Face mask sheet pack

Sheet face masks are popular Korean skincare items, used for hydration and nourishment during self-care routines.

About this subject

Sheet face masks are one of the most recognized products of the Korean beauty industry, which gained global traction starting in the 2010s. Made from fabric, cellulose, or hydrogel soaked in concentrated serums, these masks are applied for 15 to 20 minutes to deliver active ingredients directly to the skin. The format's popularity stems from its convenience and the feeling of an intensive home treatment. Brands like Innisfree, Laneige, and Dr. Jart+ helped popularize the concept, now replicated by countless Western companies. Formulas may contain hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen, or botanical extracts, targeting hydration, brightening, or anti-aging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to properly use a sheet face mask?

Wash your face, apply the mask adjusting it to your face, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, remove and massage the excess serum. Do not rinse unless the product instructs.

What is the difference between a sheet mask and a hydrogel mask?

A sheet mask typically uses fabric or cellulose; a hydrogel mask is made of a gel that adheres and melts as used, providing better occlusion and ingredient delivery.

How many times per week should I use a sheet mask?

It depends on skin needs. For basic hydration, 2 to 3 times per week is sufficient. Masks with strong active ingredients can be used 1 to 2 times.
