Beauty Product Review — Lululun Mask

I think most of you have heard of Lululun since it is one of the most popular face masks in Japan.

For those who have not heard of it, here is a good introduction of the face mask and the science behind it.

In summary:

1. Lululun believes that face masks should be applied on a daily basis as the basis of a mask is to help your skin absorb serum better
2. While you may feel that lululun face mask is on the thin side, using thick masks daily actually puts your skin under stress so lululun researchers have found that 0.42mm is the perfect thickness
3. The shape face mask was carefully designed to fit all types of face shape
4. The face mask is made of microfiber to increase comfort
5. The face mask contains hyaluronic acid, acacia honey and 7 naturally derived extracts which give your skin a dewy appearance and leads your skin to be firm and radiant. All ingredients are made in Japan.

Lululun has an array of masks with different type of ingredients. It is best to find one that suits your needs. They have Premium Lululun masks which you can only buy in a specific parts of Japan.

Since I went to Hokkaido, I bought 2 Hokkaido special edition masks to try! Honey and Corn and Lavender.

The packaging is so beautiful!

Each pack contains 7 sheets which is ideal for travelling and eco-friendly too!

So what is special about the Hokkaido edition masks?

Each lavender face mask does not only contain lavender, it also has

• Haskaps (honeyberries/honeysuckle) extract — brightens and relax your skin
• Hatomugi extract — hydrates your skin

The honey and corn face mask contains

• Japanese Kelp — brightens skin
• Vitamin E — slows ageing process
• Daylily flower extract — moistens the skin
• Vitamin C — boosts collagen

As you can infer from the ingredients above, the honey and corn face mask is targeted at mature women.

Close up of the the lavender packaging

7 neatly folded mask is what you see when you open each packet.

How to use:

Step 1: After cleansing, apply the face mask from the center of your face

Step 2: Gently press and hold your face in your hands

Step 3: Relax and wait for 10 minutes

What I like about this product is that it brightens my skin and does not leave my face sticky. However, the mask gets dry after 15 minutes but I guess this is normal for a daily mask since it’s only meant to be used for a short period of time.

The normal edition masks are available at Don Don Donki and Watsons. Though premium lululun range is meant for sale in specific parts of Japan, I saw the Kyoto edition mask selling at 5 sheets for $25 at Watsons and Red Mart online. *gasp*
