SHEET MASKS 

For the most part, sheet masks can be used by anyone. They’re great for traveling because they don’t take up much room, and the serum in the sachet won’t spill or flag TSA if you’re flying to a holiday getaway. Plus, let’s be honest, they’re also great for selfies—we don’t make the rules (but we do snap the pics).

MASK THIS WAY: Sheet masks are typically hydrating since they lock in serum for better absorption and super-charged results, explains dermatologist Dr. Hadley King. Use one as often as you want (every day may be excessive, but you can be the judge of that).

TRY: Sephora Collection Hydrating Face Mask, $6, sephora.com. Holler and Glow Chasin Rainbows Hydrogel Face Mask, $4, target. com. I Dew Care Let’s Do This Sheet 5-Day Sheet Mask Set, $12 for 5 masks, ulta.com.

CREAM MASKS

Similar to a moisturizer, a cream mask will leave you with a dewy glow—especially nice in the winter months when the dry heat inside (and cold air outside) can do a number on your skin.
