Korean Sheet Mask 101

Here's everything you need to know about the face masks taking over beauty cabinets around the world!

Lock In Hydration

Sheet masks work by creating an “occlusive barrier” that seals the ingredients in the mask into your skin. They offer hydration and a variety of skin-boosting benefits in a targeted 30 minute treatment.

Whether you’re travelling long distance, sitting in an air-conditioned or heated office, or just generally suffering from lacklustre skin, regular sheet masking helps boost the texture, hydration and tone of your skin.

Everyone Can Use Them

No matter your skin type or skin troubles, there is a sheet mask just for you.

• Dry skin loves sheet masks soaked in propolis and honey
• Acne prone skin can benefit from tea tree
• Ageing skin loves collagen
• Dehydrated skin works well with hyaluronic acid.

There are even sheet masks for your feet and hands!
