LuLuLun Face Masks (Okinawa Edition)


Haisai! 🌺 Back with another blog post...surprised? If I don’t have a vlog prepared, I thought a blog post could be a substitute for the time being. Anyways! I wanted to talk about these Okinawa Edition LuLuLun Face Masks. This isn’t a review or anything, I just felt like sharing them because I just love this brand. I have that Okinawan blood in me, so I couldn’t resist getting these. Since these are Okinawa edition, these obviously gotta be goya-scented, right? When I went to Okinawa 3 years back, I bought two different Okinawa edition face masks from this brand and that was hibiscus-scented and shikuwasa-scented. Yum yum yum, I love shikuwasa~ but not the point. 

LuLuLun is one of my favorite face mask brands. Not just because of how cute they make the packaging, or how they have special editions for areas in Japan or during the seasons, but that they really work well with my skin. My skin is very sensitive. And I mean VERY. Like I have to be careful with what products to use on my face or I break out like mad. I’ve always had sensitive skin since junior high school. My skin isn’t as bad as it was since I try to take better care of it now, but it’s still not perfect. LuLuLun is very gentle with my skin. It doesn’t overpower it or harshens my skin. Plus, it's not heavily scented. I say this all the time, but it's best to stay away from heavily scented products. They may smell nice, but if it's heavily soaked with that scent, it can't exactly be good for your skin. There's a chance it could cause damage. So I've been told multiple times by a beauty guru and a dermatologist. Getting back to these face masks, they really sooth my skin from all the chaos that it goes through lol. I don’t use face masks quite often. I’m told it’s not good to use them a lot during the week or it could overwhelm the skin. I used to do it twice a week, but now I’ve lowered it to once a week and that is usually on a Saturday after a whole week of work finishes. I really pamper myself (with a glass of red/rose wine 🍷, sake🍶 or Orion beer of course🍻). I do also use Korean face masks from Missha, but rarely since Missha face masks are not exactly easy to find here. They sell them at a specific store. Not to mention the face masks from Korea are huge! From what I’ve experienced anyway. I think face masks from Japan are a perfect (errr sorta) size for my face. But I’m not complaining. As long as they do the job for my skin, I’m fine with whatever size it comes in. 

I know my eyes are like super red haha. They always get like that after a long day of work, especially having contact lenses in for an entire day. I should stick to my glasses at work once in awhile~

  1. So, it is better to only use facemasks once a week? Good to know!

    1. Once or twice a week is best. I know a lot of people do it everyday before their makeup...but I heard that's not exactly good. But I guess it depends on the skin. I doubt your skin is as sensitive as mine XD I really have to be cautious~

    2. You'd be surprised. I have to be extra careful with what I use too. That's why I stick to the same products for a long time. Can't take a risk. I started using facemasks every night and my skin seems ok. But twice a week makes sense. Skin needs a break too. And I agree! Korean facemasks are HUGE!!

    3. Really? You seem to always have such nice skin! And they are huge! I wonder why...when Koreans tend to have smaller faces.
