Sheet masks are a great way to care for and pamper your skin without taking up too much of your time. Typically, sheet masks are made up of diverse types of fabrics soaked in serum. Applying these on your face for anywhere between 15-30 minutes, depending on the instructions, allows the vitamins and minerals to permeate the skin longer and the ingredients to penetrate deeper.

Picking the right sheet mask for you can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you out! 

Here are the top 8 sheet masks that are going viral right now, and we’ll tell you why.

Dr. Jart+ Rubber Mask Hydration Lover

The creepy rubber baby on the packaging might be the reason this mask is on our list. We’re kidding, it isn’t as scary as you think – but its benefits might surprise you. Unlike most sheet masks, Dr. Jart+ requires two steps when using.

The first step includes applying a white paste all over the face made up of skin-enriching ingredients such as mango seed butter and macadamia nut oil before carefully placing the “rubber” mask. Keep it on for anywhere between 20-30 minutes. Be careful, though, as the mask is quite delicate and prone to tearing.

Dr. Jart+’s Rubber Masky Hydration Lover works well for all skin types: normal, dry, combination, and sensitive. It addresses dryness, redness, as well as most forms of irritation. The serum is rich in minerals and significantly helps in keeping the skin hydrated.

The “rubber” wraps around the face to ensure complete penetration of the active ingredients to improve pores and fine lines visibly. It’s derived from algae which lower skin temperature. It also contains Phyto Keratin Complex and Green Seaweed Extract, both components which maximize the hydrating benefits of this mask.

Vivo Per Lei Vita-C Sheet Mask

Vivo Per Lei is an affordable luxury skin care which believes in making youthful skin accessible to women of all backgrounds, and ages, without breaking their bank. These values are precisely what it offers in its Vita-C Sheet Mask with each box containing ten individually packed sheet masks. It’s suggested you leave the mask on for 15 minutes, but some users have been known to leave it on for a few minutes longer – it’s entirely up to you.

Vivo Por Lei’s Vita-C Sheet Mask is suitable for all skin types but might work best for those with dry and dehydrated skin. This mask is created specifically to address dullness and uneven complexion.

The high concentration of vitamin C and collagen aids in firming up and brightening the skin as well as decreases melanin production. The castor oil, on the other hand, reduces the possibility of acne breakout, thus clearing up the overall appearance of the face. It results in a more youthful looking skin which, they say, looks even better the morning after!

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Mask Sheet

Unlike most sheet masks, Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Magic Facial Mask is a dry sheet mask. Because it’s dry, the mask’s tendency to accumulate bacteria is eliminated and can be used for up to three times. Slide it back inside its resealable pouch after use.

The mask comes with “ear loops” which you can slip on and fasten, allowing you to keep mobile while pampering your skin. Remember to massage the mask with upward motions to keep it in place for about 15 minutes or so.

Although not the first dry sheet mask out there, Charlotte Tilbury’s mask uses a “bio-mimetic vector delivery system”  which utilizes the skin’s warmth for turning the dry liquids into liquid. The dryness allows the ingredients to be absorbed better by the skin.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Magic Facial Mask Sheet works for all skin types but is best suited for dry or dehydrated skin. More than reducing wrinkles, it’s good for smoothening, brightening, and hydrating the skin.

The mask utilizes cross bulb extract, an ingredient which facilitates increased efficiency of “older cells,” prompting the skin to function at its optimum. It also contains plant stem cells and vitamin B3 or niacinamide, an ingredient which aids in elasticity and collagen renewal. Continued use has been known to result in distinctive plumpness of the skin and reduce the appearance of spots.

SK-II’s Facial Treatment Mask is suitable for all skin types. It addresses roughness, dryness, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness.

Calm, on the other hand, contains jasmine and chamomile, which helps relax and smoothens the skin out. Finally, Firm is responsible for lifting the skin and repairing the damage, primarily because of the pomegranate, honey, and witch hazel it contains.
