Dr. Jart Mask provides daily nourishment for healthy skin with superb hydrating ingredients.

Moreover, it’s extremely easy and quick to use for your refreshed skin. First, wash then dry your face. Secondly, open the mask pack and remove the film from the mask. Lastly, put it on your face for about 15 to 20 minutes, then remove it. You can instantly see your skin noticeably softer and feel deeply moisturized. Indulge your dry skin in the ultimate hydration therapy with Dr. Jart Mask, the Dermask Water Jet Solutions.

And if you have ever had a personal Korean skincare service, you would know that the Dr. Jart Rubber Mask is nearly similar to having treatment by a professional beauty therapist from a skincare shop. Besides, there are four variations you can choose from depending on how you want your skin such as hydration, pore-less, and brightening. Simply follow just two steps. First, nourish your skin with the ampule pack. Then, place the rubber mask on your face.
