Living in the era of the sheet mask, how do you know which is right and beneficial for your skin? I’ve rounded up my favorite picks for all skin types that have been my personal favorites for the past year. Surprisingly enough, I JUST started using sheet masks about 6 months ago and have completely fallen in love. They are so easy to throw on and lounge around or even get work done around the house while still getting an amazing facial. I’ve tested out hundreds at this point and have only found a handful that I’ve actually seen great results with.
I’m aware some of y’all don’t know what sheet masks are, so let me give you a little info. before we dive in. A sheet mask is a face-shaped fabric that is soaked in nutritious solutions known as setup. There isn’t only one type of sheet mask either. The sheets can be made up of paper, fibers, gels or even foil. Sheet masks come individually packaged so they can be used once and then thrown away. They are one of the fastest, most convenient ways for your skin to get an overload of great products all at once without having to pay for an actual facial.
I know we all aspire to have skin like when we were in our teens and twenties without spending thousands of dollars. These masks are the next best thing that show proven results, sometimes after just 1 use!
Click any of the images below to shop each mask. I have also listed the benefits below this collage.
Want a closer look at what each mask does? I have listed out each one below from left to right wit their benefits and what the specifically can do for your skin.
1. Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask – This sheet mask reduces wrinkles, smoothes, brightens, lifts and hydrates exactly where your skin uniquely needs it the most for dramatic facial results now and in the future. It features a bio-mimetic vector delivery system, which allows for a prolonged release of actives, and powers them into the epidermis. The dry textile mask is imprinted with active ingredients, unlike most traditional sheet masks that are water and glycerin. Vitamin B3 brightens tone and revives the skin’s glow; a plant stem cell matrix lifts the skin and helps to decrease wrinkles; and crocus bulb extract redensifies the skin to support reconstruction and encourage collagen and elastin production.
2. SHISEIDO Triple Mask Set – Benefiance Pure Retinol Intensive Face Mask: a concentrated treatment sheet mask that encourages skin’s natural recovery function and infuses skin with hydrating moisture to improve treatment.
– Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask: quick, concentrated treatment sheets that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, even with just one application.
– White Lucent Power Brightening Mask: a powerful brightening mask inspired by iontophoresis, a beauty treatment that saturates skin with a generous amount of beneficial ingredients to target spots and discoloration, soothes damaged skin with moisture, leaving it bright, refreshed and moisturized.
3. Too Cool For School Egg Cream Mask – This mask is a variation of the original Egg Cream Mask that is designed to target oily skin and enlarged pores. The ultra-soft microfiber sheet is infused with albumen (egg white extract), which diminishes the look of pores, while vinegar extract clarifies in as little as 20 minutes.
4. Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle 24k Gold Intense Wrinkle Sheet Mask – The mask is designed to adhere to the shape of your face, infusing your skin with a powerful blend of 18 age-fighting neuropeptides and peptides, pure 24k-gold and hyaluronic acid. The appearance of the six most stubborn deep wrinkle and expression lines are reduced, and skin is comforted and soothed. It also increases hydration levels in your skin by drawing and retaining water from moisture in the air. Your skin is instantly energized and illuminated and dull, dry skin is replenished.
5. Oh K Panda Mask & the Emoji Mask – If you’re feeling silly, these are a fun options and make amazing gifts!
6. Dr. Jart Hydration Lover Rubber Mask – The two-step system includes a highly concentrated ampoule serum and a rubber mask that was developed to hydrate and soothe the skin for an instant pick-me-up. The hydrating rubber mask wraps the skin to prevent active ingredients from evaporating, allowing for more complete penetration to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines and pores and make skin look supple and dewy. The rubber mask is derived from algae and lowers skin temperature to cool and calm. The lipophilic and hydrophilic actives cling to moisture in the skin to maximize benefits. Phyto Keratin Complex, a botanical protein, provides moisturizing benefits to improve water retention.
