Sheet masks – benefits

How to apply sheet masks step by step?

Sheet masks should be applied according the Korean skin care ritual, namely, after cleaning the face twice – with an oil and then with a washing gel – and using a toner.

Begin the treatment by opening the packaging and taking the mask out. You can have a towel on you in case the mask drips with the serum that it’s soaked in. Next, check if there’s a plastic film on the mask. If so, take it off and apply the mask so that the holes for eyes, nose and lips are in the right places. Now, smooth the remaining essence on the skin of neck, shoulders and hands. Leave the mask in as long as the manufacturer suggests – it’s usually 20-30 minutes. Afterwards, take the mask off and throw it away. Don’t remove the essence; let it absorb instead. Finally, apply a moisturiser.
