A lot of sheet masks include fruit extracts and common skin-saving ingredients that have long been proven to solve skin issues, from hyper pigmentation to dull skin.
As skincare tools, sheet masks also ride on the latest beauty trends. If you want to try out the new innovations but aren’t sure yet if it works, trying them out in sheet mask form will save you time and the hassle of revamping a whole regimen.
