Multi-mask With These Food-infused Ones From Taiwanese Brand, heme

Many people have grumbled on the fact that a one-piece face mask does not specifically target the different problem areas we have on our faces. For example, some of us might have a combination skin type and perhaps would like to have a mask for oil-control on the forehead and another kind for minimizing the pores on our nose. Cosmetic and beauty brands out there have slowly picked up on our pleas and the term “multi-masking” was born. This means that you can use multiple masks on different zones of your face to work on specific concerns. How efficient right? And it definitely makes more sense.

This concept not only allows you to personalise your masks according to your facial needs, it also makes masking a little more fun. It’s basically like mix-and-match! Brands such as Innisfree and Skin Inc were quick to be one of the first few to ride on the concept and now, Taiwanese brand heme has hopped on the multi-masking trend.
When we received the package from the brand, we honestly thought they were the jelly drinks we used to have when we were kids. So let’s just say the packaging is really enticing and looks pretty appetising. But they do have a very good reason for coming up with the Heinz-lookalike cover. These clay masks are actually food-based and they have six “flavours” available – Eggshell (Yellow), Acai Berry (Purple), Tomato (Red), Mint (Green), Cocoa Oat (Light Brown), and Brown Sugar (Dark Brown).

Some combination masks you can try out are the Tomato, Mint and Brown Sugar Clay Mask. Apply the Mint-flavoured one on the nose for oil-control, the Tomato-infused one on the upper half of the face for whitening, and the Brown Sugar Clay Mask on the bottom half to moisturize and exfoliate.

Alternatively, you can opt for the Acai Berry, Eggshell, and Cocoa Oat trio. Slathering the Acai Berry version on the upper half allows for regeneration of the skin, since it’s packed with vitamins A, C and E. It also helps maintain elasticity and a youthful glow on the face. Follow up by smothering a layer of the Eggshell Clay Mask to unclog all those nasty stubborn pores, and finally apply the Cocoa Oat on the bottom half. Chocolates are rich in antioxidants and help reverse the signs of ageing and they’re also great for removing excess oil and dirt.
So there you have it! When it comes to multi-masking, it is really up to you to decide on what you want to use to specifically target the problems that you have. Everybody has different skin conditions and problem areas so the concept of dedicating different masks for different zones is simply brilliant. The only downside? We would probably crave for some legit chocolate oat after a masking sesh.
Unfortunately, they are not available in Singapore, but you can engage the help of travelers via Airfrov or use a parcel forwarding service to get your hands on them.
