After I’ve visited Seul at the end of 2019, I’ve developed an obsession for all the Korean skincare products. Even though I love most of them and I’ve learned a lot about the Korean skincare routine, there’s one product, in particular, I find really useful. Thus, that’s what I’m going to talk to you today in this Innisfree sheet mask review. 

I don’t want to hide the fact that I came back from the trip with my luggage filled with products, especially sheet masks. My skin is usually dry and I’ve been fighting with this for so many years without finding a real solution, especially in the cold season. However, the one brand that I liked in particular and found really good for my skin, helping me stay hydrated for longer, was Innisfree. 

After months of using their products, I think it is safe to say I can share with you a comprehensive review. One that will answer all your questions and, hopefully, convince you to try the My Real Squeeze masks.

My Innisfree sheet mask review

Benefits of the Korean sheet masks

Why would you choose a sheet mask over another type you ask? 

With around 10 steps in the Korean beauty routine, they put a special emphasis on keeping your skin hydrated for longer. The tissue mask allows your skin to absorb the essence or serum properly, having a great impact on the softness and plumpness of your skin. 

Give your skin what it’s craving, and stop your hectic day for 15 to 20 minutes for a moment of relaxation and indulgence. If you don’t find the time through the day, you can always sleep with the mask on and wake up with a brighter and more moisturized complexion. 

Product Description

My Real Squeeze Mask EX is the perfect option for any kind of skin. 

The tissue is made from 100% biodegradable Eucalyptus fibers and has an easy-peel design I find easy to use. 

They are easy to carry with you even when you travel and would always make on my list of the best beauty products to have in my travel kit. 

All the ingredients used in the production of the My Real Squeeze Mask EX masks are obtained by using the Cold Brew Squeeze Process – which extracts the nutrients without affecting them in any negative way.

My Innisfree sheet mask review

As I’ve said in the beginning, before coming to Hong Kong I had tested only a few sheet masks back home and I wasn’t impressed. 

However, I was surprised to find the huge market for such products here in Hong Kong, and even more in their motherland – Korea. 

I thought I should give them a try and purchased many kinds from many different brands, and tested them through the months. 

After 6 months of testing, I can safely say the My Real Squeeze Mask EX with Aloe and Tea Tree are my favorite ones. Even though they have different types of texture (one is essence, the other water) I’ve found that my skin reacts very well to both of their light and hydrating moisture. 

I like that the tissue adheres very well to the face and does not slip off (as I’ve experienced with other brands), the amount of essence in the package is more than enough, and what’s left I usually spread on my neck, cleavage, and hands. 

I normally use a mask every other day, or whenever I need it the most. For example, I got a part of my face skin burnt at the beach and very irritated because of the surgical face mask I’ve been wearing these past months. I applied one of the Aloe sheet masks before I went to bed, and the next day my skin was brand new. 

It is worth noticing that I don’t always follow the 15-20 minute rule and I usually keep the mask on until it gets completely dry and all the serum has been absorbed in my skin. That’s easy to do if you apply it before you go to sleep.

After a few months of use, I no longer see the lines on my forehead and my skin is glowing and kept its glow also in the cold Seoul weather in December. 

In conclusion, I think the My Real Squeeze Mask EX is a great option if you are looking for a good price-quality ratio.
