Earning the title as the second biggest star (after yourself, of course, and maybe your glass of wine) in your #selfcaresunday selfie is the beloved sheet mask. Essentially a face cloth soaked in powerful serums, vitamins and all the skin-loving stuff you can think of, it’s the efficient and budget-friendly (if you choose our below picks) ticket to getting your glow back, and keeping it.

The kids laugh at me wearing sheet masks.
Same as my kids. They think I look like a horror movie character.
I have a few sheet masks which I'm yet to use (I was given them). They don't really appeal to me, they just look messy 🙁
I'm not generally a fan of sheet masks.
I just dont know if they actually do anything
To be honest, you are best of using serums!
Garnier tissue mask range is my favourite.
I like them except some fall off and you have to lay down
It’s hard for me to find time to use sheet masks and it seems that every gwp, sample bag and goody bag comes with at least one hence my large stash. I am trying to use one every week or two. I haven’t used any of those but I do have the neutrogena one.
I read a recent article saying that they aren't better than any other mask you can find in a jar to slather on.
You are best of using your favourite serums and a silicone mask.
Oh yes, they do slide off!!
That is good to know. Sheet masks seems to be a flavour of the month.
I would say most want to slide off!
I do enjoy a sheet mask but overall I prefer masks from a jar. There seems to be less waste with that.
Not usually a fan of sheet masks but these sound good
The minenssey sounds very good!
I've tried the Neutrogena mask and it was really good but in general I find sheet masks work out too expensive, I'd rather buy a jar of face mask. I also multimask when I have time, I use a clay mask on my nose and a hydrating one everywhere else
They are very expensive! You can buy masks without the serum and they work out so much cheaper!
Sounds good.
I’ve not tried a SM and I probably will stick with masks in jars or tubes
You know I will comment on this article because I sheet mask all the time. No jars or pots for me – very unhygienic if you don't use a spatula and regularly clean the spatula. Get multiples of sheet masks in sachets (e.g. LuLuLun) and it is better for the environment than single use. I wouldn't really recommend the ones in the article but some are okay like the Neutrogena but not great for the price.
I love LuLuLun! I’m currently using a sake mask I picked up at Daiso- quite lovely!
No Surprises there… Some great choices…
Sheet masks are great – way less mess.
I don’t like sheet masks. Just how wet and slimy they are.
I had a sheet mask party with my mum and sister, it was great fun! I like the sound of the Garnier one, might get that next time
LOVE sheet masks! I really need to try the Garnier ones, but I really love the Skin Republic and JiiJu Beauty ones
I simply adore the Neutrogena hydro boost sheet mask, it's like oasis for my dry skin. I also like the Innisfree sheet masks, they're really very good
I've tried the minenssey mask through the trial team and absolutely loved it!!!! Such an amazing mask
That minessey one is one i want to try 🙂

BH, please remove.
I prefer to use a facial oil or serum rather than a sheet mask.

I am not really good at using sheet masks so just stick to the ones we apply in cream forms.
I love a good Korean or Japanese face mask.
