15 Sheet Masks To Stay Hydrated This Winter
Unless you live in Florida, where walking outside during the day often feels like a full-body steam treatment, you might be preparing yourself for the imminent dry weather. Lucky for you, this list of hydrating sheet masks will save you from the dreaded effects of ashiness.
While the first day of Winter is technically December 21, your face is probably already feeling the effects of the season's harsh, arid cold. Even if you live in a place that doesn't get snow, you might notice around this time of year a tightness to your skin and maybe even some dustiness around your nose or forehead. Thankfully, it's nothing a little skin care can't remedy.
Hydrating sheet masks are mainly composed of antioxidants, hyaluronic acids, and Vitamin E. Of course, you'll see some variations out there including some very entertaining packaging with panda faces printed directly on the mask. But it's the serum dripping from the sheet that really does all the work. Here are some favorites that might inspire you to add to your own personal skin care collection.
1. Good Skin Day drench + nourish
Peach & Lily, $6, Macy's
Turn your bad skin day around with this mineral-rich mask!
2. Bubble Mask Sheet
