Revitalize Your Skin With These 8 Awesome Korean Mask Sheets

Sheet masks are probably the Korean skincare product that has already made the biggest inroads outside of Korea's borders. It's no surprise. The masks, which are soaked in nutrient-rich serums to refresh and protect your face, might look a little spooky. But they're super affordable at home facial. There are masks that rejuvenate, masks that temporarily lift sagging skins, masks that give a sunkissed glow, and about any other skin perk you can imagine.

Plus, they're a great way to invest in yourself. It's 20 minutes or so where all you have to do is relax and recharge.

First thing to know about sheet masks: you're likely to have a great experience with any of them. Browse through any Korean skincare store and all kinds of refreshing masks are everywhere. Know what you want and pay attention to the perks that they offer - most are clearly labeled in both English and Korean on the packages.

But if you're new to sheet masks, and want a bit of a beginners guide to some truly great masks, keep reading:

Dr. Jart Pore Minimalist Mask

This is a fantastic mask for people with oily skin or ones looking to get rid of some blemishes like blackheads. The black charcoal gives this a nice, thick feel that's great for relaxation. For best results, make sure you do a deep exfoliation before using this. That way, your dead skin cells will be ready to peace out and your skin will be left feeling smooth and clean.

Skinfood Royal Honey Essence Mask Sheet

This is a two-step mask that promises anti-wrinkle capability, but this is a great mask for anyone who wants soft, glowing skin. It's especially great for people with dull or dry skin, or anyone who wants to look extra good for a night out.

Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet

Want a refresher? This is your mask, hands down. Yes, the advertisement states that thanks to collagen, it does some lifting as well, and that's probably true. But this mask is best if you want a cool down after a long hot summer day, or have had a long week of work and need a boost before heading out on Saturday night. It may be just a mask for your face, but you'll feel this mask's cooling energy throughout your body.

Goodal Cherry Blossom Revitalizing Mask

Goodal has some super energizing masks. In our opinion, the best is the cherry blossom - cool and kind without being harsh, it leaves skin positively radiant.

Leaders Coconut Gel Mask with Broccoli

Here's a mask chock full of nutrients. The science is behind this skincare brand, but even if it wasn't, the placebo effect of broccoli and coconut would kick in. This is the mask you might want for a Sunday night. You can leave it on for up to 45 minutes, soaking up all the bad stuff from the week and leaving behind brighter, healthier skin to start the week.

Skinfood Gold Caviar Nutrition Mask

Feeling fancy? Go gold. And go caviar. Dermatology science has shown that both caviar and gold don't treat underlying skin issues, but they are great for a quick revitalization. Use this when you're feeling particularly indulgent and want a pick-me-up glow.

Insolution Mediu Amino Pore-Tight Mask

Here's another one great for people with oily skin or that want to minimize pores. It's extra helpful before a night out where you know you're going to be putting on makeup - 20 minutes of this mask beforehand will help lead to a flawless, smooth finish.

The Face Shop Baby Face Hydrogel Mask Hyaluronic Acid Sheet

Don't let the name baby face scare you away. This gets its name for being a spectacularly transparent mask that somehow manages to bind in all the right moisture. Hylauronic acid also helps get the skin pumping, boosting those essential firming cells to the surface. After this mask, skin will feel extra young and taut.
