Quench your skin's thirst with produce-inspired facials.

By Erika Stalder, Self
Where would we be without K-beauty? The industry has single-handedly made applying a face mask so damned easy, thanks to sheet masks. But now, say hello to slice masks, the latest in mask innovation and maybe the most Instagrammable version yet.

Slice
masks are just sheet masks cut into round disks and made to look like
slices of cucumber, strawberry, kiwi, tulip, rose, and other types of
produce and flowers.
[post_ads]As Marie Claire UK reports, each slice mask pack made by K-beauty brand Kocostar contains 12 round disks, and there are various formulas available aimed at targeting different skin concerns. For example, watermelon and cucumber versions are designed for hydrating skin. Lemon slices help brighten complexions, and the tomato formulation is geared to improve elasticity.

Unlike traditional sheet
masks, these disks can be used as spot treatments for the face—or
anywhere on the body. But the real hype comes from their designs. Once
you dot them on, it’s hard not to look like an IRL Snapchat filter (or resist at least posting a photo to Instagram).
Korean beauty blogger Sarah Oh
has gotten in on the action, and couldn't help but compare the
company’s sunflower slice mask to a certain leopard Snapchat filter.
Meanwhile, beauty bloggers like Chloe Morello and Nina Vee also posted slice mask images on social media and racked up the inevitable likes.

Sure,
you can have an at-home spa night and use real sliced cucumber to
refresh your skin, but why waste the produce? We’d be happy to go faux
by grabbing slice masks fresh from the fridge to cool our complexions
instead.
