10 Ways to Enjoy a SheetMASK

10 Reasons To Use A SheetMask




If you’re looking to give your skin an anti-ageing boost then a sheet mask is the absolute beauty go-to, offering a huge oomph in powerful ingredients in potent quantities. They have been all over the media ever since Korean Beauty became more well-known abroad, however many people are still trying to find out what reasons they should have to use them. Well read on for our list of the benefits of a sheet mask.



1. Serum For The Skin




Sheet masks main ingredient is a healthy load of serum, which gives it its liquid texture, as it should be completely soaked through. Whether its reducing fine lines or evening tone, a serum has a very high amount of active ingredient, something you don’t often see in a moisturiser or a cleanser.



2. Convenience




Unlike face masks or lotions, a sheet mask is perfectly cut to match your face, with slips in it to make any minor alterations you might have. This means the liquid is distributed equally (stopping any confusion when applying) and it can easily be thrown in the bin afterwards.



3. Hydrating The Skin




The sheet mask will tuck onto the skin, holding the liquid close to the skin like a cocoon. This prevents the liquid evaporating as well. Dry skin is one of the most common issues and a sheet mask is the ideal skincare item to tackle this problem. You have the high quantity of hyaluronic acid to thank for the hydrating boost, among other ingredients.



4. Pick The Right One For You




Different sheet masks will have different focuses and ingredients, so you can pick the one that matches your skin type and requirements. You could pick a collagen boosting one, one that targets acne or one with a huge amount of anti-oxidants present.



5. Quick Results




The time a sheet mask should be on the skin will vary based on the product, with many around the 20 minute mark, but the results are fairly instantaneous following the completion of wearing the mask. You also don’t need to wash off the ingredients, so they will carry on working on the skin. You will have smoother skin, it will be softer and will look rejuvenated.



6. Treating Acne




Most people who suffer from acne jump to the completely wrong products, utilising items with ingredients which can aggravate the issue further. For this reason I want to highlight that while sheet masks can be highly beneficial, you need to be aware of a few things. Firstly, you want to avoid salicylic acid. You should also look for one that has calming ingredients, like aloe vera or algae, as these are great at dealing with skin irritation. They are have anti-inflammatory properties, which can certainly help.



7. Brightening The Skin




Oh don’t we hate ageing! One of the sad tell-tale signs of ageing is the facial skin starts to look a bit dull. Well a sheet mask can help to brighten the skin back up and balance the skin tone, bringing you closer to that youthful glow you used to have as a youngster.



8. Relaxation




Taking 20 minutes out of your busy schedule for a bit of personal time, with a sheet mask on and relaxing to music can do a world of good. Stress can cause havoc to our skin, our body and our mind, therefore we recommend setting the mood for when you’re about to apply the sheet mask, so you won’t have to move a muscle for the time it is applied. But make sure not to fall asleep with it on!



9. Easy Travelling




While most beauty items can be a nightmare to take with you on holiday or around with you, a sheet mask won’t make any mess as it is in a sealed pack for a one-time usage. They take up barely any room in your bag and can be disposed off straight away after each use. They can also go into your hand luggage when getting on a plane.



10. Give Your Skincare A Boost




You might feel like your skin is dry or is in need of something a little different, but you’re happy with your skincare routine and don’t want to risk a ‘flare up’. Well a sheet mask can be a great option to add a little va va voom to your skin appearance and health without the risk of causing an outbreak.



























