Etude 0.2 Therapy Air Mask Sheet: How To Choose

at March 25, 2017 1 comments
Hi! Currently addicted to Korean mask sheets, I hand carried so many Etude 0.2 mm Therapy Air Mask Sheets directly from Korea since it's cheaper than in local shopping malls. I use it once a day so I need a lot of mask sheets but I avoid buying from unknown online shops; there are so many fake ones from China and it's hard to tell which ones are. It's better to buy from Etude official shops than to take risk using the fake ones and damage your skin.
There are 15 variants you can choose from and it's quite overwhelming. Here's some explanation and buying guide for Etude 0.2 mm Therapy Air Mask Sheet, hopefully it helps~



Note: I sell these sheet masks on Instagram @koreanstuffs_jkt while also using it for myself. Kindly visit and buy some 😊.100% original since it's directly hand carried from Etude Shops in Korea (not from unknown distributor/seller). Money back guarantee if not original.


Etude I Need You Mask vs  Etude 0.2 mm Therapy Air Mask

In Indonesia Etude 0.2 mm Therapy Air Mask Sheet hasn't been sold in any Etude House official shops. They still sell the old and discontinued one called I Need You Mask. In short, the Etude 0.2 mm Therapy Air Mask is the improved version of I Need You Therapy Mask and a bit more expensive.

Main Differences:
1. Previously there were only 2 types of consistency and now it's 3


2. It's thinner hence more comfortable to wear and let your skin breathe while using. It fits better and transfer the ingredients more effectively to our skin. I thought it will dry faster than the I Need You mask but it's not.
3. It's more elastic and harder to tear

4. Packaging
Old packaging on the left. New packaging on the right. The old one are glossier while the new one is matte.

Features

It doesn't contain any artificial fragrance so the fragrance is mild. The result when checking all ingredients on cosdna.com, all the ingredients are safe and are not irritating. It's safe for sensitive or burning skin.
