How to Choose a good Sheet Mask?

July 28th, 2018

In recent years, skincare products are various and have different functions. Sheet masks have become one of the most popular products in the beauty industry due to the effect of celebrities. The Chinese actress, Fan Bingbing, is known that she wears masks anywhere and anytime. That’s her beauty secret – using sheet masks whenever you can. However, do you know how to choose a sheet mask that is good for you?

What is a sheet mask?

A sheet mask is a mask in a “sheet” form, which can be made of fiber, cotton, cellulose and some other materials. These sheets are soaked with nutritious liquids. You place it on your face by lining up the holes over your eyes and mouth.

How does a sheet mask help improve your skin?

After you apply a sheet mask for 15-20 minutes, your skin usually will look brighter, more hydrated, plumper and more bouncy because the nutritional ingredients in the mask will penetrate your surface of the skin and your skin cells will absorb the nutrition. Depending on the masks, the effects can be different. For instance, some masks are for hydration only and some masks are designed for skin brightening. The ingredients in the sheet masks can be varied. When you choose a sheet mask, you need to be cautious. Some cheap masks may evaporate quickly even before it gets soaked into the deeper layer of your skin.

Instead of using cosmetic masks, using medical-grade masks are usually more effective and safe. Here are two medical-grade sheet masks that we recommend you:
