Sheet Masks Are Magic Masks

Wash face, moisturize it and then apply makeup. That’s it! Skin care is simple, right?

There’s nothing wrong with a basic skin care routine, especially if it’s working. But if you’re one of the millions of beauties plagued by skin conditions from acne to redness, you may be looking for a skin care boost. And unfortunately, professional skin care procedures, such as facials, can be pricey.

This is where face sheet masks come in, offering intense skin treatment for a fraction of the cost.

The “magic” behind face masks is simple. The ingredients from a face mask are kept longer in contact with your skin because of the occlusion phenomenon of the mask on your skin. The mask traps the moisture or ingredient in the skin and creates film that helps to hydrate, moisturize or exfoliate the skin depending on the ingredients used.

How to choose a face sheet mask?

There are thousands of options out there so just because your favorite Instagram model uses one mask doesn’t mean it’ll work for you.

Start with what kind of mask you’d like. Some types are as follows::

Overnight masks that are hydrating and may contain hyaluronic acid, which are ideal for mature or extremely dry skin.

Clay, sulfur or mud masks can soak up oil and have a slight exfoliating effect.

Sheet masks containing antioxidants are hydrating if you store them in the fridge.

Anti-inflammatory Benefits of face sheet masks:

The benefit of a face mask depends on its ingredients. Some common skin issues and the ingredients that may address them include:

Acne: Salicylic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids.

Fine lines and wrinkles: Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and resveratrol; ferulic acid or retinoids such as retinols and retrinaldehydes; and humectants such as hyaluronic acid.

Redness (rosacea): Niacinamide.

Dark spots and pigmentation: Kojic acid, retinoids, and vitamin C.

Once you find a mask that works for you, work it into your skin care routine, says Dr. Ditre. Masks should be applied after serum but before moisturizer. If you want to use it at night, use it instead of your nighttime moisturizer.
