During my little spree at The Face Shop the other day I also picked up some good products, rather than that dodgy hair mask! Sheet masks are easy, convenient and effective, they make me feel like I'm at a day spa/a ghost, my only problem is that they're too big for my face, it looks a little scary!
The first one I bought I've used before and it's one of my favourites, the Essential Hyaluronic Acid Mask Sheet:
The Face Shop describes this mask as a "super moist mask sheet that contains concentrated Hyaluronic acids" Hyaluronic acid should be an essential ingredient in your skincare routine especially in terms of anti-aging, it's a skin tissue component that's used as a skin identical ingredient, preventing moisture loss and boosting moisture content (Source). I love using this mask at the end of a day where I've had makeup on for a really long time and my skin needs a boost, I actually bought two of these cause I love them a lot, and they're very affordable too! I think they were around $3, my next purchase, also $3 was the Essential Pearl Mask Sheet
Described as a "mask sheet that contains pearl extracts, sinks into skin smoothly and lightly", not the best english but it is Korean website so you've gotta bear with them! I've used this mask sheet before once or twice and I really like this one too, it's very brightening and my skin feels so radiant after using it, the Pearl mask, the Hyaluronic Acid mask and the Collagen mask are all part of the essential mask sheet collection.
The next three masks are roughly $4 each, bargainnnnn! And they're all from the Real Nature collection, each containing a 1000mg concentration of their chosen ingredient.
The first one I bought which is my absolute favourite is the Real Nature Mask Sheet Aloe, and I just finished using it now! It contains (you guessed it) 1000mg of soothing aloe vera, that "calms down the sensitive skin and provides moisture" it's made my skin feel so soothed, soft, supple and hydrated! I've got acne on my chin at the moment that's been dry and in pain all day, and after using this mask it's really calmed down and doesn't hurt at all, plus it's not dry! I would definitely repurchase this mask

The next mask from the Real Nature collection is the "Real Nature Mask Sheet Rice" which I've also used already. The Face Shop claims that this is a "mask sheet that has rice extract that keeps skin spot-free and bright", it also claims to soften and sooth rough, dry skin. I didn't mind this mask, but I didn't really feel any special benefits that stood out to me, my skin's condition didn't improve drastically, and the texture of my skin looked a little odd after I took the mask off, maybe my skin was having a bad day.
The final mask that I bought was actually one that my mum chose for herself is the "Real Nature Sheet Mask Pomegranate", and according to The Face Shop this is a "mask sheet that has pomegranate extract which is rich in vitamin B1&2, as well as mineral(s?). Gives elasticity and glossy look" I'll definitely let you guys know how this goes, since I've never heard of pomegranate being used as a skincare product, we'll see!
All of The Face Shop stores stock sheet masks, the ranges available may vary but I've found these at the majority of locations, I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to test out sheet masks for the first time, they're pretty fun!
