Most K-beauty experts recommend using a sheet mask 2–3 times per week, though some people use them daily. Sheet masks are concentrated treatments, not replacements for your regular routine, apply your toner first, mask for 15–20 minutes, then pat in the remaining essence and follow with moisturiser. Don't rinse off after removing.

Hyaluronic acid sheet masks and sleeping masks are the go-to for dehydrated skin. Mediheal and Mixsoon offer excellent hydrating sheet masks, while the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask is a cult overnight treatment for intense hydration. Look for masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides.

A sheet mask is a single-use fabric soaked in serum essence, worn for 15–20 minutes before being removed. A sleeping mask (or overnight mask) is a thick gel or cream formula applied as the last step of your evening routine and left on overnight, your skin absorbs it while you sleep. Sleeping masks are generally more occlusive and deeply nourishing.

Sheet masks are generally safe to use daily as they're non-invasive, though using them 2–3 times a week is sufficient for most people. Wash-off clay or exfoliating masks should be used less frequently, once or twice a week maximum, as overuse can irritate or over-strip the skin. Always follow any mask with moisturiser.
