Even though you have gotten used to your new life, there are probably many people who lead busy lives every day.
I spend less time on skin care, but I want to keep my skin in good condition! I want to save time on skin care! Even if you are busy, you want to take special care and keep your skin moist and plump! That wish may come true with a sheet mask! ? This time I will tell you about sheet masks.
[What is a sheet mask]
It is an item in which a sheet of non-woven fabric is soaked with beauty essence or lotion.
You can take out the sheet mask from the package and apply it on your face for skin care.
The sheet mask covers the skin tightly, so it replenishes moisture and prevents moisture from evaporating while helping the active ingredients to permeate.
Just put it on your face and wait, so you can do other work while waiting.
[Types of sheet masks]
A sheet mask is special care = isn't it an item that adds to your current skin care? Isn't there some people who thought it was?
In fact, there are many types of products on the market today.
<shape>
Partial sheet mask : A sheet mask that can be applied to areas such as the eyes and mouth.
・Full face sheet mask : A sheet mask for the entire face. Also called a face mask.
<type>
・Special care sheet mask to be used once or twice a week
Many of the sheets are permeated with beauty essence, and are used as a special care once or twice a week in addition to the usual skin care. Many sheet masks are individually wrapped.
・Daily care sheet mask that can be used every day
In recent years, sheet masks that can be used every day have been on the rise. Most of them are thinner than the special care sheet masks, and many of them come in a large bag or box, from which you take out one sheet at a time.
After taking it out, be careful not to store it so that air does not enter the package, otherwise the sheet mask will dry out.
<Purpose>
・I want to save time on my daily skin care: All-in-one sheet mask
You can complete your usual skin care such as lotion, beauty essence, and milky lotion with just one sheet mask.
It is a popular item recommended for those who want to save time, but you may feel that it is not as moisturizing as skin care items such as lotion and milky lotion.
In that case, we recommend adding some skin care items.

Hyaluronic acid, lipidure, ceramide, and other ingredients that prevent dryness are often blended to prevent dryness.
・ I want to care for aging: Aging care sheet mask
It often contains ingredients related to firmness, such as collagen, and ingredients that are good for aging care*, such as astaxanthin. For those who are concerned about wrinkles, we recommend products containing niacinamide. * Age-appropriate skin care
・I want to make my skin transparent: whitening care sheet mask
Active whitening ingredients such as arbutin, vitamin C, and tranexamic acid are often included, enabling whitening care.
I understand that you want to use it right after you get a sunburn, but your skin will be inflamed and burnt right after the sunburn, so please wait until the 4th day when the inflammation subsides before using it.
・I'm worried about acne: A sheet mask for acne care
Ingredients are blended considering the balance of oil and water.
Not only do they often contain ingredients that prevent rough skin, such as dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, but there are also sheet masks that contain active whitening ingredients for those who are concerned about acne scars.
Please note that if your acne is too severe, you may want to refrain from using a sheet mask.
・I have sensitive skin but want to use a sheet mask: Sheet mask for sensitive skin
Not only are the ingredients formulated for sensitive skin, but there are also sheet masks designed for sensitive skin that do not contain preservatives or fragrances.
Also, considering the sensitive skin, some items use materials that are less likely to irritate the skin.
These sheet masks for sensitive skin can basically be used by people with sensitive skin, but it is safer for those who have been to a dermatologist to check with a doctor before using them.
It is important to choose a sheet mask according to your purpose.
It is difficult to remember the ingredient names, so it is recommended that you check the package to see what the sheet mask is for before purchasing.
[How to use the sheet mask (for the entire face)]
① Remove the sheet mask from the package
