Sheet masks are face-shaped sheet fabrics soaked in nutrition-packed solution called serum. The sheet is made up of variety of materials including papers, fibers or gel types. These sheet masks are different from facial masks (paste type) that you only need to apply, take off or pat in extra serum instead of washing the paste after applying and putting on other skincare products. Sheet mask is generally used once and it is individually packaged, making them fast, convenient, and easy to use.
Sheet masks originated from South Korea, known for their dedication on cosmetics and skin care. Today, sheet masks are widely popular in Asia as a whole. Sheet masks are recently changing the beauty industry and gaining popularity in the U.S by seeing various celebrities utilize sheet masks and post about it on their social media. From the recent study conduct by NPD Group in the USA, the sale of masks increased about 60%, overwhelming other categories in the skincare business.
Diverse types of fabric are used for the sheet masks. Four most used materials from worst to best:
*Non-woven fiber – Inexpensive, low capacity to deliver serum into the skin *Cottons – Inexpensive, difficult mobility, low capacity to deliver serum into the skin (but better than the non-woven fiber)
*Hydrogel – Little pricey, great absorption system, gel-type consistency, two separate parts (top and bottom) to apply on face, difficult mobility, fits the shape of the face well
*Bio cellulose – Expensive, all-natural material, adheres to the skin well, better absorption properties, comfortable mobility.
And then there’s the Orgaid’s unique sheet “Ecoderma” that is an upgraded version of bio cellulose.
