Essential Small-Scale Honey Items to Protect Your Skin in the Mask-Wearing Era

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] As more men and women complain about skin problems caused by prolonged mask-wearing, products that protect skin health are gaining attention. From low-irritant cleansing products to moisturizing products that replenish lost moisture, and soothing products that can calm skin concerns in the mask zone, we have gathered items from various brands to introduce essential skincare formulas for the 'must-have mask era.'

For skin problems that may arise from mask friction, it is best to soothe the skin with sufficient moisture first, then improve skin condition with skincare products that have antioxidant effects. Difonde's 'Signature Origin 100' features a 10-fold concentrated extract of 100% white wood ear mushroom, providing comprehensive skin care benefits. The white wood ear mushrooms grown in the clean region of Gangjin, Jeollanam-do, are steamed three times and dried three times using the proprietary Vintage 3310™ method to create a 10 times more concentrated extract that helps moisturize and nourish skin dried out by mask-wearing.

Difonde Signature Origin 100 has been proven through human application tests to soothe skin comfortably even after 200 instances of mask friction irritation. Additionally, it has been certified for product efficacy through 32 different human application tests. When used as the first step essence in skincare, it offers 10 skin care benefits at once, including high moisture, elasticity, radiance, and pore improvement, spreading smoothly and finishing with a firm texture.

Skincare products with excessive oiliness can irritate the skin under the mask, while those with too little oiliness can worsen skin tightness. During times like these when masks must be worn for long hours, it is recommended to use a refreshing formulation of moisture care line products that quickly absorb into the skin and densely replenish moisture.

If you want to provide your dry skin with a deeply moisturizing sensation, we recommend Difonde’s modern premium skincare brand’s ‘Deep Hydra B5 Cream.’ The complex of panthenol and hyaluronic acid, along with plant-derived extracts and carefully selected moisturizing factors (NMF), builds a solid moisture barrier to help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. Its richly absorbing, moist formulation is ideal for use as the last step in skincare.

Physical irritation caused by mask materials often triggers skin troubles such as dryness, itching, and pimples. At this time, using products containing skin-soothing ingredients like Cica can help calm skin troubles.

Botanic Healbo’s ‘Derma Intensive Cica Panthenol Blemish Cream’ contains Cica ingredients that help soothe the skin and panthenol, which is effective for moisturizing. It calms weakened skin and aids in skin condition recovery. The gel-type cream, full of moisture, absorbs gently into the skin, soothing sensitive skin that has become irritated from prolonged mask-wearing lightly and refreshingly.

Frequent mask-wearing and dry weather can disrupt the skin’s oil-moisture balance, making wrinkles around the eyes, which are more delicate than other areas, more prominent. Since the skin around the eyes is thin and prone to losing elasticity, it is best to consistently care for it with an eye cream that can provide ample moisture.

Eucerin’s ‘Hyaluron Eye Cream’ contains hyaluronic acid with excellent skin absorption that thoroughly fills moisture from deep wrinkles inside the skin, and glycine saponin, a soybean embryo extract, locks in the moisture charged deep within the skin, offering both moisturizing and wrinkle improvement effects as a functional eye cream. Its refreshing and moist formulation does not clog pores and provides rich moisture not only around the eyes but also on thin skin areas irritated by masks such as around the mouth, nasolabial folds, and neck wrinkles.

For moisturizing and soothing skin tired from mask-wearing and various external environmental factors, it is important to choose a mildly acidic, low-irritant cleansing product. Round Around’s ‘Green Tea Mild Acidic Cleansing Foam’ is a mildly acidic, low-irritant product with a pH level similar to that of the skin, helping to care for the pH balance of dry and tired skin. Instead of purified water, domestically produced green tea water is used to care for the oil-moisture balance of skin irritated by mask-wearing, and its soft mildly acidic foam provides a mild cleansing experience without tightness even after washing.