DQH Knowledge drop: In your 20s, your skin cell turnover decreases. (Cell turnover is a key component in keeping your skin youthful.) You know what else slows down? Your collagen production. Starting in your 20s, collagen decreases by about 1 percent per year. Should you want to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, start by eliminating behaviors that contribute to premature aging. “If it’s bad for you, it’s bad for your skin,” says dermatologist Michel Somenek. “Cigarette smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and causes premature wrinkling and a dull skin texture. Making the repeated pursed motion to inhale can also cause smoker’s lines. Alcohol and recreational drugs are toxins for the skin that damage its cellular structure and DNA,” Somenek tells us. “The faster you eliminate vices while you are young, the better chance your skin and body have to recuperate.” Also, adopting an anti-aging routine in your 20s is key. After all, the best offense is a good defense. We spoke to Somenek and experts Joshua Ross and Audrey Kunin to find out more. Keep reading for the best anti-aging products for your 20s, according to skincare professionals. Sunscreen “We all know that the sun is the number one cause of skin aging and starting the prevention in your 20s is very important,” Ross says. “The majority of your sun damage won’t start to appear until you’re in your 30s, so don’t wait until you see it surface or you’ll be behind the curve. Stay ahead of it with a good-quality zinc-based sunscreen worn daily.” Farmacy Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen An invisible sunscreen with SPF 30, plus botanical extracts meant to protect skin with tons of antioxidants. Bonus: It’s clean and fine to use under makeup. Bareminerals Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Although we recommend you use your SPF and moisturizer separately, we also understand moments when you don’t have time or energy for that extra step. For those times, this bareMinerals moisturizer is a great thing to have on hand. Vitamin C Serum “A great introduction to anti-aging is to start with a vitamin C serum in your morning skincare routine,” Ross says. “It’s a powerful antioxidant that will neutralize free radicals and brighten the skin.” He adds that it’s a great way to counteract the effects of the sun’s harmful rays, which, as previously mentioned, are among the biggest causes of premature aging. Drunk Elephant C-Firma™ Vitamin C Day Serum The Drunk Elephant C-Firma is a lightweight serum that promises to give skin a glow by combining the brightening powers of vitamin C with ferulic acid, l-ascorbic acid, and vitamin E. The included sodium hyaluronate is meant to replace hydration loss, so you shouldn’t have to deal with any irritation. Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum This potent serum is jam-packed with vitamin C (15 percent, to be exact), which means it’s a potential superstar at both brightening skin and dousing it in antioxidants. Peptides Using peptides on your skin has many benefits, says Somenek. “The skin barrier is what defends the body against pollution, UV rays, bacteria, and toxins. It can be damaged by several everyday factors. Using topical peptides aids in building a stronger barrier,” he says. “Peptides comprise elastic fibers, which are a type of protein. These fibers help to make skin appear taut and firm. Peptides can also help repair damaged skin, relieve inflammation, and even out skin tone. Some peptides can kill acne-causing bacteria that is common in 20-somethings.” Kunin agrees, saying, “Peptides are an excellent entry point for supporting collagen.” She recommends looking for face and eye treatments that contain these collagen-boosting powerhouses. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Cream This Charlotte Tilbury super-emollient eye cream has a base of coconut oil and shea butter (read: it’s incredibly hydrating). Botanicals plus peptides are meant to help reduce dark circles and boost collagen, respectively. This creamy moisturizer serves up potent collagen-boosting peptides and pycnogenol, and antioxidant-rich vitamin C. “Instead of sitting on top of the skin, peptides penetrate the outer layer so they go deep. The ‘signals’ they send tell the cells to produce elastin and collagen, which are needed for youthful-looking skin,” explains Somenek. At-Home Peel Pads Remember that skin cell turnover fiasco we talked about earlier? One way to help support it is by exfoliating. “Exfoliation is important to help keep skin fresh and luminous,” Kunin says. She recommends using at-home peel pads as an easy and effective way to exfoliate. “The goal in your 20s is to fight the slowing pace of cell turnover. It is wise to use products that gently exfoliate, yet still remove oil and other impurities. Products that have Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) are a good choice.” According to Somenek, you should only exfoliate two to three times a week. “People of all ages are guilty of over-exfoliating and that can be too much of a good thing,” he says. Dermadoctor Kakadu C Intensive Vitamin C Peel Pad A few swipes of this Derma Doctor powerful peel pad promise to leave your skin glowing and smooth, thanks to the seven (yes, seven) types of chemical exfoliants, including AHA and BHA. It also contains vitamin C via Kakadu plum extract for added brightening and antioxidant protection. KEY INGREDIENTS Kakadu plum extract is sourced from the Kakadu plum, a fruit grown in northern Australia. It contains vitamin C, which restores the skin’s natural barrier, increases collagen production, and soothes irritation. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads These are the gold standard of peel pads, with a cult following and over 900 five-star reviews on Sephora. They’re easy to use and contain a blend of anti-aging exfoliating acids. Emollient Night Cream “In your 20s, you need to start upping the hydration in your skincare routine. You may have been cautious of over-moisturizing because of acne in your teens, but as you enter your 20s, your skin transitions and becomes drier,” Ross says. “I recommend an emollient night cream added into your evening skincare regimen.” “Twenty-somethings need to make sure that they are not using creams that will clog their pores and cause excess oil production,” says Somenek. Opt for non-comedogenic products. Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream One great choice is the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, which is a non-comedogenic night cream that leaves skin soft and glowy. It combines the moisturizing powers of ceramides and hyaluronic acid. RoC Retinol Correxion Max Hydration Creme “The best night cream ingredients contain retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and/or salicylic acid or hyaluronic acid. The goal is to moisturize, yet remove excess oil,” says Somenek. This Roc Retinol Correxion cream fits the bill as it contains both hyaluronic acid and retinol so it promises to moisturize while also being non-comedogenic.
