If you’re searching for a Korean wash off mask, then you should try House of Dohwa. House of Dohwa uses traditional skincare ingredients, like Rice Bran, with the goal of sharing traditional Korean skincare practices with the world. These traditional ingredients are what make House of Dohwa masks so special and worth trying. Continue reading for a House of Dohwa review of their popular wash off masks.
House of Dohwa White Rice Wash Off Mask
The House of Dohwa White Rice Wash Off Mask is the brand’s signature and most popular mask—for a reason! This rice mask will give you brighter, softer, and healthier skin and is a must-try for K-beauty enthusiasts who love Rice in skincare.
Key Ingredient: Rice Bran Extract
The House of Dowha White Rice Wash Off Mask is enriched with a blend of nine types of Korean Rice Extracts. The names of the Rice Bran are: Katuri Chalk, Gwolnado, Silk Chalk, Nami, Danduna, Korean Don Glutinous Rice, Red Tea Narak, Sukna, Heukgang
Rice Extract contains over 100 types of antioxidants, meaning it offers many benefits to the skin. That’s why it was traditionally used in Korean beauty and still continues to be a popular ingredient in modern K-beauty.
Some of the many benefits of Rice Extract include hydrating, skin softening, anti-aging, brightening, and oil balancing
Texture & Experience
The mask feels creamy and smells like natural grains. It feels smooth and soft when you apply it but you can also feel some powder-like grains. These soft grains work to gently exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal a more radiant complexion.
The natural scent of the grain makes the experience very pleasant and relaxing. It might even make some people want to eat the product! While you leave the product on the skin, the cream texture becomes pasty in texture but it doesn’t harden like a clay mask. It stays moist—but it’s not wet either; so, you don’t have to worry about accidentally getting wet product everywhere.
The mask is easy to wash off and afterward your skin will feel softer and appear brighter and healthier.
House of Dohwa Pumpkin Wash Off Mask
The House of Dohwa Pumpkin Wash Off Mask will add a healthy glow to dehydrated or sensitive skin. If you don’t like creamy or clay-like wash off masks, this one’s for you!
Key Ingredient: Korean Pumpkin Extract
Pumpkin is an ingredient that’s known for smoothing out rough texture due to the gently exfoliating properties of Pumpkin enzymes. It’s also moisturizing, brightening, firming, and nourishing as it’s rich in antioxidants and nutrients.
However, instead of the typical Pumpkin we usually think of, this mask contains locally harvested Korean Pumpkin. Not only that, the formula also contains Ginger Root, Water Lily, and Rice Bran Extracts as well. Combined with the benefits of Korean Pumpkin, this wash off mask will give you smoother skin with a noticeable glow.
Texture & Experience
Although this mask also contains Rice Bran Extract, the texture is not creamy. Instead, it’s more of a bouncy gel-cream texture that’s light and smooth. It’s not sticky at all.
The gel texture gives skin a cooling effect which is helpful for overheated skin. The scent is natural and not very noticeable.
The combination of skin smoothing Korean Pumpkin nourishing Rice Extract, and brightening Ginger Root helps rejuvenate your complexion. It’s very easy to wash the product off and you’ll notice plump, dewy skin right away!
House of Dohwa Mung Bean Wash Off Mask
If you want oil control without the potential harshness of a clay mask, the House of Dohwa Mung Bean Wash Off Mask is the mask for you. Clay masks were originally the skincare go-to for blackhead and oil control. However, some clay masks have the potential to irritate your skin since they harden and dry out your skin. That’s why this mask is a great alternative.
Key Ingredient: Mung Bean
Mung Bean is a great skincare ingredient for those with oily skin and those who want to target enlarged pores. This is because it’s great at drawing out excess sebum and balances the skin’s oil levels. Not only that, Mung Bean helps soothe redness and cools stressed and overheated skin.
The Mung Bean in this mask is formulated with Kaolin Clay. Kaolin Clay is gentle and absorbs excess sebum from pores which helps prevent acne and enlarged pores. The combination of Mung Bean and Kaolin Clay in this mask helps to unclog pores and draw out impurities so you can achieve tighter looking pores and smoother skin.
Texture & Experience
This mask feels similar in texture to the Rice mask. It’s creamy but a bit thicker and feels like a mud mask on the skin. You can feel it hardening slightly like a clay mask but it doesn’t harden all the way.
There’s a natural scent that smells a bit nutty and plant-like. Like all of House of Dohwa masks, this mask washes off easily. Your skin feels refreshed and clear after. Given its oil controlling and soothing properties, this mask is also recommended for those with oily/acne-prone skin.
House of Dohwa Review
