There is almost nothing more calming and peaceful than sitting on a beach or by the pool soaking up the sun, listening to the slight sound of the birds chirping and the wind blowing... until you're hit with the realization that all the sun that you've just soaked up will likely leave your skin burnt, dry, and in need of serious revitalization and soothing.
Sure, you could go ahead and slather on your favorite moisturizer (or even a facial oil if you're feeling fancy), but sometimes you need to go the extra mile; this is when you have to bring in the big guns. And if you ask us, there's nothing better than soaking in some calming, moisturizing, and soothing serums via sheet mask, for a good 15-20 minutes.
With that in mind, we're showcasing a few of our favorite after-sun sheet masks — they work wonders after a day of fun in the sun. And luckily for you, we've tried quite a few sheet masks — ahead, you'll find the ones that really delivered.

With hibiscus sabdariffa flower extract as its main ingredient, this powerful sheet mask delivers majorly revitalizing nourishment to the skin. In addition to hydration, you'll also get some brightening benefits as well as see a tighter, more rested complexion after removal.
Many of us are aware of the seriously nourishing properties of aloe, so the fact that aloe is loaded into this sheet mask proves that it'll be great for a day post-sun. The vegan sheet mask is enriched with cucumber extract and Community Trade organic aloe vera from Mexico that works to make skin feel more hydrated, smooth, and calm.
Antioxidants are overflowing in this matcha green tea-infused sheet mask. The restorative matcha helps to stimulate and rejuvenate the skin to reduce hyperpigmentation and boost radiance, leaving you with a seriously enviable glow.
CBD is great for calming more than just your nerves: It actually does a great job reducing inflammation and fighting free radical exposure — which is exactly what you need after a beach day. (And no, it won't get you high!)
