Supercharge Your Mask Routine

 

 

Let’s talk masks. There are so many out there—sheet masks, clay masks, charcoal masks, gooey masks, scrubby masks, masks you don’t remove, masks you have to remove after two short minutes. We could go on and on.  

At Soon, masks are our thing. We love their ability to deliver ultra nourishing ingredients to your skin without getting in the way of your lifestyle. And while sheet masks are a Korean skincare must have, adding lip masks, eye patches, and hand and foot masks to the lineup ensures no area is forgotten. With a few tweaks to your mask routine, you can take your treatment experience and results to the next level. 

Try these tips for supercharging sheet masks. 

• Use them weekly. Masks don’t need to be used daily, but they should be used with consistency just like your other skincare products. Once a week is ideal. We love saving ours for Sunday funday (or those Sunday scaries) to start our week off the right way.  
• Take them on the go. The best part about masks is their portability. They’re easy to slip in your suitcase or overnight bag, and let you multitask with work and kids. Rumor has it our employees can be caught foot masking during video calls and some moms even wear their eye patches in the school pickup line. We LOVE the dedication to healthy skin!
• Prep your skin first. You know the drill—if you want better ingredient absorption, exfoliate! We recommend our Polish Pack Exfoliating Wash Cloth and Mitt Duo to exfoliate your face, lips, hands or feet before applying your mask. But because the skin around your eyes is very delicate, skip the scrub before applying eye patches. Instead, cleanse thoroughly to remove all dirt, oil and makeup. 
• Apply a serum before you mask up. Our masks, made of either biocellulose or hydrogel, are built for locking in serum and preventing evaporation of ingredients. Biocellulose is a natural fiber that can absorb up to 100x it’s dry weight, which means it can be drenched in serum and won’t dry out during use. Micro-hole hydrogel adheres to your facial curves without slipping out of place, pressing ingredients past the first layer of the skin. Boost your results by applying a serum before applying your sheet mask -- that ensures you’re getting the most out of that product.
• Cool for extra de-puffing. We love this tip for eye patches. Place your eye product in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes then apply the cool product under your eye patches for mega de-puffing and brightening. 
• Remember your forgotten areas. Masks aren’t just for your face anymore. Try pairing our fan favorite Bioceullose Anti-Aging Face Mask with eye patches or a lip mask. And for those times when you’re propped in front of the television enjoying a glass of wine, add in a foot or hand mask as an extra treat. Pop some gloves or socks on, take the treatment to bed and wake up with super soft hands and feet.

Lip Masking 101

 

Dry, cracked lips are never fun, but a lip mask? That is our idea of fun. Our hydrogel lip masks are a Korean skincare favorite, using lightweight, comfortable sheets infused with lip-loving ingredients like aloe and allantoin that improve moisture retention all day and all night. 

Our Strawberry Lip Masks with Collagen also have, you guessed it, strawberry to reduce dark spots and wrinkles, and give your lips a dose of vitamin C. Strawberry is rich in antioxidants which help fight free radicals. (Remember those?) An added boost of marine collagen helps plump the skin and has long-term anti-aging benefits. 

The Hydrating Watermelon Lip Masks use watermelon, which not only hydrates the skin but also helps seal moisture in for long-lasting hydration. The addition of niacinamide increases cell turnover, an essential process for anti-aging. Lip masks are good for all skin types, so you can’t go wrong with these K-skincare products. 

So, when do you use a lip mask? Try it: 

• In the morning. Ever heard the advice to drink 8 oz. of water upon waking to replenish your body’s hydration? Your lips (and the rest of your skin!) need the same attention. After cleansing your face, apply a lip mask and restore any loss of moisture during your good night’s sleep. 
•  
• Right before bed. Air is typically cooler and drier overnight which can lead to dry, cracked lips in the morning. Giving your skin an extra boost of hydration before bed should reduce any discomfort during the night and in the morning. 
• In the bath. While you soak, the heat from the water should help open up your pores and allow for better absorption of hydrating and anti-aging ingredients. Apply your lip mask, sit back and relax.
• Before an event. Incorporate a lip mask into your prep process for a date night, party or any other special outing. Your lip products will apply better and last longer on smooth, hydrated lips. 

