We love a good mask moment. But if you’ve ever peeled one off and thought, “Wow, I wish this glow lasted forever,” you’re not alone. The Korean skincare hack everyone’s obsessing over: mask sandwiching! It’s basically a hydration power move, layering moisture before and after your mask so your skin looks plump, dewy. And the best part? It works with products you probably already have in your stash.
What Is Mask Sandwiching, Anyway?
Think of it like building the perfect skincare sandwich. Step one: hydration base. Step two: your mask (the main course). Step three: lock it all in. This technique traps every ounce of goodness from your mask so your skin stays juicy, bouncy, and glowing for hours, not minutes!
Dermatologists say layering hydration is key for moisture retention and barrier support, especially in dry environments. So instead of letting your sheet mask do all the heavy lifting, you’re boosting its power and making the results last longer.
Step 1: The Refreshing Start (Hydrate First!)
Before you even touch that mask, set the stage with a hydrating toner. Our pick? Rose Water Toner, the ultimate multitasker. Rose water has been loved for centuries for its ability to soothe, tone, and refresh without stripping your skin. Plus, it’s naturally packed with antioxidants, which help calm irritation and prep your skin for all the goodness coming next.
Pro tip: Chill your toner in the fridge for an instant spa vibe. Oh so refreshing!
Step 2: The Star Player (Mask Time!)
Now for the fun part: the mask. The Glowy Look Peel-Off Mask with Pomegranate isn’t your average mask, it’s a hydration and radiance cocktail in disguise. Here’s what’s inside:
Pomegranate Extract – Loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that fight free radicals while moisturizing and improving elasticity.
Papaya Extract – Gentle natural enzymes help exfoliate dead cells, keeping skin smooth and even.
Orange Peel Extract – Brightens, tones, and adds a hit of Vitamin C goodness for a fresh, luminous look.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) – Balances tone, enhances barrier strength, and keeps your glow game strong.
Apply, let it work its magic, and when you peel it off? Say hello to refreshed, radiant skin!
Step 3: Seal the Deal (Lock It All In!)
This is where most people stop, and where the glow disappears by noon. Don’t make that mistake. After masking, layer on a barrier-loving moisturizer to keep everything trapped in. Our hero? Vitamin C Night Cream. It’s a hydration powerhouse featuring:
Vitamin C – A dermatologist-favorite antioxidant that brightens, evens tone, and fights oxidative stress (aka, dullness and fine lines).
Hyaluronic Acid – Your hydration hero that binds water to the skin, keeping it plump and supple.
Rosehip Oil & Squalane – Nourish and protect your barrier while giving a silky, non-greasy finish.
Even though it’s called a night cream, it’s gentle enough for day use too (just don’t forget SPF if you’re heading out!).
Why It Works (The Glow Science)
This hack isn’t just TikTok hype, it’s backed by science. Layering hydrating products creates a moisture gradient that helps ingredients penetrate deeper and last longer. According to dermatologists, techniques like this support your skin barrier, which is essential for locking in hydration and keeping irritants out.
Mask sandwiching is the easiest way to turn your basic masking session into a full-on hydration feast. With Rose Water Toner, Glowy Look Peel-Off Mask, and Vitamin C Night Cream, you’ve got the dream team for plump, radiant, K drama worthy skin!
