In case you're not familiar with them, sheet masks are serum-soaked fabric masks that you place on your face and leave on for, well, about as long as you want. I tend to leave them on until they start to dry out because why not? I want my money's worth.
Sheet masks are massive in South Korea and they're starting to pop up in the West more and more. But why does everyone love them so much? Well, the sheet locks in the goodness so your skin can absorb it more effectively, plus they're really convinient especially if you're travelling. When you remove the mask, don't wash your face; instead, massage the left over product into your skin as well as the excess serum in the pouch. You could even keep that to use as a your serum over the next day or so but whatever you do, don't waste it.
There are so many different types available all tackling different concerns so take your pick, but these are some of our favourites to help get you started.
1. Masque Bar Anti-Wrinkle Sheet Mask, £9.99 for three
Never too soon to start, right?
2. Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask, 99p for one
Probably the cheapest out there so it's definitely worth a go.
3. Tony Moly I'm Real Red Wine Facemask, £6 for one
This is especially formulated for troubled skin but take your pick from the Tony Moly I'm Real range.
4. Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask, £19.99 for four
Full of hyaluronic acid for big time hydration.
5. Innisfree It's Real Sheet Masks, £11.46 for 15
Known for their focus on botanicals, you can't go wrong with Innisfree. They have a massive range of sheet masks from rose (brightening and smoothing), pomegranate (radiance and firming) to kiwi (clearing and moisturising) so buying this pack means you can try them and pick your favourite.
6. The Face Shop Character Mask, £2 for one
These look like actual masks so they're even more fun.
7. Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask, £2.50 for one
Putting snail slime and bee venom on your face might sound scary but they're basically wonder ingredients that will hydrate and help to even out skin tone simultaneously.
8. Skin Food Sheet Masks, £11.06 for 10
10 sheet masks might seem a bit OTT but cost per mask makes this a bargain, plus you get to try the whole range. My favourite is the tomato version for it's brightening effects.
9. Starskin Kelp Leaf Detox Mask Face MASK, £12.50 for one
This is a tiny bit different to the rest because it's made from sea kelp leaves. It helps to even out the skin tone, moisturise and reduce redness.
