Ettang Modeling Take-Out Cup Pack

Size: 17g/cup (8 count/set)
Modeling rubber masks - are a step up from the ordinary sheet masks. A staple regimen in Korean celebrity spas. Favored for their instant glowing and brightening results.

When applied, the thick layer of mask fully follows the shape and contour of your face. The thick layer - forces all the nutrient-rich goodness into the skin, without any evaporation.

Also known as rubber mask, this is a premium facial mask. Once only available in Korean aesthetic facial spas - widely sought after by Korean celebrities, modeling masks give your face a boost of glow, softness and hydration that is almost instantaneous!

HOW IT WORKS
Alginate, found in sea kelp extract - transforms the texture from a powder to a rubbery layer. The thick rubbery layer binds to the skin firmly and pushes all the nutrients from the mask into the skin, and seals the moisture in; unlike sheet masks that do not bind as firmly. This pushing action, also known as a non-reversible osmotic action, forces all the goodness in the mask to flow in only one direction - that is to be absorbed only by your face.

Modeling rubber masks are better at deep cleansing, clarifying and toning pores than sheet masks. It becomes like a 'peel-off' mask that lift dead skin cells, revealing an intensely hydrated and super soft, glowing skin - without the irritation, pulling or drying.

HOW TO USE
Add water into the modeling mask cup, up to about half of the cup.

Mix well with the spatula included in the cup - until it becomes a thick paste.

Spread a thick layer onto the face - starting with the cheek, chin, forehead and end with the nose.

Leave it on for about 15 - 20 minutes before gently lifting the mask off.

Rinse off if any residue is left behind, with warm water. Continue with regular skin care routine - ampoule, serum/essence, and moisturizer.

Recommended once or twice weekly use, to boost and clear skin. 
VERDICT
April 26th, 2016: OMG, I love this! This is a totally awesome mask. Not only does it have cute packaging, but it felt nice and cool and soothing while it was on my face. Most importantly, however, it left my skin feeling unbelievably soft, smooth, radiant and nice after using this and that amazing skin lasted all the way through the next day. Sheet masks are great, but this just takes it to another level. Also, there's more than enough product in here. 

While I like all the different varieties, my favorites of the bunch are the Acerola, Charcoal, and Collagen. My least favorite, which didn't seem to perform as well as the others was the Paper Mulberry. 

Putting it on it felt like I was spackling my face, but it was fun; and peeling it was a breeze except where it got caught on my hair along the perimeter of my face. Wasn't painful, but it was a bit of a pain to get it out of my hair. It can be a bit awkward putting it on at first, but you get used to it and get better at it with each use.

One thing to note though, you gotta work fast. The first time I tried this it started to rubber up before I was done applying it all on my face, so now I like to split the powder in half and work with it in a two step process. I mix the first half to apply on the lower half of my face (cheeks, nose, and chin) then mix the second half to apply on the rest of my face. That way I'm not racing against the clock and I have the time to apply it more evenly and smooth.

The first time I used this product...as you can see not the smoothest application. I focused so much on trying to get it smooth the cheeks and center of my face is pretty good, but the rest...the outer perimeter is not.
As I kept using it, it got less awkward and I got better at spreading it on my face...now, I feel like I've gotten the hang of it.
This is definitely on my repurchase list.
