Sheet Masks for Men’s Skincare Routine

You’ve landed in the right place if you are looking for your next skincare addition. We've all heard of face masks - the thick, muddy goodness that sits on the skin and either drives oils and nutrients into the skin, or helps draw out impurities and debris. But we're not talking about those types of masks. Have you discovered Sheet Face Masks yet?

You can easily add sheet masks to your routine, and before you wonder, I don't mean use them every day. Some skincare products and routines require everyday attention, such as a cleanser for instance. It is vital to get your face properly washed every day. 

With a sheet mask, you can add the benefits of a mask into a weekly self-care routine rather than a daily exercise. Too much of anything is never good, right? If you thought masking wasn't for you, think again! Let’s dive in and learn a bit more about it. 

What Is A Sheet Mask?

Unlike most face masks that need to be applied and massaged into the skin, sheet masks are essentially a very thin layer of cloth that covers your face. Don't be alarmed friend, there are openings for your eyes, nose, and mouth. They are pretty easy to place, use and remove.

There are different types of sheet masks, just like any other skincare product, so you can choose whatever mask will help you with your skin concerns or goals. Sheet masks are soaked in serums and infused with various ingredients that gradually absorb into the skin while you wear the mask, and the best part is that you don’t have to wash any residue off afterward unlike the conventional masks. Pretty easy, huh? Any leftover serums and ingredients, you can let it sit and dry on your face or simply massage it in until fully absorbed. 

What Can A Sheet Mask Do For Men's Skin?

Sheet masks can be a great addition to any men’s your self-care routine. They are very popular due to how clean and easy they are as well as the intense hydration boost it gives your skin. Sheet masks can also support in tackling various skin concerns, most men will be using sheet masks to hydrate and smooth the skin, particularly after shaving. Healthy and hydrated skin can help even out your skin tone. The clean and smooth feeling you get after using a sheet mask is unbeatable!

There are even specialised kinds of sheet masks called patch masks that target issues more locally such as under-eye puffiness, wrinkles, and breakouts. They are much smaller than the average sheet mask that covers the whole face and are applied directly to the area that needs attention. Sheet masks aren’t restricted to just the face, though – you can also get hydrating and peeling masks for other parts of the body that often get neglected when it comes to self-care, such as your feet and hands!

How To Use A Sheet Mask?

When it comes to using sheet masks, remember that they shouldn’t replace your skincare routine, but rather enhance them. So, make sure you cleanse and tone as you normally would, to remove any grime before wearing the sheet mask. This way, you can ensure that all of the ingredients absorb into the skin instead of just sitting on top of the dirt.

It might be tempting to wash off any residue once you’ve removed the mask, but massaging it into your skin will encourage the ingredients to really seep in and work their magic. If you want to incorporate an under eye mask into your routine, we recommend doing this after using a sheet mask and before applying a serum or your favourite moisturiser to finish off.
