Whenever someone asks me for my best skincare advice, my answer tends to be the same: use a face mask every single day. It’s something I’ve been religiously practising for the last four-and-a-half years and it has seriously made a difference to my complexion. There are many types of masks out there – mud packs, sleeping masks, sheet masks and the like, but I tend to gravitate towards sheet masks on most days. Sheet masks are pampering, hydrating treats for my combination skin and they always leave my mien soft and glowing after. Having been a major mask addict for a while now, here are my top seven recommendations for the best sheet masks to try.
Talk about a luxurious experience. Each sheet of this face-and-neck mask is infused with 30ml of serum to nourish and hydrate skin. The key ingredient in the formula is Harungana plant extract that’s supposed to help improve skin tone and density. Each use results in less visible fine lines, plus this comes with special slots that you can hook over your ears to hold the mask in place – no dripping, no sliding.
Eaoron is an organic skincare brand from Australia that prides itself on harnessing the power of natural, plant-based ingredients. Chockfull of botanical oils, collagen extract and hyaluronic acid, this intensely hydrating mask will give your skin a moisture boost to keep your complexion supple and firm.
The packaging of this might be off-putting to those who can’t read mandarin, but this is actually my go-to sheet mask for its affordable price point and efficacy. Each sheet is doused in hydrating ingredients to deeply moisturise and nourish parched skin. The mask adheres well, doesn’t feel sticky and leaves my complexion more radiant after each use.
This is my Holy Grail brightening face mask and is a hot favourite among the beauty writers and editors in the office. The masks are made of a bio-cellulose material that’s said to enhance your skin’s absorption of the essence. Every use guarantees a firmer, deeply hydrated and more luminous complexion. I always use this the night before big events like weddings and find that I hardly need to use any base makeup the next morning.
This silky mask is saturated with the goodness of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs like yu zhu (Solomon’s seal) and goji berries. The essence contains high levels of vitamin A and amino acids to quell inflammation and moisturise skin.
The key ingredients in this silky mask are calcium derivatives and botanical extracts to speed up your skin’s natural skin renewal process. This helps to minimise the appearance of pores while imbuing skin with a healthy glow.
Made with nano-grade organic fibres, this bio-cellulose mask fits snugly on skin so that the essence can penetrate deeper for maximum efficacy. The key actives work together to fight the signs of premature ageing so that you’ll have a firmer and smoother complexion after each use.
