There are many advantages to sheet masks: in just a few minutes they solve a bunch of problems – from a dull complexion to the elimination of fine wrinkles. In addition, masks work faster than conventional products, their components penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin due to the warm effect of the base itself.

Sheet masks for oily skin

In oily skin, the sebaceous glands are active. A lot of sebum is released on the surface during periods of hormonal exacerbations (even in banal PMS) or other problems. It mixes with dead skin particles, toxins, and clogs pores. As a result, black dots form and inflammation may occur.. For oily skin, there are as many as four options for sheet masks that will help in different situations.

from black dots.
They are patches in shape resembling a T-zone (there are for the forehead, nose, chin). These masks contain charcoal, fruit acids and special ingredients that draw dirt out of the pores. Patches are applied to cleansed, damp skin, stand for time and removed. On the reverse side you will see sebaceous plugs.

For narrowing pores and cleansing the face. To cleanse the skin of sebum and dead skin, and at the same time narrow the pores, use a sheet clay mask. This hybrid has already been appreciated by aesthetes. The sheet mask is already saturated with clay, so you won’t get your hands dirty when you apply it, and when you wash it off, the clay won’t smear on your face. In addition to clay, fruit or salicylic acids, vitamin C, tea tree extract are added to the composition, which in combination fight bacteria, including acne. As a result, you are provided with clean, matte skin.

Soft peeling. Bubble masks are another category for skin cleansing. These are fabric masks impregnated with fruit acids, carbon and CO2, so when distributed on the face, under the influence of oxygen, they foam. It turns out such a soft peeling for the face, and the sensation is not tingling, but a pleasant tickling. After a certain period of time, the mask must be washed off, and your skin will be like a baby’s bottom.
