Understanding Sheet Masks and How They Work
If you’re new to skincare altogether, the term sheet mask might be new to you, but we’ve got you covered!
A sheet mask just like the name suggests is a sheet skin face mask that has holes for your eyes, lips, and nose and is saturated with a Hyaluronic Acid serum that nourishes your skin. The sheet is made of cotton, fiber, pulp, and gel and it resembles an actual mask. It’s also known as a tissue mask because it looks like a tissue loaded with serum and holes.
Sheet masks are soaked in serums enriched with multiple active ingredients that are good for your skin health and can solve a wide variety of skin problems. Sheet masks are generally more effective for the skin because they are full of helpful key ingredients and stay on your face longer than other skincare treatments.
Sheet masks are also travel-friendly because each sheet mask comes in its individual packaging and can’t be used again so all you have to do is rip open the packet, apply it, and once you’re done nourishing your skin, discard it. Simple!
The ingredients in sheet masks can vary depending on their purpose. For instance, if your skin is dehydrated, you might want to buy a moisturizing mask that can provide deep hydration to your skin.
We have to admit that there’s no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to sheet masks because every problem has a different cause, so you first need to identify your skin problem, from dark spots to sensitive skin, and then move ahead to purchase a sheet mask that suits your skin type the best.

How to Use a Sheet Mask?
Nothing can be easier or more fun than applying a sheet mask and you can see that in this step-by-step guide:
- First, get rid of everything on your face including makeup, oil, dirt, or any kind of impurities. For the sheet mask to work effectively, you must have a clean face. Cleansing it with a good face cleanser can help maximize its effect.
- Once your face is clean, take out a sheet mask but be very gentle and careful with it. Sheet masks are drenched in serum so it might drip a little. Decide where you want to open and apply your mask if you don’t want to make a mess before you even put it on your face.
- Put it gently on your face following the cuts in the mask sheets — making sure it’s covering all of your face excluding your eyes, nostrils, and lips. If you see any air bubbles on your mask, smooth them out.
- Keep the mask on for approximately 15-20 minutes. Generally, sheet masks only require this long, but the timing also depends on the types of masks and brand so we strongly suggest reading the instructions carefully.
- After the allotted time, take off the mask and squeeze out any leftover serum from it before throwing it away. Then, gently massage your face in circles to help your skin absorb the serum.
Best Sheet Masks for Flawless Skin
Now that you know how to use a sheet mask, it’s time that we recommend a particularly safe and effective choice. Our Brightening Face Mask is designed keeping all skin essentials in mind. It provides a youthful and radiant skin with every use and ensures your skin looks plump, hydrated and as smooth as a baby’s skin.
Ingredients in the Sheet Masks
We don’t believe in unnecessary big words so we’ll tell you all about the ingredients that the best sheet masks should have. You can compare them to our Brightening Face Mask and see whether it’s the right choice for you or not!
- Hyaluronic Acid
One of the key ingredients found in the sheet masks is the beloved hyaluronic acid serum. It has anti-inflammatory properties that diminish fine lines on the skin and make it look young. This ingredient is also extremely important to add moisture to the skin. That’s why it’s one of the primary ingredients in our Brightening Face Mask as well.
- Ceramides
Our second primary ingredient is also one of the most important ingredients in sheet masks. It’s added to retain moisture in your skin so its appearance stays firm and plump. It also strengthens the skin barrier and partners with Hyaluronic Acid extremely well to create magic on your skin.
- Manuka Essential Oil or Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is easily found in the best sheet masks as it has antibacterial properties. While not exactly the same, Manuka essential oil is considered a better alternative to tea tree oil. It’s taken from different parts of the Leptospermum scoparium plant and works a lot better than tea tree oil. According to Manuka Lab, it’s 16x times stronger for acne than tea tree oil. Its antibacterial properties help prevent skin issues that are caused by bacteria. It also soothes itchy and dry skin, making it the perfect ingredient in our Brightening Face Mask.
Dos and Don'ts of Using the Best Sheet Masks
While applying a sheet mask is no tough job, some mistakes can still happen due to numerous poor habits and well, not following directions. Here are some dos and don’ts of using our Brightening Face Mask to ensure peak nourishment.
Dos of Using the Best Sheet Masks
- Always check the packet for excess serum before throwing it away. Since sheet masks are drenched in serum, there’s usually excess product in the packet that can still provide many benefits. Even if you have applied the sheet mask, make sure to get as much serum as you can in your hands and massage your face with it so you get full value for money.
- Follow your skincare routine as usual. Whether you use a sheet mask before or after your skincare routine, it’ll have a good impact on the overall result regardless. Cleansing, scrubbing, sunscreen, eye cream, and other related skincare products can help you gain maximum benefits from sheet masks. We suggest adding them in your nighttime routine so you can directly go to bed with all the nourishment locked in your skin for a good 8 hours!
Don’ts of Using the Best Sheet Masks
-
Don’t wash your face after removing the sheet mask. Washing your face afterwards means that you’ll get rid of all the goodness and applying a sheet mask for 20 minutes won’t mean anything if you waste the richness at the end! Keep the serum on your face and massage it gently so your skin can absorb it.
- Don’t ever let the sheet mask dry on your face. You might think keeping the sheet mask for as long as possible is a good thing but it’s not! Keep the mask on for 15-20 minutes at least before removing it. Keeping a dry sheet mask on your face can have the opposite effect as it might start to absorb moisture from your skin.
Conclusion
With this blog as a guiding light, we hope that you have a better understanding of sheet masks in general. The best part about sheet masks is you can use them as frequently as you like.
Using a sheet mask every day is not a big deal if you’re following the right process. Ideally, you should use it twice or thrice a week for optimal results.
