Sheet masks are thin cotton masks soaked with treatment essence. Fit them over your face and wear for the time specified to enjoy instant plumping and a dewy glow.
I don't post nearly as much here as I do on Instagram, but I am always writing something! Here are my latest articles on other sites. GlowieCo and I have developed a good relationship primarily based on our shared love of Taiwanese sheet masks. I've wanted to write a big sheet mask ingredient guide for [...]
