You Don't Know Sheet: How to Use Masks Properly

August 9, 2017

Best Sheet Mask Steps
Before your next sheet mask night, make sure you know what you’re doing. Sheet masks are everywhere these days, and with good reason. These skincare powerhouses are drenched in nutrient-packed serums ready to nourish your skin. Whether you’re a sheet mask newbie or an old pro, we’ve got a few tips to maximize your masking experience.

Choosing a Sheet Mask

Finding the best face mask for you can seem daunting. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed standing in front of a wall filled floor-to-ceiling with different types of sheet masks. Cotton, hydrogel, sea kelp?! The truth is, they’re all great. If you’re looking for a great mask on a budget, just look for high-quality, unbleached cotton to ensure breathability. With endless ingredient options, you can choose the one that suits your specific skincare concerns.

How to Use a Sheet Mask

1. Start With a Clean Palette

A proper cleanse will prep your skin for sheet mask glory, and gentle exfoliation makes sure your skin can soak up every bit of the mask’s serum. The LUNA range lifts away dirt, oil & dead skin cells that otherwise might steal that nourishing essence.

2. Keep a Straight Face

Align the holes of the mask properly with your eyes, nose and mouth. If your sheet mask has eye flaps, cut them off and put them in the fridge for a bit. You can use them later with your IRIS for a soothing under-eye treatment.

3. Good ‘Til the Last Drop

Sheet masks usually have way too much serum, so use it to your advantage! Squeeze excess serum into a small container and massage it into your chest, neck, hands or even feet.

4. Timing is Everything

When it comes to masks, longer is not always better. Sheet masks create a barrier that prevents evaporation and ensures your skin receives maximum benefit from the active ingredients. But if left on too long, the mask will dry out and can suck moisture out of your skin. 20-30 minutes is plenty!

5. The Rub Down

After you peel the mask off, take the time to massage in any remaining serum with your fingers or the anti-aging side of your LUNA to help absorption.

6. Seal it Tight!

Once the serum has fully absorbed into your skin, apply a light moisturizer. This will help create a moisture barrier to seal in those active ingredients. Happy masking!
