Chinese face mask is becoming more popular every year. People fell in love with it not only with its usual creamy consistency, but also in the form of a fabric napkin with natural extracts. All Chinese cosmetics (including face masks) are in no way inferior to their European counterparts, the cost of which is many times higher. Therefore, products from China to improve the condition of facial skin have not lost their popularity for more than 10 years.
Benefits for the skin
Each Chinese face mask contains unique plants that have been actively used for many centuries. New technologies have helped achieve the impact of cosmetics at the cellular level, which ensures maximum effectiveness of modern Chinese products. Cosmetics are produced based on the ancient traditions of China and are divided into several varieties:
- Fabric masks. Products with moisturizing properties are distinguished by the fact that they help eliminate wrinkles, peeling and age spots. The manufacturer applies an extract of a medicinal plant to a special material, which is absorbed by skin cells immediately after contact with it.
- Collagen overlays. Amazing products have a rejuvenating effect and can easily replace expensive procedures in salons. Collagen perfectly tightens the skin, eliminates wrinkles, eliminates swelling around the eyes and increases the density of the lower layer of the epidermis. This cosmetic product has already become an indispensable assistant for many girls, instantly removing the traces of a sleepless night.
- Homemade mixtures. The Chinese often prepare masks at home from ingredients that help them maintain youthful and beautiful skin. Some recipes have reached other countries, so now everyone can make a mask with their own hands and as a result get clear skin with a porcelain tint.

Like any Asian cosmetics, a Chinese face mask is distinguished not only by its carefully selected composition, but also by its immediate results.

Honey is often used in face masks. But in recipes for Chinese face masks, honey is combined with very different ingredients.
Recipe No. 1.
This mask can be used if you urgently need to get yourself in order before an important meeting or event. With its help, you are guaranteed a facelift, and within 5 hours your skin will be flawless. And with frequent use, the effect will be longer.
Compound:
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon starch
- 1 teaspoon milk (for oily skin, use sour cream or yogurt)
You need to mix all the ingredients and apply the mask on your face for 15 minutes. And then rinse with cool water. For best results, wipe your skin with an ice cube.
Recipe No. 2.
This Chinese mask not only fights wrinkles, but also nourishes, evens out skin tone, and significantly reduces the appearance of age spots. The mask contains honey, starch and sea salt.
- Take a small bowl or mug in which we mix 1 teaspoon of honey (preferably liquid) and 1 teaspoon of starch,
- This mixture must be thoroughly kneaded with a spoon until it has a uniform whitish color.
- Then add a teaspoon of crushed sea salt (it can be replaced with ordinary iodized salt) and knead.
- For dry and sensitive skin, add another 1 teaspoon of milk to the mask.
- Apply the mask to the skin directly with a spoon (avoiding the eye and lip area), in several layers, until all the prepared honey-starch mixture is used up.
- Keep on face for 25 minutes, then rinse. If you experience discomfort, burning or tingling, wash off the mask. This may be caused by the presence of honey, which is considered a strong allergen. Therefore, it is better to add acacia honey to the mask, which is considered less allergenic.

It is not surprising that the secret of this mystical youth lies in the regular use of special cosmetics with a unique formulation based on thousands of years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, practical Chinese have embodied all the achievements of centuries-old experience in their masks, which are now popular with us. But there are a huge number of manufacturers of this Chinese miracle product in our market. To help you not get lost in this variety, based on reviews, we decided to compile a review of the best Chinese face masks, describing their effects and indicating the approximate price for these miracle products.
The absolute leader in our market! The Dizao brand captivated our girls with a diverse range of masks, a very pleasant design and... the fact that the product description on the packaging can be read in Russian. Moreover, all of the company’s products in our country are certified and consist of almost one hundred percent natural ingredients. Judging by the reviews, the most popular of them with us are corals and algae, rejuvenating red caviar, Tibetan herbs that remove toxins from the skin and a mask with 100% hyaluronic acid.
At the moment, the brand has released three series of its wonderful masks: the classic two-stage (mask and serum or ceramide complex that fixes the effect); Boto-meso line aimed at mature skin and a series of express masks to achieve quick results.
