Holiday Gift Guide: Facemask Edition

Everyone loves a good holiday haul, am I right or am I right? Sure, the gifts under the tree might not be what the holidays are about, but they sure do make the season just a little bit better! While receiving a good haul is fun, I think it’s even more fun to find the perfect gifts for my friends and family, and this season, there’s no doubt that Korean face masks hold the ticket to a merry and bright holiday season.

‘Tis the season to give, so why not give the gift that will keep on giving well into the New Year? Here are ten Korean sheet masks that will delight all your friends and keep their skin looking healthy and fresh as we enter 2019.

Tony Moly I’m Real Sheet Mask

This popular brand offers the very best sheet masks for that one friend who is always on the lookout for something fun and different. The full collection includes fourteen unique natural ingredients and enriched essences, including pumpkin, tomato, avocado, broccoli, and milk, to name a few. No matter the flavor, each sheet mask also provides maximum hydration, which is what we all need to get through the bitter cold months.

Too Cool For School Sheet Mask

Too Cool For School is one of my favorite brands thanks to innovative products that use interesting ingredients like eggs. If this fun brand’s Egg Cream Mask isn’t on your list to get for your culinary-inclined and master chef friend, then you’re doing the holidays wrong! The Egg Mask line includes three different sheet masks, including one for firming, one for pore tightening, and one for hydration, and is the perfect complement to other eggs-ellent kitchen gadget gifts.

SKIN79 Fresh Garden Mask

You know that one friend who blows up your phone at unlawful hours on Saturday mornings, trying to get you to join them on a sunrise hike? Yeah, that friend would love SKIN79’s Fresh Garden Mask collection. The line includes flavors like Glacial Water, Honey, Red Ginseng, Pearl, Tea Tree, Aloe, and even Snail(!!!), which, yes, does include snail secretion. Sounds a bit gross, but your outdoorsy friends will love the adventurous vibe it brings to their skincare regime.

Patchology x Kim Chi Collaboration Face Masks

Your favorite glam-friend will positively live for Patchology’s face mask collaboration with esteemed Rupaul’s Drag Race alum Kim Chi. Each of the four masks in the line feature a different artsy design similar to the magic that is Kim Chi’s makeup skills. Say it with me: skin rejuvenation but make it fashion!

Berrisom Animal Mask Series

Forget adopting all the rescue pets, Berrisom’s Animal Mask series is truly what your animal lover friend has been looking for all along. The line features über cute animals like raccoons, monkeys, sheep, pandas, tigers, and dogs. Skip the holiday trip to the zoo and instead present your friend with the full collection of Berrisom’s Animal Masks. Warning: squeals of delight are a definite upon gifting!

Innisfree My Real Squeeze Masks

Of course we love them no matter what, but let’s be real, sometimes there’s nothing more infuriating than that one friend who can never make a decision. Innisfree My Real Squeeze masks are surely the answer to all of our—I mean, that one friend’s problems thanks to the brand’s expansive collection list that includes everything from rice and bamboo to pomegranate and cucumber. You can’t go wrong with any of the moisturizing options!

Etude House I Need You Mask Sheets

Etude House offers some truly luxurious sheet masks, including a 24K Gold Therapy Red Ginseng Mask that actually contains real gold—which will of course please your boujiest friend! Etude House also offers face masks made with lotus flower, snail (again, I promise it will do wonders for your skin), and a whole slew of good-enough-to-eat fruity options.

Reskin Solution Monday to Sunday Mask

Reskin’s solution to a seamless skin hydration routine will literally be your most organized friend’s ultimate bias (you can bias skin care products, right?). Alternatively, Reskin’s Solution Monday to Sunday masks also work for your most unorganized friend—it never hurts to nudge our loved ones in the right direction!—thanks to seven different masks for all seven days of the week.

Holika Holika Baby Pet Magic Mask Sheet

You can never have too much animal paraphernalia! Holika Holika’s sheet masks are almost too cute to use thanks to the baby animal branding featuring a pug puppy, a kitten, a young panda, and a seal pup. Buy the whole lot and the fun doesn’t have to stop after just one night of intense skin moisturization.

Etude House Wonder Pore Black Sheet Mask

Etude House’s Wonder Pore Black sheet mask is exactly what your pore/skin-obsessed friend needs sitting under their tree this year. The secret ingredient in this face mask is oak tree charcoal that has been cooked in an ultra-high temperature kiln. This ingredient helps draw out dirt and deeply cleanse pores—so basically the answer to all of your pore-pondering friend’s prayers.