Now through Feb. 28, 2021, pucker up with a free jar of Strawberry Lip Masks with Collagen ($38 value) with any $75+ purchase. Add the lip mask to your cart and use code LIPLOVE at checkout.

Soon Skincare Review | First Time Using Korean Skincare

It’s safe to say that Korean skincare has swept the world. Affectionately dubbed K-beauty, it’s rooted in innovation and promises of healthy, porcelain skin. At Soon, we’re named after our co-founder Lisa’s grandmother Soon who believed in nurturing her skin. In Korean, Soon means “smooth” and “pure,” a fitting reflection of Korean skincare and our brand.

K-Skincare: What You Want to Know

 

 

It’s safe to say that Korean skincare has swept the world. Affectionately dubbed K-beauty, it’s rooted in innovation and promises of healthy, porcelain skin. At Soon, we’re named after our co-founder Lisa’s grandmother Soon who believed in nurturing her skin. In Korean, Soon means “smooth” and “pure,” a fitting reflection of Korean skincare and our brand. 

What exactly is Korean skincare, you ask? Here’s the scoop. 

It’s inspired by nature. 

Ingredients you’ll often find in Korean skincare products, especially those used at Soon, are natural ingredients that pack a punch in your skincare routine. Ingredients like aloe, marine collagen, vitamin C, raspberry and grapefruit that are rich in restorative, nourishing and beautifying properties. 

A regimen is what you want it to be. 

K-beauty has a reputation. Often associated with having a lengthy, multi-step daily routine, Korean skincare regimens can be as short and sweet, or long and detailed as you want. Healthy skin and visible results are about finding the right products for you and consistency, consistency, consistency! 

Sheet masks reign supreme.

Sheet masks are a Korean skincare favorite. The convenience of sheet mask packaging means they’re more easily incorporated in a person’s daily routine. Sheet masks also bring serums into a mask form, for incredibly potent at-home treatments. The added benefit of this style of masking is the sheet prevents the evaporation of important and ultra-hydrating ingredients, so your skin absorbs more of what it needs. 

Fun fact: Soon Skincare was founded after Lisa and co-founder Kayla were looking for a better experience with sheet masks. Instead of searching the stores, they created sheet masks they wanted to use. (We may be bias, but they nailed it.)

Ingredient Spotlight: Marine Collagen

 

 

Topical collagen is all the rage these days and with its anti-aging and skin moisturizing benefits, we’re glad the beauty world is catching on. As the main protein in your body (about 30%!), collagen is one of the key elements of your skin. It helps bind all the other components together. In fact, collagen gets its name from the Greek word kóla, which translates to glue. 

Why it’s important

As you age, your body’s natural collagen production starts to slow which contributes to signs of aging. Studies show collagen production start decreasing in your late 20s, even losing about 1% of the body’s natural collagen per year in your 30s. 

The moral of the story is this: to prevent signs of aging from collagen depletion, incorporate topical collagen into your skincare routine. It’s a perfect regimen addition for preventing signs of aging, and minimizing the appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles.

Finding the right product

So, which kind of collagen is best? Our favorite form of topical collagen is ethically sourced from marine byproducts. It’s made up of Type I collagen, the type that makes up the building blocks of your skin.  That’s why marine collagen is considered the most biocompatible with the skin, most effectively penetrating the skin’s surface to encourage strengthening, wrinkle reduction, elasticity and moisture retention.  

See what the buzz is about. Try marine collagen in: 

• Mermaid Marine Collagen Serum – a fan favorite that combines 46% marine collagen with other age-fighting ingredients like aloe vera, allantoin and hyaluronic acid. 
• Biocellulose Anti-Aging Face Mask – an advanced sheet that infuses the skin with marine collagen, rose extract and aloe. 
• Micro-Hole Hydrogel Collagen Face Mask – a skin-hugging sheet mask that deeply hydrates and plumps the skin by pairing marine collagen with raspberry ketones and hyaluronic acid.
