| I've done a search and couldn't find much in the way of results on sheet masks. I'm very curious what everyone thinks and what your results have been with the sheet masks. Also which was your fav. |

I use them daily!
I am loyal to ZO Skin Health medical grade skin care line, but sometimes I want change but can't afford to go off ZO and risk my skin getting bad. Masks are safe and temporary.
There is a local Korean beauty store and the masks are pricey. Same with Sephora. One girl from YouTube said never spend more than $1 American for a sheet mask. In Canada, it is a lot more for what is sold only for a $1 in United States. Canadians never get deals.
To experiment, I did buy some from this Korean store and Sephora and enjoyed them. To cut on cost, I buy from Winners and it turns out that the quality is better then some I have tried from the Korean store and Sephora. There is so much essence in every package.
I love the brightening and retinol. I really can't find any exfoliating ones and wish there were more options for this. Sheet masks are quick and easy. A great way to pamper from a hard day at work.
I want to move on to the gel face masks or hydrogel, they are known as, Martinni, is more of a medical grade/spa quality and it is too expensive to order due to the value of Canadian dollar and shipping. There is one seller who sell them from $9 to $13 when they are on average of $12 to $25 each. I can't get them due to limited payment options and knowing that they can be sold for that low price, I refuse to pay more. The mark-up is killing me and as a shopper, I am being wise where to put my money during these struggling times in Canada.
I managed to buy gel mask from the Korean store and they work really well (better than sheet masks).
There is also rubber masks. This is a powder that you add water, mix and apply. Another great mask.
The latest is sheet mask with foil on top of it. This promise to have the essence penetrate better. I have never tried it.
My favourite brands of sheet masks are the following in no particular order:
Forever Young
Shiseido
New Age Beauty
Naisture
Skin Factory
Global Beauty Care
There are peel masks and the most popular one is from Boscia luminizing black mask. I love it and it does work. I'm sure there are others, but this has been tried, tested and works!
There are so any cream masks. There are some sold on EDS that are popular. I really love Shiseido purifying mask, but it has been discontinued and I am not sure if it has been reformulated because I notice on the site that there is new packaging. That was a great gently cream mask to calm down the small bumps on your skin. I was very happy with it. I want to try Sisley cream mask called Black Rose.
I have almost every mask from Peter Thomas Roth and love them all for pampering. The enzyme pumpkin mask really work, but overpriced for what it does. I would not repurchase the other ones.
In fact, I really, really love Cellcosmet facial scrub that I would wear as a mask. It is so gentle and exfoliates with enzymes. The cost is super high and I am still looking for a replacement with a better price. I liked to use it on almost daily basis.
There is something new called sleep mask. I got a sample and great to put on top of your retin-a on winter nights.
I have other brands of sheet mask that I never mentioned because I haven't had a chance to try them. Some has snail slime and it promises the world. I'll need to take the time to try them and let you know. |

| Skincare, Both sasa.com and imomoko.com have inexpensive sheet masks in many different brands and varieties and I believe both ship internationally. |

Thank you for sharing, but I didn't see a deal there. I didn't see the shipping cost also. |

| I don't use drugstore sheet masks which contains paraben. So far, mask sheets from SK-II are my favorite. I usually use it once week. |

| Skincare, Alba Botanica has two enzyme scrubs; one is with sea algae and the other is with pineapple. They are both natural and inexpensive(I have not tried either). |

Thank you!
I will have to make a point to search for them in my area. Currently, I don't feel like shopping and will shop in late spring when it is warmer.
Oddly, I think I'm suffering bad allergies since our weather here is not the norm. |
