It's Saturday night and you’ve got to step out. Drinks with friends. Date night. Wedding ceremony. Whatever be the reason, it could be any occasion. The weekend is for revelry, and you’ve got to look the part. Unless you’re one of those perennial stay at home types, in which case, this isn’t for you.
But for those of you who do enjoy going out, we’re hoping you’ve got your arsenal sorted. Not just a great outfit and top tier accessories but that glow on the face that says you’re feeling better than ever, and looking your best. The one that comes with a regimented skincare regime and a healthy lifestyle. You don’t have that? Shocker. But fret not for here’s the cheat sheet you didn’t know you needed.
Say hello to sheet masks. Probably the most underrated skincare tools to give your face an instant glow it totally needs and deserves.
Benefits of using a sheet mask
There’s a reason why sheet masks are quite incredible, and everyone who likes to have their face looking glowing swears by these masks.
Here are some benefits:
Hydration
Most sheet masks are loaded, yes loaded with hyaluronic acid and/or glycerine and that makes them potent hydrators for your skin.
Glow
Sheet masks are designed to give your skin an instant glow, making it look fresh, radiant and lifted. Basically, the perfect way to get a great shine before you step out.
Treatment
Depending on the kind of sheet mask you’re using, you can address specific skin concerns like anti-ageing, hyperpigmentation, dullness, etc.
Cooling
For those dealing with irritated and/or inflamed skin, sheet masks can greatly help with cooling and soothing your skin.
Esquire tip: Before any party or evening out, once you’re ready, use a sheet mask for 15-20 minutes (don’t forget to pat the excessive serum left once you’ve taken it off) and arrive at your destination looking better than ever!
