If you\u2019ve ever planned an at-home spa day, there\u2019s a good chance your regimen included a sheet mask.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheet masks are everywhere: You can pick one up for a few bucks at the drugstore or splurge on a high-end mask from your favorite beauty retailer. But should you use them? And do they even work?<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked dermatologists to weigh in on sheet masks. Who should (and shouldn\u2019t) use them? What ingredients should you look for? Which masks are right for different skin types? And of course: Do sheet masks really do<\/span> anything?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the experts had to say.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sheet mask safety and efficacy<\/h3>\n

Before you slap on a sheet mask, take a good look at the ingredients. Although masks are generally safe, New York City board-certified dermatologist <\/span>Dr. Carmen Castilla<\/span><\/a> says she\u2019s often hesitant to recommend them to her patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen a significant number of contact allergies to sheet masks,\u201d Castilla says. \u201cSince the mask is applied to the face and left on for a significant amount of time, it has the potential to trigger a widespread contact allergy involving the whole face.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheet masks with parabens and fragrances are the cause of many contact allergies Castilla sees. That said, if you love your weekly sheet mask routine and you\u2019re not having issues, there\u2019s no need to step away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a selection bias, since people are coming to me to address their skin issues,\u201d Castilla says. \u201cSheet masks are used safely in general. It\u2019s just that my personal professional experience gives me pause to recommend them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also want to avoid masks if you\u2019re undergoing other types of skin treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you recently had a procedure that made your skin sensitive, you should not self-treat by using a sheet mask without asking your doctor first,\u201d says Dr. Suleima Arruda, a dermatologist and medical advisory board member for skincare brand WeThrivv.<\/span><\/p>\n

Castilla and Arruda agree: Sheet masks can be effective. But think of them as a complement to your regular skincare routine, and don\u2019t expect miracles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hydrating sheet masks, for example, are \u201can additive, not a replacement to your skin care routine,\u201d Castilla says. \u201cIn order to lock in hydration, you need to apply a moisturizer with occlusive properties [i.e., that creates a barrier above the skin] after removing your sheet mask.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Finding the right ingredients<\/h3>\n

The most common concern addressed by sheet masks is dry skin, Castilla says. If you\u2019re reaching for a mask in search of moisture, look for active ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin to increase hydration. These ingredients tend to be mild enough for people with sensitive skin. \u201cNiacinamide can also help calm sensitive skin,\u201d Castilla adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, masks with retinol or glycolic acid \u201ccan help minimize pores, balance oil production and improve acne,\u201d says Castilla. The same active ingredients are also popular in anti-aging masks. But if you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin, avoid retinol and glycolic acid, which can be irritating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When to mask up<\/h3>\n

How often is too often to indulge in your favorite mask? That depends on the active ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should limit masks with active ingredients like glycolic acid or retinol to once a week, Castilla advises. Hydrating sheet masks are safe to use more often, even daily.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no rule on the right time to use a mask. For her own patients, Arruda suggests masking up before bed, first thing in the morning or while relaxing in front of the TV or a book. A hydrating mask after a day in the sun can also \u201crefresh and help bring moisture back to the skin,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sheet mask vs. rinse-off masks<\/h3>\n

Before sheet masks became ubiquitous, you might have reached for a mask sold in a tube or a pot. But sheet masks have a few benefits over their old-school predecessors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe material of a sheet mask can provide occlusive properties, allowing for better penetration of active ingredients than using a face mask that comes in a tube or pot,\u201d Castilla says. That means the ingredients in your sheet mask might be better able to penetrate into the skin than a traditional mask that you rinse off your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, sheet masks have some drawbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey tend to be more expensive per use than a mask that comes in a tube or a pot,\u201d Castilla says. \u201cDue to their one-time use, sheet masks are also less environmentally friendly.\u201d If you\u2019re looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint, opt for sheet masks that are biodegradable or reusable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Prescription options? Pimple patches?<\/h3>\n

In the US, most sheet masks are available over the counter. Your derm isn\u2019t likely to prescribe a sheet mask to address your skin concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other sheet mask\u2013adjacent products, like pimple patches, can be useful in addressing skin concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPimple patches are great to remind people not to pick,\u201d Castilla says. \u201cI generally don’t recommend medicated pimple patches, because they usually just lead to irritation. Hydrocolloid patches are gentle and can be used as a good reminder to keep your hands off your face.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sheet mask best practices<\/h3>\n

Always follow the instructions on your sheet mask. Don\u2019t try to get more bang for your buck by leaving the mask on for extended periods of time, Castilla warns, \u201cespecially if it contains an active ingredient like glycolic acid or retinol.\u201d That could lead to skin irritation or an unsightly rash.<\/span><\/p>\n

A parting pro tip: Pop your mask in the fridge first for a little more <\/span>oomph<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping your sheet masks cold in the fridge is not necessary, but doing so can help give them a refreshing edge by cooling down the skin immediately,\u201d Arruda says.<\/span><\/p>\n
