Day vs Night: Is There A Best Time To Use Sheet Masks?

Sheet masks are synonymous with self-care rituals.

For many people, sheet masks are luxurious indulgences that they pamper themselves with on special occasions, whether it is on a well-deserved day off or on a holiday. However, every seasoned skincare junkie knows that sheet masks are game changing essentials in their skincare regimens as there are numerous benefits of masking that address a broad spectrum of skin concerns. The real question we should be asking is whether there is a best time of day to get the most out of sheet masks.

AM: Perks Of Using Sheet Masks In The Morning

A basic morning skincare ritual may look like this: Cleanse and moisturise. But is it actually enough? Supercharge your AM skincare routine with nourishing sheet masks that wake up your skin and deliver healthy doses of skincare goodness to jumpstart your day.

1. De-Puff Your Face
   A more common phenomenon than you may think, our faces can sometimes appear puffier than they usually are in the morning due to fluid retention caused by sleeping face down on our pillows or consuming foods and drinks high in sodium or caffeine the night before. Restore your natural sharpness with a sheet mask that promotes blood circulation while delivering a cooling sensation which depuffs your undereye bags without the need for a time-consuming lymphatic drainage massage.
2. Restore Your Skin’s Hydration
   Treat your skin to a sheet mask formulated with deeply moisturising ingredients to replenish moisture lost from your skin the night before for a natural dewy glow. A well-hydrated complexion strengthens your skin barrier to defend your skin against harsh environmental stressors that you may be exposed to later on during the day.
3. Prime Your Skin For Makeup Application
   For makeup lovers, a morning sheet mask has the added benefit of priming your skin for cosmetic application. "A morning mask is great to do pre-makeup to give your skin the base hydration it needs," says dermatologist Gervaise Gerstner, MD. "It's just like using a primer to give hydration and prep skin." Using a sheet mask plumps the skin which minimises the appearances of fine lines, ensuring a smooth canvas for seamless makeup application with exceptional long-wear power.

PM: Benefits Of Using Sheet Masks During Nighttime

While morning sheet masks may seem to tackle most of your skin concerns, do not ditch your evening sheet masks just yet. Not only do the benefits of masking extend to your nighttime skincare regimen, they can deliver a much-needed pore clean out after prolonged makeup and mask wear.

1. An Evening Of Relaxation
   Sheet masks soothe and rejuvenate tired skin after a long day of contact with external pollutants. Incorporating sheet masks developed with natural soothing agents can calm stressed skin down and primes it to absorb treatment serums from your follow-up skincare steps.
2. Moisturise Your Skin
   If you had spent your day in a drying air-conditioned room or you had been out under the hot sun, a hydro-boosting sheet mask is your ultimate skin saver. Quench dehydrated skin with moisturising formulations so that your complexion can rebalance itself overnight. A well-hydration skin is key to achieving a healthy glow.
