Masque Bar founder Allan Lever went straight to the source, studying the sheet mask trend in South Korea, before bringing us his own formulation. The Masque Bar Brightening Sheet Mask, $3.33 per sheet, uses orange extract, licorice root and vitamin C to leave skin instantly more illuminated and help reduce the appearance of dark spots.
The Karuna Clarifying+ Sheet Mask, $7 per sheet, combines Japanese shiso and ginger to wipe out acne-causing bacteria, and honey to moisturize and calm the skin -- all in one citrusy scented little sheet.
Whether you're looking to fade dark spots with regular use, or need a one-time brightening treatment, Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Treatment Mask, $2.83 per sheet, will do the trick. The tissue-thin sheet mask is doused in hydrating ingredients and vitamin C for brightening.
This sheet mask from Hada Labo Tokyo, $3.75 per sheet, contains hyaluronic acid and marine-based collagen to smooth out wrinkles and firm skin while hydrating.
During Fashion Week, the models backstage at Richard Chai were pampered with Dr. Jart+ sheet masks -- they're great pre-makeup. While there are a number of different formulas available, we like the Pore Minimalist Mask, $7.50 per sheet, which contains detoxifying ingredients like Korean charcoal to draw out all the gunk that clogs your pores.
