If you’re not in the know of a sheet mask by now, it’s basically a face cutout that has been soaked in serum. While our description sounds kind of primitive, let us be the ones to tell you that it delivers a massive load of extra goodness to your face (hence, the title of the best sheet masks for every skin type) that goes beyond what you can normally do from gliding, rubbing or smearing.
We’d like you think of it as the step to reboot your skin or something you do as part of your wind down routine. Before you decide to do it everyday, take a good look in the mirror first.
Are you acne prone? Then the answer would be no as it can sometimes aggravate your acne because it’s occlusive; just do it once a week. In fact, don’t do it everyday because the overdose of hydration causes the top layer of your dermis to weaken, which leads to irritation.
While there are literally hundreds of options for every person, problem and price point, we’ve listed seven of our favourites with one commonality amongst them — they’re not the flimsy paper skin that evaporates instantly upon application.
