Skin feeling dry and dehydrated? The sheet masks below are what you’re going to want to reach for all winter long.
When your skin needs a little something extra, sheet masks are the perfect panacea. With winter in full swing, now is one of those times when that “something extra” is very much needed.
You can always count on sheet masks of any form to offer up a major dose of moisture. But because there are so many to choose from, and because some are superior at effectively targeting dry patches, rough texture, irritation, and other related skin issues that arise this time of year, we’ve rounded up four options.
Mediheal N.M.F. Intensive Hydrating Sheet Mask ($9.95 for four)
Why we like it: Created using innovative technology, this mask contains key ingredients that help maintain hydration levels of skin like hyaluronic acid and amino acids. These hydrating superheroes revamp the skin from being dull and flaky to glowing and soft.
What reviewers say:
“One of the best sheet mask I’ve ever tried. My face was fully hydrated and glowy (And the effect was still there 2 days after). I have really sensitive skin and I usually have reactions to sheet masks, but not this time.”
“A perfect pick-me-up mask for days when your skin is extra dry or in need of some love!”
Neogen Super Hydra Aqua Capsule Mask ($25 for 5)
Why we like it: This mask is like a hydration explosion. It comes with an ampoule capsule that you saturate the mask with right before use. This capsule contains nano-sized hyaluronic acid, which helps skin retain twice the amount of moisture than regular hyaluronic acid, plus ingredients like ceramides to deeply hydrate. The mask’s special fabric ensures that the ampoule effectively penetrates skin and fits securely onto the face.
What reviewers say:
“I generally have a problem with moisturizing my face but after using this mask a couple times each week my face was brighter softer and stopped flaking.”
“These sheet masks hydrate perfectly without overdoing it. They leave the skin supple and bouncy. The fit is perfect and they’re full of amazing essence.”
Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask
Why we like it: This mask is rich in ceramides that strengthen the skin barrier, plus soothing ingredients like aloe vera and centella asiatica extract, making it ideal for dry skin that’s also experiencing sensitivities.
What reviewers say:
“What a treat! This is the first time I’ve used a sheet mask. I have very sensitive, dry, acne-prone skin. This didn’t irritate at all. It stayed in place. My skin felt very soft, soothed and supple.”
“This is great at soothing skin. My skin has been red, sensitive, and inflamed from traveling and pollution. I put this on and post-mask a couple hours later I got compliments on my skin!”
Acwell 5.5 Super-Fit Moisture Mask
Why we like it: Acwell has established a reputation for creating what many would consider to be holy grail products, and you can add this mask to the list. The star ingredient beta glucan is responsible for reinforcing the moisture barrier so the skin will retain the newly added hydration. Simultaneously, beta glucan also soothes skin.
What reviewers say:
“This is the most hydrating mask! I had 5 people the next day after using it comment on how well rested I looked! I am not well rested with a 5 mo infant and a 2 year old. I can’t wait to get my next shipment.”
“It made my skin look and feel glowy right after I removed the mask! Stayed on even after a night’s sleep of sleeping on the side of my face! My skin feels SO soft, moisturized and supple. I love this feeling–and look!! No break-outs, no itchiness–just beautiful, glowy skin!!”
Dr. Althea Squalane Silk Mask ($17 for five)
Why we like it: This mask is rich in super-star hydrating and moisturizing ingredients including hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, a protein that replenishes moisture, and squalane, a buzzy lipid that helps to lock in moisture. Not to mention, the mask is made of silk, an ingredient that’s not just luxurious, but functional too – it helps efficiently deliver ingredients into skin.
What reviewers say:
“I splurged on these for my 45th birthday and so glad I did! These are very hydrating, premium masks. The sheet is sooo soft and soaked with essence.”
“Love this for my dry sensitive skin!! Feels like velvet on my skin and is so soft!! My skin is super moisturized after using this I will definitely buy again!
