Aren't masks by Dr Althea the prettiest ever? Its shiny packaging definitely looks like a gift. Doesn't it make you want to get one of each and enjoy a "girl night" with your friends, your favourite TV-show and a huge bowl of popcorn? The silver one does an excellent job at regulating excess sebum and refining pores, even if you have dry skin.

The Pore-Control Charcoal Mask by Dr. Althea is perfect to improve the overall appearance of the skin in three steps: it treats enlarged pores and controls excess sebum, removes dead cells and the impurities that build up on the skin, and restore the skin's natural elasticity. This is all thanks to coal dust, its main active ingredient, which thoroughly cleanses the pores. It also contains a mix of amino acids from wheat protein, which stimulate the natural production of collagen for skin to appear more supple, and allantoin, which softens and soothes irritated skin. Lastly, it contains pomegranate extract —it hydrates the skin and provides antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin E— and the extract of a highly astringent fungus called forms officinalis to regulate excess sebum. You're probably wondering why the mask is black — its sheet is made of natural coal fibre, so it's twice as effective.

Apply the mask to your face and smooth it out gently with your fingers. Lay back, relax... and enjoy some precious “me time”. Leave on for 10 minutes and remove. You can squeeze the remaining serum out of the pouch and apply it to your neck, chest, arms and hands. Koreans apply a sheet mask every day, so we recommend you do so at least twice a week.
