Sheet masks are basically a beauty godsend — they easily saturate your skin with skin-boosting ingredients such as vitamins, ceramides and peptides. And this time of year, they're especially key: As the winter season hits hard, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, MD suggests seeking out the masks that are the most chock-full of hydrating and moisturizing ingredients.
"Any kind of hydrating mask is great for the fall and winter months," says Mudgil. "However, you'll always want to avoid sheet masks containing alcohol, as they can be very drying to the skin." Similarly, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Saya Obayan, MD, suggests steering clear of certain additives, as these ingredients could potentially cause unwanted irritation to the skin. Instead, she advises looking for masks containing clean and gentle ingredients.
For her part, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Klein, MD, MPH, FAAD, says to look for sheet masks that contain hydrating, soothing and reparative ingredients (including niacinamide, peptides, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid). She also recommends exfoliating/deep cleaning ingredients such as fruit enzymes and acids, charcoal and clay, as these will help keep your complexion glow-y all winter long.
So, with all this helpful derm insight in mind, we're breaking down the best sheet masks that will keep your skin prepped for just about anything this winter. From brightening to nourishing options, below are some of our favorite winter sheet masks.
