the best cloth face masks according to customer reviews

Acting like inexpensive mini face masks, sheet masks give skin intense hydration, elasticity, and brightening effects in less than half an hour! Sheet masks can vary in function, materials, and ingredients. Most cotton sheets are infused with essences containing nourishing active ingredients ranging from tea tree to fight acne and ceramide to lock in moisture. The serum is kept from evaporating in a sheet mask that locks in all the moisture and protects it from exposure to the air. In such close contact with the skin, the essence causes antioxidants and vitamins to penetrate the top layer of the skin more efficiently than if the essence were applied without a protective barrier, such as a sheet mask.

What is a sheet mask

A sheet mask is a face-shaped sheet of tissue soaked in a nutrient solution called serum. The sheet is made up of diverse materials including paper, fibers or gel types. These sheet masks are different from face masks (paste type) that you only need to apply, remove or pat in extra serum instead of washing the mask after applying and applying other skin care products. The sheet mask is usually used once and is individually packaged making them quick, convenient and easy to use.

Benefits of using sheet face masks

They bring fast effects regarding skin improvement. The serum is loaded with various vitamins and minerals and will not dry out the skin compared to a face mask type paste. The fabric on your face helps the serum to absorb into the skin a little longer. Some of the manufacturers also claim to brighten and firm your skin. Basically, sheet masks are inexpensive compared to going to a spa, convenient, easy to apply, and bring a glowing effect to your skin.

There is a leaf completely soaked in a concentrated serum that is made up of many beneficial ingredients for the skin, such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins. These ingredients are in the aqueous phase in dissolved form. The sheet prevents the rapid evaporation of the aqueous phase and prolongs the duration of the ingredients needed to penetrate deep into the skin. This results in sheet masks surpassing the effects of traditional serum skin care even when applied once.

Composition of sheet face masks

Depending on what function the mask wants to perform, the serum contains various ingredients that are commonly used, such as aloe vera and vitamin C, to more unusual ones, such as pearls, snail extract and seaweed.

Also, to protect against bacteria/fungus contamination, most sheet masks contain chemical preservatives like parabens.

Various types of fabric are used in fabric masks.

The four most used materials, ranked from worst to best:

* Non-woven fibers – inexpensive, difficult mobility, low ability to deliver serum to the skin

* Cotton – Inexpensive, difficult mobility, low capacity to deliver serum into the skin

* Hydrogel – a little expensive, excellent absorption system, gel-like consistency, two separate parts (top and bottom) to apply on the face, difficult mobility, fits well with the shape of the face

* Bio-cellulose is an expensive, all-natural material, adheres well to the skin, has better absorption properties, comfortable mobility.

How to use a sheet face mask

wash your face

Wash your face before putting on the mask so your skin is better equipped to absorb the mask. Create a lather with a cleanser of your choice and warm water and rub it into your skin. Then rinse it off with fresh water and pat your face dry with a hand towel.

If you have oily skin, look for a gel that deeply cleanses pores and balances pH.
If you have dry or combination skin, get a moisturizing cleanser that washes away impurities without stripping your natural oils.
If your skin is sensitive, try thick, creamy, foaming cleansers that balance pH.

Apply toner to your face.

Toner takes cleansing to a deeper level by making pores smaller, balancing pH and picking up any remaining makeup or dirt. HPlace a few drops of toner on a cotton ball and wipe all over your face. This will prepare your skin for the mask.

Regardless of your skin type, look for a toner that contains aloe vera, rose, chamomile extract, cucumber extract, lavender, and/or hyaluronic acid.
If you have oily skin, get a toner that contains sandalwood or tea tree.
If you have normal or combination skin, look for a toner that contains willow bark or witch hazel.
If your skin is dry and/or sensitive, use a toner containing calendula.

Put on a sheet mask. Carefully remove the mask from the package again and unfold it completely. Lay it over your face, making sure they line up with the holes for your eyes, nose, and mouth. Spend a few seconds pressing the sheet mask against your skin so that it adheres and makes as many contacts as possible.

Keep the mask on for about 20 minutes. Most sheet masks should be kept on for 15 or 20 minutes, not more. Put on some music and lie on your back with your eyes closed, letting the mask work its magic.

If you leave the mask on for too long, it can dry out and begin to draw moisture out of your face.
Set a timer if you’re worried you’ll lose track of time.

Take off the mask.

After the correct amount of time has passed, peel off the sheet mask by starting at the chin and pulling up.

How many times can a sheet face mask be used

Use this mask in the morning, at night or whenever you like..They’re great for all times of the day because they don’t take long, they’re disposable, and you don’t have to wash your face afterwards.

Start with a clean face. It’s best to start with a clean foundation, so washing your face and then toning is always a great practice. This helps prepare your skin to absorb the amazing ingredients that will follow in the next step.

How often to use sheet face masks

Sheet masks contain ingredients that are good for your skin, so nothing bad should happen if you use them frequently. For optimal skin improvement, try using sheet masks once or twice a week. Or, just use sheet masks as often as your skin needs them.