The products can be purchased at a pharmacy or online store. Such masks cost, on average, 750 rubles. for a pack of 10 pieces (RUB 75 per piece). The Boto-meso series will cost a little more - you will pay about the same price for 6 masks.
In the line of Bioaqua masks with a cute design, you can choose a product to solve absolutely any skin problem: the brand’s range ranges from light moisturizing masks to deep lifting masks. You can buy this miracle on AliExpress, the best priced links to which are provided below, within 80 cents - 4 dollars per package, depending on the series.
The most popular mask among our girls is a black deep cleansing mask to eliminate acne, as well as a collagen one made from seaweed seeds (887 rubles for a 200 gram jar), or a 15 gram bag of the same mask for 101 rubles. But, a special “bomb” super hit from Bioaqua is a moisturizing sheet mask with egg yolk, and for only 58 rubles! The reviews write that “this mask is so cool that it smeared many other masks that were used before” 🙂. Many girls say that it was after this mask that they took a closer look at the Bioaqua brand.
3. Ecophy Cactus Essence Moisturizing Facial Mask
The most adorable mask in a cute package for deep hydration and nourishment of the skin at night. It has an incredibly pleasant delicate texture with the smell of the freshest cucumber (perhaps this is what cacti are supposed to smell like 🙂). In some reviews it smells more like herbs. It can be applied for express hydration and as a mask, but it is preferable to leave it on the skin overnight. There is no need to rub it in - after 10 minutes it is completely absorbed. Has a pleasant cooling effect.
This mask is suitable for both dry and combination and oily skin! This is a “bold” new product for 2019, and reviews about it can so far be found mainly on Aliexpress. The jar is only 100 ml, but it is super economical. The best price for this “charm” on Aliexpress is 470 rubles (there are even 330 promotions here!)
Today, the Vikola brand arsenal on our market includes three types of face masks: pearl, aloe and a mask with bamboo salt, each of which will cost approximately 95-360 rubles. per pack of 5 pieces, depending on promotions in online stores and place of purchase.
Judging by the reviews, our girls liked the “Bamboo Salt” mask the most from this series. It is impregnated with an extract of young bamboo shoots, which contains all the components necessary for the skin - amino acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, mineral salts. Bamboo is the number one product in Asia for the care of tired skin, so this mask is suitable for all those who have a gray complexion, clogged pores and skin without tone. Bamboo essence penetrates the outer layers of the skin, cleanses pores and removes impurities, and also moisturizes, activates cellular metabolism and renews the skin, providing a lifting effect.
5. La Milee Honey Tearing Mask
The most amazing honey film mask for oily skin prone to inflammation. Judging by the reviews, it simply perfectly tightens pores, and the skin after it becomes “mega-smooth.” In addition, the propolis extract included in the composition nourishes the skin. The mask smells very pleasant of honey, is easy to apply, dries quickly, is easy to remove, and the residue can be easily washed off. Our girls in the reviews are very pleased with the result, since this “honey masterpiece” incredibly evens out the skin tone.
The Chinese brand La Milee itself is little known among us, but it says a lot that of the 384 reviews left for this mask on Aliexpress, almost all of them are 5 stars. It usually costs 1009 rubles. per tube, but from the seller indicated in the link you can “catch” shares, which sometimes reach up to 75% (at the time of writing the review, the price of the mask is only 272 rubles).
Rolanjona is a well-known Chinese brand with an impressive range of products, but our girls are going crazy for this company's seaweed seed mask. The amazing effect of it is obvious, but the hieroglyphs on the packaging do not allow us to find out what the secret of this amazing miracle product is. Here we will correct translation difficulties.
The mask contains 100% natural ingredients: brown algae seeds (Sargassum pallidum) and rosehip seeds, which have moisturizing properties. On the Internet you can find arguments that algae do not bloom, and therefore they cannot have seeds. In fact, the reproduction of the alga Sargassum pallidum occurs both vegetatively and sexually: a mature female germ cell of the alga is fertilized and forms a zygote, from which a seedling then appears. These algae zygotes are part of the mask - they are called spores, but when translated, for the sake of euphony, they write “seeds”.