7. SULWHASOO First Care Activating Sheet Mask – It contains the brand’s proprietary ingredient complex, JAUM Balancing Complex™, which features five herbs carefully selected from over 3,000 herbal ingredients to help restore skin’s balance of vitality, resilience, clarity, regeneration and nourishment, improving skin’s natural radiance and boosting the efficacies of the entire skin care regimen that follows.
8. Talika Bio Enzymes Mask After Sun – TALIKA Bio Enzymes Mask After-Sun promotes the natural rehydration and soothing of skin damaged by sun, leaving it plumped and smooth with a delicate sensation of freshness and cooling. It contains bio-cellulose, which has second skin-like properties and ensures optimum penetration of active ingredients for a long-lasting effect.
9. Patchology Smart Mud Sheet Mask – It eliminates environmental toxins, dirt and dullness in one clean step. Mineral-rich volcanic ash combines with the brand’s innovative FlexMasque™ Technology and gets the purifying properties of mud right where you want them and not where you don’t.
10. Tony Moly Pomegranate Sheet Mask – My personal FAVE!! Formulated with pomegranate extract and an enriched water-based essence that provides hydration while promoting elasticity for your skin. No parabens, talc, benzophenone, or triethanolamine included. Subtle fragrance and thicker cotton mask make for a luxurious experience. Absorbs into the skin very smoothly while simultaneously supplying water and oil.
11. Dermovia Rose Water Compression Face Mask – This facial treatment features compression technology to radically repair and renew your skin. Formulated specifically to replenish and boost hydration to an optimal level, this mask helps eliminate the appearance of dehydrated and dull-looking skin. A powerful moisturizing agent, pure rose essence, leaves the skin visibly smooth and glowing, while hydrolyzed collagen and hyaluronic acid work together to combat aging, improve rough skin texture and increase moisture retention to effectively revitalize stressed skin.
12. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Recovery Power Foil Mask – A high-performance, foil-backed sheet creates a protective barrier on your skin, which allows the brand’s potent technologies to penetrate fast and deep within the skin’s surface and helps lock in moisture. Each treatment delivers a surge of liquid revitalization, immersing skin in a formula that contains hyaluronic acid and ChronoluxCB™ Technology.
13. Lancome Youth Activating Second Skin Mask – Worth EVERY penny! This facial sheet mask delivers a half bottle of Génifique Serum in a single application. Combining Lancôme’s patented Génifique complex and expertise in bio-cellulose technology, it treats your skin to a new kind of indulgence. The texture adheres to the contours of your face, almost like a second skin, for a harmonious and intense infusion of ingredients. Skin looks lit from within, refined, and re-plumped. The potent ingredients restore smoother, more radiant skin, leaving a cushiony soft and smooth feeling.
14. Boscia Oil Deep Hydration Hydrogel Mask – This 100 percent hydrogel mask treats skin to its antiaging botanical blend of cold-pressed tsubaki (camellia) oil, vitamin E, and serine, which deliver ultimate hydration to the complexion. It leaves skin smoother, softer, and more supple, sealing-in hydration without no evaporation, allowing for complete absorption of the mask’s maximum benefits.
15. Dermovia Black Bamboo Charcoal Peel Off Mask – The naturally blended Peel Paste is made with bamboo charcoal which is known for its ability to deep cleanse and pull skin debris out from the pores to prevent breakouts, heal blemishes and keep skin healthy and shine-free. In addition, aloe vera aids in the skin purification process, while chamomile helps to soothe. The gentle, non-drying and pH-balanced formula will not compromise, upset or irritate the skin as it deeply purges and unclogs pores, removing dead skin cells and excess oil to reveal a vibrant, smooth and glowing complexion.
16. Skinfood Marine Food Gel Mask – A gel mask containing jellyfish extract and collagen that help aid dry, dehydrated skin. Jellyfish extracts help aid the quick absorption of collagen and are made up of 94-98% water and gelatin. This hydro-gel mask sheet delivers nutrients and minerals from the ocean to nourish skin and provides deep, long-lasting hydration.
