Midweek Mask Talk: NRK HA Hydro-Lock Moisturizing Mask

Hi ladies! This is a new series that I've started. Every Wednesday, I'll share a post on one of the sheet mask that I've tried out. This week is gonna be NRK's HA Hydro-Lock Moisturizing Mask which targets to capture, pump up and lock in the moisture in our skin.

嗨！这是我部落格新开始的面膜系列。我会在每周三跟大家分享一个我试用过的面膜。这星期的主角是NRK的玻尿酸锁水保湿面膜。它的任务就是抓水、补水和锁水。

I just like the graphic design of this...don't know why
And this shade of blue is very calming, don't you think?

The main ingredient here is Glycerin, which I've explained before, is a common moisturizer used in many skincare, body and hair products. Other than that, there's Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum and Erythritol which enhances the ability of skin cells to lock in moisture while Homarine HCL act as a skin-conditioning agent to balance the level of moisture. The main character of this product, HA, is actually the 3rd last ingredient listed: Sodium Hyaluronate. Just to share something about HA, it actually does not help to improve the skin's moisture when used topically because the molecule are too large to be absorb into deep skin.

面膜里的主要成份是甘油，之前也给大家解释过了，它是一种常用在护肤、护发产品里的保湿成份。此外， 还有锁水灵，云实斯皮诺萨胶和赤藓糖醇， 它们都是用来强化皮肤细胞锁水的耐力。而Homarine HCL 是稳定皮肤水分的最佳干事人。 面膜里的最佳主角还是玻尿酸，是排在成份表里的最后第三名，透明质酸钠。 在这要给大家分享关于玻尿酸的一点

The essence that soaks the mask is quite watery. And it's one of the reason why I like it. The light weighted essence is easy on the skin and it's not too sticky after it dries off. Perfect for a quick fix before an important night out!

面膜里的精华瞒水的，也是我喜欢这款面膜的其中一个原因。 薄稀的精华敷在脸上不会有粘粘的感觉。约会或任何隆重活动前敷上来补救皮肤是最适合不过了！

The mask is so thin, you can even see my pimple scars

The size of the mask is perfect to my face. The texture of the mask is also very thin but not too hard to handle. Because sometimes when the mask is too thin and soft, it's hard to open up the folds without tearing it. This mask is not too stiff and it lays down nicely onto my face. As you can see from the photo, there's not much air bubble. A little beauty tip here, try to eliminate all air bubble that blocks the skin from absorbing the essence from the mask. The key is to make sure that it's airtight.

面膜的size 刚刚好我的脸型。 它的布质很薄，可是还瞒挺的，不会很难搞。有些面膜的布质太薄，很难打开，一不小心就会拉破。这款面膜就不会，而且因为它够薄，所以可以很贴。从照片上大家可以看到是很少气泡的。这里有个小贴示， 敷面膜的时候尽量弄掉那些气泡，因为那会阻碍皮肤吸收精华。

The mask is a little bit big for me at the bottom so I folded them up. 

Another thing which I love about this mask is that it's super cheap. I got it from Naruko's official website. They always have 50% off promotions or buy 1 free 1's. The retail price is RM59 for 10 pieces and currently it's still RM29.50 for 10 pieces. This means it's less than RM3 for one piece!! I don't think you can get any other sheet mask as cheap as this, and of course the quality is guaranteed. Go get it NOW!!!

还有就是这面膜是超便宜的。我是从牛尔亲研的官方网站上订购的。他们常会有半价还是买一送一的好康头哦！原本的售价是十片RM59，而现在呢，RM29.50就可以买到了。 每片都不过RM3！外面应该没有多少个商家可以提供到这么便宜又好用的产品了。赶快上网订购吧！

p/s: their courier service is really fast. They are based in Johor and it arrive at my doorstep in Klang Valley the next day after I settled the payment. 

With love,
