Why do Koreans wear sheet mask?

Korean face mask is sheet forms a barrier between your skin and the air around it to keep the moisture where it belongs : on your skin. Another benefit of the sheet mask is that it doesn’t get dry and hard like many of the mud- or cream-based masks on the market.

Face masks can have the immediate effect that people are looking for, so although it may be temporary, it can give you a boost or glow for an event. Dr. Khetarpal says that sheet masks (or Korean face masks) are great for soothing if the skin is sensitive or inflamed from a procedure or even a sunburn.

Sheet masks can range in functions, materials, and ingredients. However, the majority of sheet masks are typically made for brightening, moisturizing, acne control, pore care or anti-aging effects. Most cotton sheets are soaked in essences containing nourishing active ingredients ranging from tea tree for acne control and ceramide for moisture retention.

The essence is kept from evaporating by the sheet mask which locks in all the moisture and protects it from being exposed to the air. With such close contact to the skin, the essence forces the antioxidants and vitamins to penetrate into the skin’s top layer more effectively than if the essence was applied without a protective barrier such as a sheet mask.

A common mistake beginner sheet mask users make is leaving the mask on for too long. Remember: do not leave a sheet mask on overnight! Sheet masking should be kept between 15-25 minutes and should not exceed 30 minutes. Leaving sheet masks on until they dry will actually cause a reversal effect because the sheet will begin to reabsorb the moisture from the skin.
