I always thought my skin type was dry skin until I visited the esthetician and learned it was, in fact, combination/oily. The reason why I thought it was dry is that it lacked hydration and was just dehydrated. Dry skin lacks natural skin oil but dehydrated skin lacks hydration. Once I learned that I made sure to add hydrating products to my skincare routine. Every now and then my skin needs a little extra hydration, so I use an overnight mask. I've been alternating between Lumene and Laneige gel masks. Both products are similar so I've used them both, but I can't seem to pick between the two. See the details and tell us what you think, SAVE or SPLURGE.

Have you tried these two products? Which do you prefer? I actually like them both but Laneige leaves my skin a little more supple. The Lumene doubles as an instant and overnight mask, sometimes I need an instant hydration boost. The one thing that I don't like about the Lumene is the fragrance. I have super sensitive skin and it can irritate my skin. So for that reason I will stick to the Laneige.
