A sheet mask is a face-shaped, serum-soaked piece of cloth with holes for your mouth, eyes, and nose. Rather than applying a product and then rinsing it away, sheet masks for your face are infused with ingredients that are intended to soak into the skin. The physical mask also helps to prevent the evaporation of these ingredients as they sit on your skin. While a sheet mask shouldn’t replace a step in your skincare routine, it can be a great addition when your skin needs a boost or you’re feeling indulgent.
Face sheet masks can be formulated with a variety of ingredients, intended to hydrate, soften and brighten, as well as deliver anti-aging benefits, for younger, fresher-looking skin.
