You’re just 15 minutes of feel-good away from revealing your skin’s natural glow, so it’s time to get your know on about what a sheet mask is, and why we should use one.
“Your face is pretty unique, so don’t be afraid to trim your sheet mask for a more perfect fit.”
So what is a sheet mask exactly?
It might seem like a new skincare craze, but believe us when we say this is no fad. The sheet mask has been part of Asian skincare routines for years, making it their best-kept beauty secret yet—until now, that is! A sheet mask is a face-shaped fabric which is enriched with kind ingredients like Vitamin B5, botanicals such as Agave, minerals like Clay, and natural oils such as Jojoba. The mask cleverly infuses the ingredients into the skin while you kick back for a few minutes of bliss, leaving skin feeling soothed, brightened and renewed when you peel it away.

Why should we use a sheet mask?
When life on the go is all bright lights and late nights, you and your skin go through a lot. Enter: the sheet mask. You can use it as a face mask for dry skin or a face mask for oily skin. It helps reset your skin, leaving you feeling ready to take on tomorrow’s adventures afresh.
Sheet masks can help hydrate, soothe and de-stress tired, irritated skin, and can even help protect your skin from pollution too. When you've had your fix of fun, a sheet face mask whisks you away to your happy place for 15 minutes of me time.

How to apply a sheet mask
The real question here is how will you wear yours because, aside from a few simple application tips, the fun thing about sheet masks is that anything goes. Just press it gently onto clean, dry skin to help all that goodness sink in, and try to smooth it as evenly as possible so it can get on with doing its thing—while you get on with yours!
So, whether that’s getting your zen on in downward dog while de-stressing your skin, washing the city out of your skin at the end of a big weekend, or moisturising mid-flight to ready your skin for the arrivals hall (looking good, girl!), the sheet mask is what you make it, so make it your own. When your 15 minutes are up, massage the serum into your skin to make the most of all those skin-loving ingredients, or simply wipe away any remaining residue with a cotton pad to reveal your new-found glow!
