Sheet Mask Review

SHEET MASK REVIEW

sPerhaps it is the quest for younger and more radiant skin that explains why I am always interested in new skin care products. Over the past few years, I have noticed a number of sheet masks being offered by different skin care brands and decided to order some different ones to try.

I first learned about sheet masks while vacationing in the French West Indies some years back…this gorgeous woman from Hong Kong told me about Korean skin care lines and how sheet masks were all the rage in Asia. At that time, sheet masks were not widely available in department stores or Sephora and so I ordered directly from a Korean website. I liked these masks and started integrating them into my weekly skin care routine. At that time, I was traveling three to four months a year and my skin needed as much help as possible.  I now keep a few masks packed in my travel bag so I always have them available. 

Sheet masks are a convenient way to infuse your skin with moisture and leave your skin soft and smooth. There are a variety of brands that have sheet mask options and I have highlighted a few of my favorites below.

KARUNA

Karuna is the first sheet mask brand to launch in the U.S. and has an extensive assortment. Whether you need to moisturize, exfoliate or you have sensitive skin, there is an option for you. I have tried their brightening, anti aging, exfoliating, hand and foot masks and am pleased with the results. They are easy to apply and my skin feels fresh and hydrated after using.

DR. JART

Dr. Jart, a skin care company founded by Dr. Jung, a Korean dermatologist, and Chin Wook Lee , works closely with a group of dermatologists from 15 different clinics to develop cutting edge dermatological products. In addition to their line of problem solving products, Dr. Jart has a collection of sheet masks. They have area specific masks-a Laugh Line Lift, Neck and Chin mask, as well as a Pore Minimalist, Wrinkles Solution and variety of other masks. I tried a few of their masks and was pleased with the results. My skin was smooth and supple after using.

NANETTE DE GASPE

This luxury skin care line boasts a “revolutionary technology that offers women a truly delicate experience as well as immediate results without the need for surgery or the other intrusive approaches.”  Sounds too good to be true? These masks offer a waterless formula that include a combination of powerful age renewal actives in a hydrating formula with ingredients that help stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin – visibly tighten the skin, improve skin texture and reduce the depth of wrinkles. While these masks are pricier than the others, each mask can be used 3 times.  If I have an event, I will use them 3 consecutive days prior so that my skin is glowing.

Shishedo has an extensive skin care assortment that includes a retinol sheet mask. This sheet mask encourages skin’s natural recovery function and infuses skin with hydrating moisture to help improve texture. It smoothes fine lines and brightens your complexion.
