Sheet masks used to be a novelty just a few years ago, but it’s quickly evolved to become a beauty staple these days.
Pampering self-care days just aren’t quite complete without a sheet mask (or two), and some people even use it every day.
There’s literally a sheet mask for every skin concern you can think of. And thanks to its growing popularity, sheet masks are available at various price points these days.
Here are some of our tried-and-tested favourites.

The Face Masks For Every Budget
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Vital Hydra Solution Facial Mask, $7 per piece, available at Sephora

If you need a heavy dose of hydration, this Dr. Jart+ mask is just what the doctor ordered.

111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask, $170 for 5 pieces, available at Robinsons
image
At $34 per sheet, this 111Skin mask is certainly not cheap. However, the hydrogel mask is infused with tiny flecks of 24K gold (how luxurious!), damask rose extract, silk amino acids, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica to give your skin an instant red-carpet glow.
It’s great for brightening, smoothing out fine lines, moisturising, firming the skin and helping you feel extra-bougie.

Saturday Skin Quench Intense Hydration Mask, $9 per piece, available at Sephora
image
This super-hydrating mask is made with watermelon and aloe to cool and refresh the skin. There’s also fermented yeast extract, which is great for strengthening the skin and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The mask is made from soft bio-cellulose and conforms to the contours of the face well – no incessant adjusting required here. It does, however, contain citrus, lavender and cedarwood essential oils, so take note if you’re sensitive to any of these ingredients.

My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Brightening Mask, $16.90 for 8 pieces, available at Watsons
image
This popular mask from My Beauty Diary contains hydrolysed pearl protein, licquorice and assorted botanical extracts to brighten and moisturise the skin in just five minutes, although the instructions say to leave it on for at least 20 minutes.
The mask comes with a plastic sheet that’s kind of unwieldy, but we’re willing to put up with it because the effects on our skin are just so good.

Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask, $14.30 for 10 pieces, available at Tokyu Hands
image
Sheet masking every day can get expensive, which is why bulk packs are popular in Japan. This cult-favourite mask from Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask is infused with serum made from – you guessed it – Japanese rice.
It’s so popular in Japan that some stores impose a limit on the number of packets you can purchase. The material of the mask itself is on the thicker side, adheres well to the skin and doesn’t tear easily.
