How it's used
Applying a mask is almost always described with the verb 敷. It is common to hear people talk about the immediate effect of a mask by saying it makes the skin 潤 or 滑. Unlike some skincare products that are rubbed in, the physical act of laying the sheet on the face makes 敷 the only natural choice.
