One trend that's taken the beauty market by storm is the use of sheet masks. Nicknamed the 'lazy girl facial', sheet masks first made their way from Asia to North America, and ever since, they've become a staple in many people's skincare routine. The masks are typically made from cotton, which is cut into a sheet that is meant to fit the contours of the face. The masks are soaked in serums or creams that aids in hydrating and nourishing the skin.
The work week has just started but with the gloomy weather outside, we all feel the need for that something extra to make our skin look brighter than we actually feel.
Here is a look at some of our favourite brands that carry amazing sheets masks for an affordable price:
Sephora
Sephora Collection Face Mask Pearl blurs imperfections and hydrates skin to give a radiant luminosity. The mask can be purchased in stores or online for $8.
Another amazing skin care brand that Sephora carries is Dr. Jart+. If you have problematic skin, or just want a deep cleaning mask, try Dr. Jart+ Pore Minimalist Black Charcoal Sheet Mask. You can purchase a single sheet for $9, or a set of 5 single-use masks for $44. The Black Charcoal sheet mask, created with Korean charcoal, spearmint extract and arginine, promises detoxified skin, tighter pores and an overall healthier complexion.

The Face Shop is a South Korea-based skincare and cosmetics company that, like sheet masks, have made it's way to North America. The Face Shop carries a wide selection of sheet masks for any and every skin type -- for only $2!

Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder's innovative Advance Night Repair Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask helps to reset the look of skin. This mask is ideal for firming, moisturizing and evening the tone of the skin.
