And we just got the inside scoop. Despite these three markets catering to girls thousands of miles apart, there is evident crossover in the skincare products we are choosing to use. Us girls are always looking for what next to add to our beauty regime, and these reports revealed just that.

Masks have been trending in Japan for the last five years, and thank goodness these amusing and beneficial applicants have become a favorite amongst the U.S. and France.

Charcoal Face Mask
Charcoal masksare the third ranked by volume of searches in the U.S., and has shown a 274% growth. We usually find charcoal in our barbeque pit or disinfectant supplies, which is perhaps why we are so intrigued by putting this black goop on our face. If you are looking for a deep exfoliation and blackhead exterminator, a charcoal mask will do the trick.
Peel-Off Face Mask
As gross as it sounds, there’s no denying that we get satisfaction from peeling away our impurities, and seeing the proof in a peel-off face mask. This process removes a layer of skin, and exposes one that is smooth and luminous. Plus, peel-off masks are packed with nourishing ingredients that exude healthy vitamins and antioxidants in your skin. With a 117% growth in the U.S. and 91% in France, these masks have surely brought the hype.