But no matter what the name of the main ingredient is, this does not in any way affect the number of rave reviews about the mask, the secret of the wonderful effect of which lies in the unique composition of seaweed seeds: in addition to numerous vitamins, microelements and natural collagen, they contain alginates. It is these polysaccharides that are able to strengthen collagen fibers in the skin, so they provide a pronounced rejuvenating effect; alginates also have a lymphatic drainage effect, removing puffiness, strengthening and toning the skin, moisturizing it, nourishing it and removing toxins.
To use 2 tsp. This natural miracle needs to be filled with twice as much boiling water. The price of an intriguing product on AliExpress is 309-332 rubles per pack of 12 sachets (depending on promotions).
Another Chinese brand with excellent value for money. With an average cost of about 1.5-8 dollars per mask (depending on volume) Among Laikou’s huge assortment, you can find the right product to solve any skin problem and try the most exotic ingredients - in addition to snail mucin, concentrated Matcha tea and Asian beans, the company even has rejuvenating masks with horse skin secretions in its arsenal!
But our girls still prefer a mask from this company with a more traditional composition - hyaluronic acid (Laikou Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask, 545 rubles for 10 pieces), and among the exotic ones they venture the most on a mask with snail extract (Laikou Snail Nutrition Essence Mask, 129 rubles . for one mask), which, however, has an excellent smoothing effect.
Hyaluronic acid is the leader in popularity and in the choice of Caicui series masks by our compatriots. And this preference can be understood - in addition to the main ingredient, the mask contains aloe and seaweed extract, rich in rare vitamins, minerals, amino acids and polysaccharides. After using this mask, the skin really becomes fresh and soft. Packaging this Caicui brand product will cost approximately 283 rubles for a pack of 6 pieces.
Also be sure to pay attention to the “wine representative” of the same brand. This is a night mask like the version with cactus that we discussed above, but for aging skin. Reviews from women are the most enthusiastic. After the mask, the skin becomes smooth, smooth, absolutely moisturized. The price of the “question” on Aliexpress is 290-565 rubles. per 160 gram jar (wait for promotions!)
9. Gujhui (Facial Skin Care Face Mask Sheet Moisture Cosmetics Whitening Oil Control Skin Wrinkle Acne remove Mask)
The luxury of silk on your skin! And a hit among our women - 5 stars out of 5 based on 90 reviews! This mask for oily skin with enlarged pores really works wonders - it not only deeply cleanses the skin and removes comedones, but also moisturizes, whitens, and rejuvenates. According to reviews, after using this silk mask, the skin becomes soft to the touch, smooth and healthy in appearance.
Here we will also leave a direct link to this wonderful mask on Aliexpress, because the manufacturer with the name Gujhui, which sounds dissonant to the Russian ear, may treacherously not say anything to search engines. Just choose the green one, or “oil control”, because the purple package contains bleaching. This mask costs 53 rubles per piece.
11. Pearl powder
One of the most favorite means of Chinese women to achieve the effect of pearlescent skin since ancient times! And now this unique pearl powder has become popular among our beauties. Pearl powder presented on our market is made from ground freshwater pearls and mother-of-pearl, which is formed in the shells of some bivalve mollusks. In principle, the manufacturer’s brand is not important here, since Chinese-made pearl powder is all of fairly good quality. You can also purchase it in our online stores or some pharmacies, and on Aliexpress here is the most profitable and inexpensive option - 523 rubles. per 250 gram package.
You can apply pearl powder to the skin simply by diluting it with milk, but the best thing is to add a teaspoon to all your favorite masks. Quote about the properties of this product from reviews: “pearl powder removes free radicals, improves metabolism, thereby providing a powerful rejuvenating effect, strengthens the protective forces of cells, activates sluggish, tired skin, increases its immune abilities and vitality, smoothes wrinkles, whitens pigment spots spots, gives the skin freshness, firmness, elasticity, dullness, silkiness and a healthy glow.” Well, you understand - you have to take it! 🙂
