Pharmacy sheet masks everything they say

What are sheet masks?

If you haven't tried a sheet mask yet, now is the time to try this product. Unlike traditional face masks, which are usually made from clay and must be removed with water - and a little oil! Sheet masks don't require nearly as much effort. A sheet mask is a sheet (hence the name) usually soaked in serum—often half a bottle—with holes for the eyes and mouth. It adheres to the contours of your face, stays in place while you do something else for 15 minutes or so, and then comes off. Instead of rinsing off excess product, you'll be rubbing it into your skin, so it's truly a two-in-one skin care product!

Sheet masks offer a great no-clutter option and one of our favorite ways to mask on the go – in fact, most beauty editors keep a few in tow while flying! Some sheet masks are designed to improve the appearance of the skin, while others reverse some of the visible signs of skin aging. The only thing they have in common is that they are hydrating and Garnier sheet masks are no exception!

Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask Reviews

While sheet masks in the past were typically available through luxury brands - with high price tags - or independent brands - read: very hard to find - now, thanks to Garnier, they're available at your local pharmacy for a suggested retail price of just $2.99 US per piece. ! What's more, the new Moisture Bomb sheet masks - three in total - are designed to address unique skin types and skincare challenges, so there's a choice for everyone!

Depending on which mask you choose, it can soothe dehydrated skin, brighten it up, or visibly tighten pores. Each is infused with a unique blend of antioxidants to meet the specific needs of different skin types. While each mask has its own unique benefits, they are all formulated with hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that can attract and hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, making each one, as their name suggests, super hydrating. Choose your favorite, leave on for 15 minutes and enjoy a more hydrated complexion!

The first Moisture Bomb sheet mask we tried was the Hydrating Sheet Mask. This mask is designed to provide deep hydration for skin that is instantly softer and more radiant. In addition to hyaluronic acid, its formula boasts pomegranate extract, a unique antioxidant that is gaining popularity in the skincare world. Already after one application, our skin was very hydrated, fresher and softer and looked much more radiant than before, a huge plus after the harsh winter changed our complexion.

Next, we tried a mattifying sheet mask. This unique mask is designed to deeply hydrate and balance the skin while visibly reducing pores. In addition to hyaluronic acid, it contains the antioxidant green tea extract. We love that this sheet mask was created for those with combination skin as sheet masks are often designed for dry skin types. We also loved this mess free version of the mask, which helped reduce the look of our pores.

Finally, we get to the soothing sheet mask. Ideal for skin that feels tight and uncomfortable after washing, this mask deeply hydrates, soothes and soothes the skin. It contains hyaluronic acid and antioxidant chamomile extract. Since this winter made our skin tremble - one day was sunny and mid-60s, and the other was snowy and below freezing - this mask was truly divine. This mask in particular is officially our mandatory carry-on as the aftermath of air travel always makes our complexion feel and look less than stellar.

How to include moisturizing sheet masks in your daily routine

To use masks, start with clean skin - we recommend cleansing it with Garnier micellar water, which we cover here! Then take the mask out of the package and press it against your face with the blue side up. Peel off this blue film and adjust the mask to fit the contours of your face and leave on for 15 minutes. Follow the news on social media, read a magazine, or stream your favorite TV show while you wait for the mask to do its thing. After 15 minutes, remove the mask, and then gently massage the remaining product onto the skin for extra hydration!

We love using these sheet masks during our Sunday skincare routine when we travel and every time our skin feels a little parched. We are obsessed with how convenient and affordable it can be to buy multiple masks at the pharmacy and we definitely recommend trying these sheet masks in your daily routine!
