4 Game-Changing Sheet Masks

What are Sheet Masks?

Sheet masks are sheets of fabric, usually made from certain types of paper, cotton or cellulose. These fabric sheets are soaked in hydrating ingredients and have eye, nose, and mouth holes, so they fit perfectly on your face!

Where Did They Come From?

We can thank South Korea for so many things! Samsung, K-Pop, and Kimchi are some of the more well-known Korean exports, but did you know that sheet masks also belong on this list? Like many other incredible beauty trends, sheet masks originated in South Korea. The skincare industry in South Korea is estimated to be 10 years more advanced than the rest of the world, so it's no surprise that they produce some of the best products out there! Korean skincare is the way to go if you are looking for effective skincare without the high price tag.

How do They Work?

So, how do sheet masks differ from traditional face masks? Well, it's all about the sheet itself, which creates a physical barrier on the skin preventing the mask's ingredients from evaporating into the air. That means all of the hydrating goodness actually makes it into the skin, so it maximizes your results.

Why Should I use a Sheet Mask?

There are many benefits that sheet masks have to offer. Let's have a look at a few!

#1 - They are Easy to Use

Compared to traditional masks, sheet masks are incredibly easy to use. Just pull the mask out of the packet and spread the sheet directly onto the face. Since they are rinse-free products, you will also save a bit of time there.

#2 - They are Convenient

Sheet masks can be used anywhere and everywhere! Whether you're at home binging a Netflix series or in need of deep hydration on a flight, sheet masks are a convenient, mess-free skincare solution.

#3 - They're Hygenic

Sheet masks come in a one-time use, individual packets. This means there is no chance of bacteria getting in and contaminating the product. Also, when applying a sheet mask, you don't need to touch your skin as much, reducing the risk of spreading bacteria.

#4 - They are Incredibly Hydrating!

Sheet masks usually contain a higher concentration of hydrating ingredients than other masks. The fabric sheet itself also locks the hydrating ingredients into the skin and prevents them from evaporating.

What’s in Sheet Masks?

The main ingredient in most sheet masks is water, which is a carrier for other ingredients. Since you can get sheet masks for multiple skin concerns, the other ingredients vary. Here are a few examples of some popular sheet mask ingredients:

For Dry Skin

Hyaluronic Acid

One of the best possible ingredients for dry or dehydrated skin, Hyaluronic Acid deeply moisturizes and plumps the skin. The fantastic thing about Hyaluronic Acid is that it can hold 100 times its weight in water which drenches the deeper layers of the skin in pure hydration.

For Brightening

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an all-time classic ingredient in many skincare products, from cleansers to moisturizers. Its ability to increase skin cell regeneration means it's perfect for brightening the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and protecting the skin from environmental damage.

For Sensitive Skin

Aloe Vera

This ingredient has been used for moisturizing and soothing the skin for centuries! Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Aloe Vera is excellent for calming sensitive skin. It also adds a layer of protection to the skin and helps it retain moisture.

For Oily & Acne Prone Skin

Charcoal

Charcoal is very effective at absorbing oil, preventing blackheads, and deep cleansing the pores. If you suffer from oily skin, acne or blackheads, look for a sheet mask with Charcoal! It also has antibacterial properties and helps draw impurities out of the skin. Ready to meet our game-changing sheet masks? Here we go!
