Choosing the best face masks for your skin. Which brand to choose?

Sheet masks are making a sensation in the cosmetics industry, but for some they are still unfamiliar territory compared to traditional face masks. In this article we will take a look behind the scenes and introduce you to these beautifying helpers.

Why should face masks be part of your beauty routine?

Sheet masks come from the eclectic world of Korean cosmetics and have become one of the hottest trends worldwide. You do not want to be left behind! Yes, you may look a little crazy when you put them on your face, but that's just the fun! Beautification shouldn't be too serious in the first place, right?

‍

In fact, these types of face masks are really effective, both for dealing with specific skin problems that have appeared suddenly and simply as an adjunct to skin care. They can be used without spending a lot of time (and money!) in the spa studio or beauty salon.

‍

There are various face masks in shape, size and formula - gel, clay, peeling… the list goes on. And here are sheet masks on our agenda now. But why are they so special? Because they are very easy to use. No more need for spatulas, no more dirty fingers, no more dosage errors - they are applied in seconds without effort and the results are fantastic! 

‍

And precisely because they are so comfortable (not to mention light and compact), they are perfect for the road. You no longer have an excuse to give up caring for your skin while travelling, whether in a hotel after a long flight or during the flight itself.

How to choose the best face sheet mask for your skin type?

Compared to other types of masks, such as clay and cream, sheet masks are an intelligent and convenient way to provide your skin with many moisturizing and beautifying ingredients. Intended for easy use, sheet masks are cut in the shape of the face and soaked in a liquid formula. Because paper fibers are ultra-absorbent, they prevent moisture from evaporating, so your skin gets even more of the beneficial ingredients every time you wear the mask.

‍

So, how can you choose the best face sheet mask for your skin type? Below are the factors to consider. 

Define your skin type

Knowing your skin type is essential for healthy, flawless skin. Knowing your skin type allows you to choose the right products and customize the skin care regimen that will work best for you. The main skin types to consider include dry, oily, combination, normal, acne-prone, and sensitive.

Do you need it for hydration, cleaning, or anything else?

Cleaning is a must if you want to achieve maximum results with the face sheet mask. The idea of ​​the sheet mask is to beautify your skin by providing it with the necessary hydration and all the beautifying super ingredients absorbed by the fibers of the mask. If there is any barrier between the surface of the skin and the mask, it can hinder this process, so there should be no makeup on your face prior to using the mask. Cleansed and dried skin is a condition that the face sheet masks take action against.

Read about the ingredients

Whether designed for young, mature, dry, or oily skin, to hydrate it, or to fight wrinkles, acne, or blemishes, all skin care cosmetics must contain a basic set of nutrients. The better the combination of vitamins, antioxidants, oils, and acids, the more youthful the appearance.

‍

Quality skin care ingredients, selected to suit your specific skin type and possible skin problems, can protect your face from harmful external influences such as the sun, hot or cold climates, as well as polluted air. They can also help soothe irritated skin, restore its health and prevent the development of skin diseases.

Try different types of face masks

There are different types of face masks on the market, each with its own specifics of use. What they have in common is that they improve the overall condition of the skin and nourish it in depth. Here are the main types of face masks: 

‍

• creamy face mask 
• foaming face mask 
• sheet face mask 
• mud/gel face mask 

Choose the one that matches your skin better

There are three main types of sheet masks: hydrating, purifying and anti-aging. 

‍

The anti-aging sheet masks sold on the market are primarily based on a collagen formula. With age, collagen in our skin breaks down. Hydrolyzed collagen increases skin elasticity while increasing the density of collagen fibers.

‍

Hydrating sheet masks are based on a hyaluronic acid formula. Hyaluronic acid helps keep skin vibrant. Because it can absorb large amounts of water, the skin remains moisturized for a long period of time. The purifying sheet mask has anti-inflammatory action and helps soothe the skin. Its antiseptic properties reduce the oiliness of the skin without over-drying it. 

‍

Know your skin type and make sure to choose a sheet mask with the right benefits in order to treat your skin properly.
