Sheet masks are one of the more interesting skincare items because you either love them or find them to be completely pointless. And for a long time, experts have been at odds about how useful they actually are.
The general consensus is that sheet masks are only as good as the ingredients and materials used to make them. Some don’t leave enough product on your face, while others are just downright bad for the environment.
Yeah, they definitely have their pros and cons. However, there are some good masks out there that provide a nice, healthy boost to your skin whenever you need it.
And no, they’re not those $2 masks you can pick up in bulk at your local Target. They’re your more high-end options that cost a pretty penny, but are totally worth it in the grand scheme of things. Check ’em out!
Loops Dream Sleep Hydrogel Face Mask, $35
Designed to be the finishing touch of your nightly skincare routine, this hydrogel sheet is the mask equivalent to slugging. If you don’t remember, slugging is slathering a thin (or thick!) layer of an occlusive product—like petroleum jelly or shea butter—on your skin to protect and heal it overnight.
It’s packed with all types of nourishing plant-based oils, fatty acids, and antioxidants to hydrate, plump, and restore skin that is super dull and dry from a hard day out. Just use it for 10 minutes, 2-3 times a week.
Bruun Beauty 24K Treatment Gold Leaf Face Mask, $62
Implementing real gold into your skincare routine? Now that’s fancy! And this 24K gold leaf sheet mask from Bruun is as fancy as it gets. It may be pretty to look at it, but it also packs a punch. You see, gold is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that’ll clear all impurities and leave your skin radiantly glowing.
The best part is that the gold isn’t a standalone character! The mask also relies on hyaluronic acid, squalane, and palmitoyl tripeptide to improve your skin’s texture by smoothing wrinkles and keeping it deeply hydrated.
Peach & Lily Original Glow Sheet Mask, $72
Ideally, we’d all like to be well-rested, but when you’re rippin’ and running and trying to be your best? Baby, you gotta put extra effort into looking your best! This Glow Sheet Mask is the ultimate “fake it til you make it” addition to your skincare routine because it brightens, firms, and smooths, all while catering to super sensitive skin.
It sounds unbelievable, but it’s not magic—just the camellia extract, ginseng. centella asiatica extract, and hyaluronic acid working together to fight the effects of premature aging. No biggie.
