The Best Sheet Mask for a Pre-Event Glow

MECCA COSMETICA’s FUTURE FACE Hydrogel Mask is a gold-flecked mask that cocoons the skin in a cooling, serum-rich layer. Peptides visibly firm, ceramides support the skin barrier and vitamin C brightens for a just-had-a-facial glow. Perfect to lock in smooth, luminous skin before applying makeup for an event, you’ll also notice results building over time with weekly use.

The Best Sheet Mask for Hydration

Press in Patchology’s Get Dewy With It Mega Moisture Sheet Mask Single and leave on for 10 minutes to reveal a plump, glass skin-like complexion. The magic at play: hyaluronic acid to hydrate and visibly fill in fine lines, rose of Jericho to protect against environmental stressors and hijiki algae for a boost of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

The Best Undereye Sheet Mask

Fake eight hours of sleep in a fraction of the time with LOOPS Hyper Eyes Dark Circles Under Eye Mask 5 Pack. Infused with eye-wakening caffeine, this blend of tranexamic acid (to reduce appearance of dark spots), alpha-arbutin (to even skin tone) and niacinamide (to refresh the complexion) is as effective as a double espresso.

The Best Sheet Mask to Lift Skin the Morning After

When your skin feels tight, inflamed and overworked after having a little too much fun the night before, reach for Go-To's Very Luxe Lifting Mask Single – after finishing a tall glass of water, that is. Ceramides, peptides and four different weights of hyaluronic acid combine forces for barrier support, hydration and a snatched appearance. Turns out, you can hide all manner of sins.

The Best Sheet Mask for Signs of Ageing

Tighten the appearance of pores, visibly smooth fine lines and reveal firmer-looking skin with the millennial pink Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber Firming Mask. Working slightly differently to your usual sheet mask, this one requires you to apply an adenosine and peptide-packed ampoule to your skin before sealing it in with the skin-cooling mask for 20 – 30 minutes.

The Best Sheet Mask to Soothe Stressed Skin

It’s no wonder watermelon is the hero ingredient in the deeply hydrating Glow Recipe Limited Edition 10th Anniversary Watermelon Glow Jelly Sheet Mask 1pk – the juicy fruit is part of a generational Korean summer ritual. “Our grandmothers used watermelon in the summers to soothe our heat rashes,” co-founder Sarah Lee told The MECCA Memo. “So miraculously, anytime she would rub watermelon rind on our red, irritated skin, the rash would be gone the next morning.” The founders cleverly sprinkled in Centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid for the ultimate calming sheet mask without the stickiness.
