Chrissy Teigen often gives fans a glimpse of her beauty routine which includes face masks

Sheet masks are a major beauty craze at the moment, with models Karlie Kloss and Adriana Lima regularly giving their skin a perk with these luxurious masks. Unlike regular face masks, these sheets – made of soft cotton or fibres- are soaked in light serum-like substances. Worn for 10-20 minutes, the serum is slowly absorbed into the skin. Plus, the sheets are mess-free making for an ideal solution for those who are often on the go.

There are plenty of benefits from including a face mask in your skincare routine. These include helping skin clear up by deep-cleansing and refining pores, as well as increasing hydration and softening the skin cells to give them more elasticity. Regularly using face masks can also reduce signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and brown spots, often leaving you with a softer and smoother skin texture.
