The craze for the Korean beauty staple or aka. "the lazy girl’s facial" has taken our beauty counters by storm. I bet you’re wondering why have we been choosing the sheet mask over the traditional masks?

Well, they are way more than just a trend. All of the skin-boosting-uber-goodness is pre-prepared, packaged and ready to go. Making them easy to pack for a flight, fit in your bag for a night away, AND they take less than 20 seconds to apply evenly to the skin so there’s no need to stand at the sink splashing hot water on your face and no need to rub your face with a hot flannel until every bit of mask has been removed. I guess it didn’t get branded with the word "lazy" for no reason, hey? 

So what is a sheet mask? It is a super soft, thin cloth that is pre-soaked in illuminating ingredients that cleanse, hydrate, tighten and leave your skin with a glow. All you need to do is light wash the face,  remove any makeup, tear open the packet, smooth the sheet over your face and leave for up to 20 minutes. Apart from a bit of wiping at the end, that’s all you gotta do!

The sheet mask works its magic by coaxing the impurities from our skin while your skin soaks all of the good skin-loving ingredients from the cloth into the skin. What’s more - sheet skin masks cater to all skin types and can do anything from helping to minimize pores, reduce redness, dry up oiliness and add a hella dose of hydration!

It’s safe to say - this trend here to stay!
