Marrying the benefits of a mask and moisturiser, they help with everything from hydration to sensitivity and are proven to contain a number of potent ingredients without risk of irritation. Here, we reveal our favourites and how to use them correctly… [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/21668) Originating from Korea, multiple beauty brands in the Far East have utilised pastes with ingredients like Cica, to strengthen the skin barrier and restore a youthful bounce, for years. Full of radiance-boosting ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and prebiotics, pastes work to reduce the appearance of pores, promote brightness and soothe irritation, all without resorting to a ten-step routine. But their complexion-boosting credentials don’t stop there.
