Leaving sheet masks on for too long. Some people have a misconception that leaving the sheet mask on for longer is better for their skin. However, this is not true. Leaving the sheet mask on for too long will cause it to dry up and make your skin feel tight or uncomfortable.

Washing your face after applying sheet masks. The main reason for sheet masks is to hydrate your skin, so you must take advantage of the residual product after removing the sheet mask.

Moisturizing your face before applying sheet masks. You want to keep your pores clean and open before applying the sheet mask in order for you to fully benefit from the product.

Applying sheet masks to a dirty face. Excess dirt and makeup underneath a sheet mask can clog your pores. Sheet masks must always be applied to a clean face.

Skipping the rest of your skincare routine. Locking in moisture is just as important as moisturizing your face. Applying moisturizer after sheet masks is vital to seal in the moisture.

Not prepping your face before sheet masks. A freshly cleansed and toned face is really important for your skin to properly absorb the hydrating product.

Not making the most out of the sheet mask packet. Slather on the leftover product in the packet on your neck and hands, instead of just throwing out the packet.

Here are some sheet masks that I recommend.

• Original Glow Sheet Mask – Peach & Lily
• Rich Nourishment Sheet Mask – Jumiso
• Cryo Rubber Firming Collagen Mask – Dr Jart+
• Real Care Mask – Some by Mi

Sheet masks are like mini facials but better! You get to stay home while having your face slathered with hydrating essences. Even though they are beneficial, you can’t skip the rest of your skincare routine, because every step of your routine benefits your skin.
