5 Reasons Why Using Sheet Masks is Good For Your Skin

By now, everyone has heard about Sheet masks. These are face-shaped masks made from paper, fibers or other materials soaked in essences or serums.

The prices vary, but what exactly are the differences between the most expensive masks and low-priced mask and why should I be using them? Read on to get all your answers.

Just pop on the mask and when you're done, throw it away.
