5 Beauty Vlogger-approved Sheet Masks and Proper Ways to Use Them

Sheet mask is just one of the trendy skincare regimens inspired by K-beauty that made a buzz recently.

It detoxifies the skin and leaves it refreshed and rejuvenated when used overnight.

However, not all kinds of sheet masks work for all skin types. Some can cause breakouts and irritate the skin.

Here's where your trusted beauty vloggers come in. Check out their verdict as they help in choosing the right sheet mask for every concern and shed light on how to properly use it to enhance its effects.

Mediheal I.P.I Lightmax Ampoule Mask EX

Anne Clutz swears by the Korean sheet mask brand Mediheal because it offers a wide range of innovative and effective sheet masks that cater to all skin types.

Of the three variants of the brand she reviewed in her vlog, the I.P.I Lightmax Ampoule Mask EX is her favorite since it suits her oily skin.

It is infused with Vitamin C, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Niacinamide and Arbutin that make the skin brightened and cleared of impurities.

Another thing that Anne loves about this sheet mask is that it allows her to skip toner in her routine.

"Sobrang busy ng schedule ko, and sometimes may time na marami akong ina-apply sa face ko, so kailangan talaga one-step skincare para sa'kin," the beauty vlogger recounts.

"Right now, hindi ako nagto-toner, parang okay naman kasi sa'kin 'yung deretso face mask na pagkatapos maghilamos, so ini-skip ko na 'yung part na 'yun," she adds.

However, even though sheet masks feel relaxing on the skin, Anne reminds her viewers not to leave it on the face for more than 20 minutes.

"Ang ideal time is 15 to 20 minutes.

"Huwag kayong lalampas do'n kasi hindi 'yun maganda para sa skin kasi imbes na ma-moisturize 'yung skin n'yo, lalo masisip 'yung moisture mula sa skin," she notes.

COSRX Holy Moly Snail Mask

To achieve glass skin, Anna Cay includes the Holy Moly Snail Mask, from the cult-favorite K-beauty brand COSRX, in her 10-step Korean skincare routine.

Before she puts it on her face, she grabs that sheet mask on the packet folded and puts the excess liquid in the other drier areas of her body. It's indeed functional and the excess liquid will not go into waste.

Just like Anne, Anna recommends leaving the mask for only 15 to 20 minutes for the same reasons.

After the latter takes it off, she gently taps her face and leaves it unwashed to effectively absorb the moisture.

"I-ta-tap mo 'yung liquid na natira sa face. Hindi mo siya i-wa-wash kasi akala ko rin before kailangan mo siya i-wash. Sayang 'yung nilagay mo, 'di ba, kung i-wa-wash mo," Anna says in her vlog.

Olay Magnemasks Infusion Rejuvenating Sheet Mask

Due to her busy schedule, Camille Co seems to have already mastered the habit of multitasking.

In one of her vlogs, she showed how she packed for her work staycation while doing her skincare routine. Have you wondered how she did it? She used Olay Magnemasks Infusion Rejuvenating Sheet Mask.

It is formulated with tension-fit design that fits any face and allows her to move freely without feeling worried that the mask will fall off. She even did vocal exercises and push ups!

It's just one of the features of the sheet mask that Camille loves, plus, it unclogs her pores and evens her skin tone because of the Niacinamide, and renews collagen and makes her skin firmer because of Pentapeptide.

The sheet mask also has a 3-layer technology which allows the formula to follow a one-way flow that prevents the active ingredients to go back to the mask.

Citing her experience with the mask, Camille shares, "I feel my skin is so much brighter now, smoother and so much firmer, and the same time I don't feel guilty because I was able to do something while I was doing the mask."

Madeca Derma Sheet Mask

Raiza Contawi has been raving about Madeca Derma sheet mask ever since.

It's her holy grail mask and even described her experience with it as life-changing.

To effectively unleash her clearest skin, Raiza uses it three times a week during her night time skincare routine. She also suggests using it frozen since it reduces inflammation.

She says in her vlog, "This is the type of mask na sobrang okay i-freeze, hindi nag-iiba 'yung consistency ng formula niya or 'yung serum niya sa loob and it works."

Unlike other masks, this brand can be soaked in the face overnight for better results, according to Raiza.

"I leave it overnight, minsan natutuyo pa nga 'to. Hindi siya nagko-cause ng breakout, dine-deswell niya 'yung pimples ko, acne ko, parang hinuhupa niya lahat ng stressor sa skin ko. The next day, 'yung pimple ko hindi siya as red, or nauudlot 'yung pimple ko, gano'n ang effect n'ya sa'kin."

Naruko Tea Tree Shine Control & Blemish Clear Skin

One of the answers to Toni Sia's pimple problems is the Taiwanese sheet mask brand Naruko.

She uses the Tea Tea Tree Shine Control & Blemish Clear Skin variant to instantly brighten and improve the condition of her skin.

According to her vlog, it's best to use the sheet mask before an event for an immediate refreshed look.

"Maganda siya 'pag meron kang event tapos 'yung skin mo biglang nag-breakout, kailangan mo ng mabilisang [remedy,] ito 'yung mare-recommend ko.

"Naka-calm down niya 'yung irritation ng skin ko, very very effective for me," she attests.

"Nakakatulong talaga s'ya sa appearance ng skin mo, magmu-mukha 'yung skin mong smooth and bright," Toni adds.
