Face masks are an essential part of a well-rounded skincare routine. You can integrate any ingredients or benefits into the mix, without making it part of your daily regimen. Fancy an activated charcoal detox but you don’t want a new cleanser? Just use a face mask. How about some skin-clearing pink clay? No matter what you’re looking for, chances are, there’s a face mask for it.

Masks are a great way to give your skin just a little something extra. They are stronger than the average gently, daily cleanser, so you shouldn’t use a mask every day. I try to use a face mask once or twice a week – it makes me feel put together and on top of my skincare game.

But oftentimes, life gets in the way and I find myself sans face mask for the second week in a row, due to lack of time or impromptu plans getting in the way. This is where the sheet mask comes in.

How To Find Your Perfect Sheet Mask

Sheet masks work very similarly to your run-of-the-mill face mask, yet there’s one added bonus: your application time is reduced to almost nothing because (true to their name), sheet masks come in a sheet that you simply have to lay over your face.

Sure, sheet masks do need to sit on the skin for a while, as with a regular face mask. But the average use time of a sheet mask is about ten minutes, compared to 15-20 for a regular face mask. And many sheet masks don’t need to be rinsed off – you can just rub the product into your skin after the mask has done its job, making these masks the perfect hands-off approach to a balanced and complete skincare routine.

Read on to see the best sheet masks to try to achieve younger-looking, healthier skin in just about ten minutes.
