rescue series is slightly more pricey that other Lululun products, so it’s more recommended to use for special occasion or when your skin needs extra care on top of your daily skin care routine.

5. Hadabisei Super Penetrating 3D Face Mask

Price: 750 yen (4 pc)

One of annoying things about applying face masks is that sometimes they don’t fit on your face or you can not apply evenly. Hadabisei Super Penetrating 3D Face Mask series (肌美精 超浸透３Ｄマスクシリーズ) is a great product to solve that problem as the masks come with three-dimensional shape that can fit on the face tight and be evenly applied. The mask contains thick and rich beauty serum that penetrates into your skin deeply and works efficiently for moisturizing and anti-aging care. There are three types available Moisturizing & Anti-aging Care (Pink), Whitening & Anti-aging Care (Blue) and Super Moisturizing (Orange).
