Content
Most often, manufacturers of sheet masks position them as universal cosmetics suitable for everyone. But you don’t need to blindly believe this, and when buying and using such a product, you should take into account some of the nuances, which are described below:
Here we take into account not so much the type of skin, but its condition at the moment. After all, even with excessive fat content, you need hydration and nutrition, and not just the fight against excessive sebum.
So, for moisturizing, we are looking for hyaluronic acid in the composition, but we avoid the alcohol content. To relieve irritation and redness, the composition should contain plant extracts - aloe vera, tea tree, etc. To combat wrinkles, the product should contain collagen, vitamin B12. Anti-aging effect is provided by fatty acids, peptides. Vitamin C and other antioxidants help restore radiance and help fight pigmentation.
First of all, you need to test for an allergic reaction. Rashes and allergies are extremely rare, but if you have sensitive skin, a test is essential. Secondly, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the face of daytime pollution and makeup. Ideally, after cleansing, exfoliate and then apply a toner. It is this preparation that will make it possible for the maximum useful substances to penetrate into the deep layers to the maximum.
Everything is simple here - follow the manufacturer's recommended exposure time. It is indicated in the instructions.It is important to remember that longer does not mean better.
Most often, the emulsion that remains after removing the fabric base does not need to be washed off. It is enough to drive it with light patting movements until completely absorbed. If the instructions indicate that it needs to be washed off, then you need to apply the usual cream.

Another product from GARNIER, but this time in an interesting black design. The main active ingredients are charcoal and black algae extract. It is on their ability to absorb pollution that the action of this mask is based. The manufacturer recommends using its product for owners of oily and combination skin. After all, it is they who are faced with the problem of excessive sebum secretion, which subsequently clogs the pores.The use of a black mask helps to remove excess sebum, cleanse the pores and make it matte. But these are manufacturer's claims. In reality, things are as follows: the product has a moisturizing effect, but not the maximum. Almost no user noted narrowing and cleansing of pores, but a matte finish is present. In general, the result is not the best for this price.
Cost - from 100 rubles.

Summing up, I would like to draw attention to the fact that a sheet mask is just one of the stages in facial skin care. And, no matter how the manufacturers assure in the annotations to their products, not a single cosmetic product will solve the existing problems in one application. Of course, there are express options that give an instant effect. But to consolidate it requires an integrated approach and regular use. Use sheet masks for additional nourishment and hydration in combination with your usual skincare routine.
