The face-shaped fabrics soaked in a nutrition-packed solution called serum are known as sheet face masks. The sheet can be made up of a variety of materials, such as cotton, paper, fibers, or gel types. It claims to moisturize and brighten skin, as well as treat fine lines. The sheet prevents quick evaporation of serum, thus allowing the ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin. Even when applied once, these masks outperform the effects of traditional serum-type skincare. Sheet masks are usually packaged individually and are meant for single use, making them convenient, fast, and easy to use.
These masks are originally from South Korea. Currently, sheet masks are widely popular in Asia as a whole. Sheet masks are a new trend in the beauty industry and are gaining popularity in other regions as well. It has gained popularity mostly because celebrities are using it and posting their selfies on social media; the trend is being called "face sheet mask selfies." Face sheet mask sales have increased by approximately 60%, outpacing other categories in the skincare industry.
Once considered the domain of the young, the sheet face mask is becoming popular among the older generation as well. And with the popularity of sheet face masks growing, a great opportunity exists to capture this market using innovative ingredients and novel formulas. Another big demographic that has immense potential is men. There is reason to believe that, with the right execution, more men will try masks.
Sheet face masks come in many variations that claim different results, such as lifting, hiding fine lines, and preventing acne, but some studies suggest that face masks are only good for hydration. Also, using them every day can get pretty expensive, so they cannot fully replace the serum.
Despite challenges, the future of sheet face masks seems bright. In today's fast-paced world, the convenience and portability of these masks offer a great advantage over other beauty products that, most of the time, require you to wash your face after application. These tap-and-go contraptions certainly appeal more to modern, metropolitan humans. Some of the key players present in this market are Starskin, Sephora Inc., Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l., Kracie Holdings, and Star Skin Beauty Group AG, among others.
