Shopping Guide
I cared a lot about my pores when I was young, and, being influenced by my makeup-artist mother, I became a “mask-professional”! While studying in Japan, I tried almost every mask that was released. Even though there were a lot of mask recommendations, I couldn't find many reviews. So are are my own recommendations!
5. LuLuLun Face Mask

This first mask was recommended to me by my roommate when I first came to Japan. For me, it was love at first sight after seeing the big, cute package.
As box packages are better at preserving the masks, these are very easy to use compared with bag packages. What I especially like about this mask is that its ingredients are all plant extracts, so it's totally organic. After using it, my skin feels especially moisturized, and it’s also good for sensitive skin too! Out of the three types available, I prefer the pink one (Balance Moisture Type). Blue is Rich Moisture, while white is Fresh Clear.
If you put one on both in the morning and at night your skin will look perfect. There are 42 masks in a box, but they won’t get dry at all—and for only ¥1,620 per box, how can I say no?
4. LuLuLun Cream Mask

This new product from LuLuLun works even better if used with the Moisturizing Mask. Named the Nama Mask in Japanese, in looks, it isn’t dissimilar to the white cream used in Japan’s popular chou-crème cakes, providing an even better moisturizer than the regular type. The power of the cream enables it to be used as both a night mask and a day cream, and sometimes I even like to mix it with masks. LuLuLun masks are always natural, and they're definitely good for sensitive skin, too!
