Hey folks! I've been away from my writing desk for a while, but I'm back (and more moisturized than ever!)

Lately, I've been obsessed with beauty products, especially all-things skincare. It's so important to take care of our bodies in this season — that way you're 100% ready for the hustle-and-bustle of fall!

Over the next few weeks I want to share with you some skincare products, tips, and tricks to help you rejuvenate before we return to the chaos that is August.

One essential product that I love:

SHEET MASKS.

Recently, I found out about a skincare brand called Dr. Morita. And I am obsessed with them.

Founded 84 years ago, they are very popular in Asia, and they have perfected their serum formulas with high-end skincare technology! They just released an exclusive new formula for the USA, including only premium quality ingredients. Dr. Morita gifted me two boxes of products to try, so naturally, I was pumped to test out the sheet masks in honor of #MaskMonday.

My personal fave?

the Hyaluronic Acid sheet mask!

Great for gals with dry or combination skin such as myself . . . these masks are super moisturizing and deep-penetrating. And best of all, the hyaluronic acid helps spread moisture throughout your skin cells to prevent future moisture loss! People. It. Is. Time. These masks will definitely give you happy, healthy, glowing skin 🙌🏽

Upon purchasing this, I was nervous that the serum would sting or burn — as many formulas do this to my sensitive skin — but I could not have had a better experience using this sheet mask. It was gentle enough for my sensitive skin — yet it still penetrated and gave me ample moisture!

Skin Satisfaction Rating: 5/5

Another must-have mask:

the Tranexamic Acid facial mask

Great for anyone with discoloration, tranexamic acid promotes glossiness + elasticity!

It brightens your skin, evens out the colors, and gradually helps reverse spots from exposure to UV rays — a MUST if you spend a lot of time outdoors — or if you live in Florida like me!

I found that these Tranexamic Acid masks were still pretty packed with moisture, but not quite as much as the Hyaluronic Acid masks. However, these masks were equally as gentle on my skin, and they left me glowing and incredibly fresh-faced 😃

Skin Satisfaction Rating: 4.5/5

Why I Love Face Masks from Dr. Morita (and why you will too):

Each box comes with 8 individually-packaged sheet masks. You can throw a package or two in your backpack/purse, which makes it portable and easy to travel with!
Dr. Morita only uses ingredients safe for use on the skin. I was personally a little nervous about putting "hyaluronic acid" on my face at first — but it is naturally-produced by our bodies & it’s 100% safe to use!
Each sheet mask is made of tencel (an eco-friendly, biodegradable, super breathable material, made from sustainably-sourced trees!!! we love an environmentally-conscious beauty brand)
Each and every mask has 32 mL of serum which means you're getting a BANG for your BUCK, sister. (or brother. guys can use face masks! I don't judge.)
