I turned 41 earlier this year, but everyone presumes I’m 25. Along with a well honed skincare routine, I put this down to doing a sheet mask every day for 20 years. The best sheet masks keep my skin looking plump with hydration, along with many other benefits depending on the ingredients. I’ve tested well over 150 different masks, so have become pretty clued up on which are worth your time and money.
Consultant dermatologist, Professor Firas Al-Niaimi explains that “a sheet mask keeps the product in close contact with the skin for an extended period. This helps lock in moisture and prevents the serum or essence on the mask from evaporating too quickly. As a result, the skin stays more hydrated for longer and active ingredients have a better chance of penetrating the outer layers of the skin compared to a standard serum applied on its own.”
