Step Aside Sheet Masks. Hydrogel Is The Skincare Treatment Of The Future.

posted in Beauty on 9/16/2016

Hydrogel masks have been gaining popularity lately, but do you know what makes them special? Simply put, hydrogel masks are the upgraded version of cotton masks. The main difference between a sheet mask and a hydrogel mask is the material. Sheet masks are usually a thin, treatment-soaked piece of cloth, while hydrogel masks have a thin gel form. They have the ability to lock in moisture much better than cotton.

The essence is absorbed into your skin as the hydrogel melts, and the gel can pack in much more nutrients than the cotton sheet can. Also, the hydrogel helps to keep your skin directly in contact with the nutrients longer without evaporating as quickly as a cotton sheet would.

Let’s learn about the 3 main types of masks (and why hydrogel is the most effective choice)!

# 1: Paper masks
These are the cheapest kind. They're also the most popular and can be found in all drugstores and dollar stores. They provide the lowest level of absorption of active ingredients, and their main feature is making sure the mask stays moist on the skin for at least 10-15 minutes.

# 2: Cotton masks
These masks adhere to the skin a lot better than paper ones, and they also stay moist longer; we’re talking about 15-20 minutes. Five minutes’ difference might not sound like much, but it’s actually a lot when it comes to masks.

#3: Hydrogel Masks
These masks are actually made out of the same medical grade material that’s used for treating burn victims– which gives you an idea of how powerful (yet soothing) hydrogel masks are.

Our Sleeping Beauty Gold Facial masks and Bye Bye Eye Bags undereye masks offer the highest level of absorption and create a layer between the skin and the environment. They can be worn from 15 minutes to overnight, and stay refreshingly moist the entire duration of use, meaning you'll wake up with a hydrated and youthful complexion by morning!
