At this point, nearly every celebrity on the Internet has posted a sheet mask selfie. The whole world seems to be obsessed. Born in Korea, these super-hydrating masks are cheap and easy to apply, making them a beauty essential for any girl on the go. But wait, it gets better.

Earlier this week a company called PNC International presented a new product at the International Beauty Expo in Korea. At first glance, it appeared to be a high-tech looking juicer but after the carrots, cucumbers and other veggies were inserted into the machine, a one-of-a-kind hydrogel mask popped out in place of juice.

“It’s like the beauty version of an Easy-Bake Oven, only infinitely cooler and more useful than those soggy brownies ever were,” Joyce Kong tells Refinery 29.

The machine allows you to customize your mask using fruits and veggies, which go in the same way they would a juicer – with peels removed – along with a tablet and some water. After five minutes, your mask is ready.

“While the mask that comes out is thicker than your average hydrogel, it gets thinner and thinner as it absorbs into the skin,” Kong explains. “Once removed, the leftover mask can be dissolved in water to form an essence.”

Pretty cool, right? Kong also suggests swapping out the water for milk or serums to create a truly unique and customizable mask.

Sadly, this DIY mask-maker currently isn’t available on any market, though the company expects to launch in Korea in 2016. Here’s hoping it makes it’s way to North America soon in the same way other popular Korean exports like donkey milk, snail cream and placenta have.
