I am new to korean skincare. My coworker actually put me on to it.
Mask was great, but I had two issues.. So, I put the mask on, a small part got on to my upper lip. I was lazy and thought “No biggie!” so I lazily decided not to completely remove it. I’ve put on many masks (sheets and wash off) so I didn’t think much of it.
Then, when 10-15 mins passed, I was washing off the mask which is kind of difficult to do over a sink. So, I rubbed it too hard while washing it off, and it really irritated my skin. But then I notice that the rate of my upper lip that the mask touched, is numb and swollen. Honestly, it looked like a little blister. Thankfully, it got smaller by the next day.
I do think it minimized my pores a little and will continue using it. So far, I like it! It’s doing what it’s supposed to. Skin was real soft after too. Usually, my skin is dried out from other brands pore mask.
Bottom line — LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS (korea does not play omg) If it gets on your lips, immediately wash it off if you can. Also, do not rub in circles while washing off or maybe do it more gently.
