What's one of the best things you can do while staying at home? For us, it’s following your skincare routine religiously! According to studies, stress and anxiety have been found to manifest themselves in skin problems. So, giving yourself a chance to unwind before heading to bed should be one of your top priorities and one of the most calming steps in skincare is masking.
Expert tips on how to apply your sheet mask properly
Dermatologists recommend using sheet masks as a complementary step to your skincare routine.
If you're new to using sheet masks or face masks, here are the key application steps to get you started! First, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water. This helps remove makeup, dirt, and residue to allow your skin to absorb the skincare ingredients better.
Then, place the sheet mask onto your face, ensuring that the cutouts align with your eyes, mouth, and nose. Now, sit back, relax and let the skincare ingredients in the sheet mask work their magic. Choose a sheet mask that meets your skincare concerns and needs — be it to brighten, hydrate, or smoothen your complexion. Always check and adhere to the allotted amount of application time stated on the packaging of the product.
As your final step, gently peel away the sheet mask from your face, and complete your sheet mask routine by patting any excess product onto the rest of your face and neck. Now that you've got the basics down pat, it's time for you to treat yourself to a pampering, skin hydration experience with our best nighttime sheet mask recommendations.
