Sheet masks are a HUGE trend right now in the skincare world… and one of my favorites!
Here’s why….
Pull them out of the packaging, stick them on your face until it’s time to remove them, then they’re gone and in the garbage in less than two seconds…. perfect for a quick hydration boost when you don’t have time for a full masking process
Since you’re able to get them in formulas, you can find something that works for you. Some are infused with retinal or collagen to promote the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and are perfect for aging skin! Others have aloe and other ingredients known to norish and moisturize the skin, these are good for dry skin or just to use after you’ve been in the sun.
I have yet to remove a sheet mask and feel like my face was going to crack off because it’s too dry…..
Most sheet masks are packed full of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, each usually with their own set of specific benefits to your skin.
A few things to know about sheet masks before going out and grabbing your own…
Since the mask creates another layer over the skin, it causes the skin to heat subjecting it to an increased production of bacteria. If you have oily AND very acne prone you should do a patch test on your cheek three days before using the full mask to ensure you won’t breakout after you apply the full thing.
They get their name because it looks like a Jason mask 9/10.. however the sheets are actually soaked in a serum-based formula that doesn’t exfoliate or cleanse deeply.
…but not every face shape is the same 🤷🏼♀️. I often find myself trimming some off of the bottom or having too little on the sides. Usually applying the mask from the top of the forehead and working your way down (making sure your eyes line up in the holes) is the easiest way of tackling the application process.
I don’t want to get into brands today, because there are SO many. However, if there’s a mask you LOVE, I want to try it. Leave it in the comments, please!
